  1. OK guys, the T3 California was completed in record time for me, 7 months. Usually it takes me 7 years! I have about 50 miles on it and it runs perfectly! A most enjoyable project.

  2. The GTS is going to remain in it's current state. It was restored about 20 or 30 years ago and has plenty of warts. It runs so well that I just can't bear to tear it apart. Plus the patina that the old restoration has acquired has grown on me.

  5. G'day Tom Yep, it was Feb 2020 so summer. We ran into weird weather though.It was cool and overcast when we set off on the Saturday and warm by the time we got to the Sorrento -Queenscliff ferry. Then due to a couple of road closures had to drone down the highway for 50 or so K's, by this time the temp was in the 30's ( c ) which lead to great run through the rain forest that is the Otway ranges.However as we gained altitude in the ranges, temp dropped and we ran into rain! Once we dropped back down to the coast, temp in the mid-high 30's but after a wee refreshment stop in Port Campbell it was a short run to the Boggy Creek pub and several more refreshments! Warm again on the Sunday but same again once we hit the rainforest of the Otways, temp dropped quite a bit and rain was heavier than previous day.It was quite challenging with bloody tree bark all over the road in places and I swear I will NEVER do the Great Ocean Road again on a weekend! Traffic stupid and a couple of accidents didn't help.Jeez if we were in a car we'd still be trying to get home. When we got to the ferry this time grabbed a pie and a coffee and chatted with a few more riders in the hold by the bikes.It's only a 40 or so minute trip across the bay but saves a lot of freeway crap through the city. Then about an hour or so in the late afternoon and cool weather we were home again. A bloody great weekend was had by all. I think I heard that they served about 70 meals on Sat. night!It was pretty raucous in the dining room ha ha. Cheers Guzzler Ps 2021 was cancelled originally due to covid but then on again a few weeks later but it threw plans into chaos so couldn't go. Pps I have a few more photos, ha ha taken the morning after as well ( we all just got set up and straight to the bar/deck after arriving so none from Sat night ) which I might try and post if I figure out how to post multiple shots on one post.

  9. Having just fitted my 25th rear tire, it's always fun to try and impress admirers of the Sport telling them it has almost 85,000 miles on it. But the real hero: andy york's '02 LeMans with it's original speedo:

  18. FYI: ULEB The Ultra Low Emission Bike is a cooperation between GET Gas Engine Technology BV and htm-moto. The decisive factor for the development of the Ultra Low Emission Bikes was that the number of newly registered motorcycles worldwide increases every year, but the requirements for the "cleanliness" of the exhaust gases are disproportionately low. Source: Federal Environment Agency Germany The basis for achieving the EURO 4 standard for a motorcycle is the use of the most modern exhaust technology, which includes the following components: - heated, regulated three-way cat - secondary air system - own engine management system - heated lambda probes for each cylinder with cylinder selective Mixture control A Moto Guzzi V11 with an air-cooled two-cylinder four-stroke engine serves as the basis for development (90 ° -V), longitudinal crankshaft and two OHV. Engine output of the original: 67 kW (91PS). The following were measured: - ECE-40 city cycle - EUDC Extra Urban Driving cycle - ADAC Autobahn cycle - MVEG (incl. Cold start) car cycle - WMTC New World Motorcycle Test Cycle After 3 years of development work, we reached an important interim goal in December 2000 - the EURO 3 standard. Only one year later in December 2001 we reached our real goal: Compliance with the EURO 4 standard under the conditions of WMTC driving cycle. Drivability and consumption The drivability of the Ultra Low Emission Bikes was rated by riders from the magazines Das Motorrad, Moto73 and touring riders, with the result "very good". The fuel consumption has been significantly reduced: 16.5: 1 [km / lit] ULEB 3.9 lit / 100 km @ 100 km / h 6.8 lit / 100 km @ 160 km / h 12.6: 1 [km / lit] standard V11 5.0 & 4.8 lit / 100 km @ 100 km / h 7.3 & 8.1 lit / 100 km @ 160 km / h Comparison between WMTC and MVEG driving cycle - The high-speed phase is significantly longer in the WMTC cycle (approx. 400s between 100km / h and 120km / h) - the MVEG cycle contains more idle phases - the WMTC cycle contains more acceleration cycles - the WMTC cycle is much more dynamic - the WMTC cycle requires more throttle opening - because of the longer measuring time, there is a longer one in the WMTC cycle Exhaust gas dilution instead Below you will find some measurement records of the cycles run: (click link) http://www.historical.get-bv.com/german/uleb.html

  19. might try cable lube. I assume you cleaned it. I use this for all my non hydro bike clutch and brake cables, as well as speedo. I just drip it in at the top till it feels right https://www.triflowlubricants.com/product/tri-flow-superior-lubricant-drip-bottle/

  20. Fitted new Speedo cable the correct way around without the angle drive a few weeks ago Speedo back going again sort off Its back to its old habit of wildly swinging then settling down I think its only a matter of time before it dies completely I did find a repair kit on Ebay but clicking on sellers link caused computer to do the 'blue screen of death' Not good So be careful out there

  21. Wow, what David Gilmore says at about 8:00 in this interview speaks to me. Something about the other interviews in this series inform my approach to, not just music, but motorcycling and other ventures. Cheers: David Gilmore!

  27. The whole Southern part of the state is getting this way now. Try taking a drive in the Yarra Vally these days. I'm a local and up until a few years ago you could go for a quiet Sunday ride into Yarra Valley and stop at a winery for a nice lunch and glass of wine no worries. Now you need to book a week in advance no matter where you go at any time of the year and the traffic is like peak hour in the city. Nothing like sitting in a 1 klm long traffic jam on a country road in the middle of grazing land on a Sunday morning at a small intersection that until 5 years ago saw about 20 cars a day. Ciao
