Got around to doing this. Not totally enamoured by the look but a clocks a useful thing on a bike so that tips the scales. I was struggling with finding somewhere to fit it that didn't look too odd and I finally went with a bolt on fit which involved a bit of work. If anyone is interested in the process I'll add to this thread.

Business wise (I'm self employed) I had a really crappy 2nd and 3d quarter in 2020. But in October suddenly (new) clients began to call. Everything's going well!
Next week I will receive the keys to my new home. After 4 years in a small apartment, my GF and I decide to finally stop with the LAT and move in together. We bought a nice roomy house (with a garage! ) and we hope to grow old together there.
As for Covid: we had an 'intelligent lockdown' last year and in the summer after the first wave everything loosened up a bit. But when the second wave came our government decided we had to be at home at 9.00 PM until 4.30 AM. This is still the case. To be honest, apart from closed shops, bars and restaurants an doing the online meetings, my life wasn't very different. We we're allowed to get out on our bike. That made up for all the other stuff.
I talked with Walt (Lodge at Tellico) today on the phone. What a golden guy. Our Seventeenth "South'n Spine Raid."
I told him I thought it is our twelve'th staying with them at The Lodge at Tellico. Yep: year one there (in Tellico): 2010 . .
Greenie and parts are still for sale. Will hit CL in a few weeks. Personally I'd buy the mint one near me in CT first, but that's a stock silver one. Mine is a modded greeenie so perhaps it's for an even smaller micro-slice of the Guzzi buying public.
Who am I kidding... I mean the 10 or so guys in the New England area over 65 who have enough flexibility left to want to ride a V11 Sport. Not sure there is a smaller market on earth than the one for used Guzzis :-).

I've got the smaller model of Formotion and it has held on for years on the triple clamp with double-sided tape believe it or not. The batteries do not last long BTW - about a year in my experience. Very useful addition.
We haven't watched TV for years, either. Have one, but only use it for "rolling" pix when we have company. Do occasionally -- as in twice a year, mebbe -- watch DVD or stream movies on our laptops, but that's about it.
Now, as for pix, above. What's with the "50" on the side panel?
And, yes, I saw the woman ... and approve.
"Villanelle," yah? I see this is BBC, so I've not seen any of this. Wait . . . I haven't watched any "television" since the early 80s, so would not have seen it anyway . . .
Thanks, p6x! Lovely!
Took old Red out for a test ride with the new downpipes...central coast California, out on Hwy 166. Here at the Willow trailhead on the Los Padres N.F.
Last weekend I added a Carbon weave alternator cover on my Rosso...along with changing out the damn crossover pipe with a set of Mistral down tubes. The cover I got was from Pomponi's Garage. Claudio did a really nice job on the part and was great communicating with me from Italy. This picture shows the cover with the old cross over pipe, which was a beeyatch to seal (even with a solid shim kit) and was always in the way. The new Mistrals sound great, were easy to fit. They run into a Stucchi x-over and a set of Mistral Titanium ovals.
