I noticed that 170 size tires have just about dried up. You guys seem to like 160 on the red frames?

@PJPR01 great set list

I wonder why they did not make it completely Tenni green? I think it would have gotten more appeal; at least more appeal to me! When I look at the close-up pics, I get the feeling this bike may have spent time under the weather. You see the chromed rings around the instruments? they seem pitted. 8k is reasonable for a limited production bike. Maybe a tad overpriced for a market where Tenni does not immediately ring a bell.

As most of my riding is freeway, I'm looking for higher mileage tires. I'm a huge fan of Kenda, such value. I purchased these and am now wondering if fitting these may not work. Even if they fit the rim proper, will they clear the fenders. Shall I give 'em a go, or swap for Kenda KM1 models? https://powersports.kendatire.com/en-us/find-a-tire/

#135. 10,600 miles. looks clean, fully serviced. down in Florida, Daytona Beach... https://www.cycletrader.com/listing/2002-Moto+Guzzi-V11-5031402917

I agree…and just being there and seeing them live is well worth it. Every live version with its mistakes and innovation is memorable. I wish I had seen them more often…but it didnt happen in the past. Opening song…Start me Up!! When you get 70,000 people all singing and enjoying the vibe…it’s a good feeling!

Wow. Love how they turned out. I'm partial to this green and they did a great representation of it. It will perfectly cover the HD logo on one of my jackets. Thank you again sir.

My hematologist explained to me that the USA subsidizes most drugs for the test of the world. We also develop the most.The "Crusty Senior" medical plan limits insulin to $35 copay. I use about one pen yearly. Celcene corporation comped my 1 million+ in an experimental drug and paid for all scanning and other coasts, during a clinical trial and long term study of a then-experimental drug. So, I am ambivalent about the entire situation. However, when I see the federal billions in waste that "might" be used for retiree health care, I need something stronger than Tylenol... PATCHES! Now to find a new jacket to sew them on!

Got my patches ! Thank you . Send $$$ to the address shown ?

Just saw MartyNZ’s post of the WW2 bird in NZ, which reminded me: for anyone heading to the MGNOC at John day this year, at John Day you’re about 140 miles from Madras, where the owner of our company keeps his collection of warbirds. It’s truly worth seeing if you’re an enthusiast and have the time. Ericksoncollection.com. Is the website (for some reason the link won’t paste, so i just typed it) for anyone making the journey and not from around here (meaning, interested in tips on what to do out that direction), i could recommend a scenic riding route or two out toward Madras, and a fantastic steak house in Bend (50 mins south of Madras).

In fairness, a trade for a ktm 390 adventure (etc) would be a seismic shift. You gotta love your greenie… they deserve and need the love 😎

@po18guy We can't really use this forum as a tribune for opinions, but I take the Insulin as an example of what is wrong today. I will just say that in 2024, the average cost of Insulin in the USA is about 100 USD, which makes it the most expensive in the world. In Europe, for the same Insulin, you pay about 9 USD. I know I am going to sound lame, I understand that pharmaceutical companies exist because they make profits. But I was born in the land of Pasteur, whose work was mainly driven by trying to do good. I am sure he would be called a "woke" today. As I have been working in many different countries around the world, I got to try and compare many medical services and compare the cost of drugs. For example, in Africa, drugs are also sold piecemeal by street vendors. So those who have no money can purchase one tablet of a medicine, without any certainty of origin. Lots of counterfeit medicine there. When I was working there, you had locals asking you if you could bring them products so they could resell them to survive. Ranging from newspapers that you used to get for free in the planes, to clothes, hygiene products and whatever in between. Back to the V11 Le Mans patches....

Got my patches...thanks!

To shepherd a drug from concept through a 20% chance of final approval, it costs drug companies 5+ years and 2-5 billion dollars. Without investors, we would have only about 25% of the drugs we have now. IOW, I would be long gone. Necassary evil or double-edged sword? Or both? Fortunately, yesterday I signed up for an insurance plan that will cut me down to $3K/year out of pocket. A $175,000 SAVINGS!

All patches have been dispatched, minus Randy, for whom I am still waiting for an address. The three overseas shipping takes 6 to 10 days according to USPS. Also, as strange as it may seem, the tracking is restricted to US IPs, and only till the shipment is on US soil. At present, Tomchri's package has flown from Chicago. I am monitoring progress on NZ and Germany.

received my patches, thank you @p6x
