not_scooter_Scura!

& cool.

you mean like you don't hit things you never see, or the completion of sequence like a hi viz. jacket 'wants' to be seen. same way a puncture repair kit wants to used? too much Pirsig perhaps?

I'm more concerned with where that 'oil' ends up. I don't buy into the K&N marketing thing myself... however one thing that really makes me keep them on (pods on Sport1100) is their resilience to riding in rain. n_s_S!

no, not mine thankfully. I look at that ad once in a while - a long trip just to have a look & somehow feel there could be a lot to repair there. I have my Black Sport Naked now anyway .... that's Sport 1100 - black - naked. (confused?) ahh I should post photos really. n_s_S!

umm there this one.

"From RushHour with Love"

that cat will miss it. AND she'll let you know about it...cats man!...

Yeah it's pretty bad that until today that the ony thing I knew connectd to the man was Kevin Bloody Bacon in Footloose saying "Slaghterhouse-5, it's a classic". I can tell you more about other writers though...maybe... n_s_S!

I get it , I really do. well I better, I'm a web designer! Scura is better specced...better designed..later Sports got the mathematics more correct as well. - Guzzis 'should' be red, and I would never paint the V50 III any other colour. - to fully appreciate even things like the fat BMW R1100S, you need to see it in silver, with the orange seat (& seat cover) then you will see the 'lines' as the designer intended. - KTM does orange as their colour, but have a look at a black SuperDuke for comparison (why does it look better? because it was the original designated colour for this bike...like Orange was for the Kawasaki ZX10R). but you know what? none of those is my bike...but the Black 1100Sport is.... THAT my friends is a precious feeling....all your own. Thanks for all comments. n_s_S!

Pete, hope the gearbox is/was caught in time, are they straight cut on this model? and sound little more harsh anyways? motociclo has done some early/quick jetting. (John is still shaking his head at my purchase) drive shaft play is an issue at the moment. I know it all adds up but could'nt pass the bargain and the bike. I just wanna ride more than any other time. How's the GRISO?! Thanks - must be bound your way some time this year.

I'm in Sydney...and love those roads between Ulladulla to Bega. wide, open, fast, wide, fast...err fast!!

hmmm that is interesting. Any takers for Oz? What would be a good place? Bateman's Bay NSW n_s_S!

Hi, I wonder if the pic is in a weard JPEG format that only a Mac can read? I have changed the JPG compression type now, so should work for all. also had to clear my PM inbox to make room, which I have done now. Thanks for helping out.

hmm, it shows up for me when i click on the 'pic' link for all the bikes. anyway it's here: http://www.gknetwork.com/gk/Photo_MG007.jpg but the links should work.

hi, yes tassie. I sold it to a guy in SA, he did more mileage in a month than I did in a year - round trip to Hobart. Had a couple of bikes then, got nervous having a fantastic Scura & not riding her, and wanted to try other things - little bit of racing - off road adventure biking. but bad hair day wouldcover it. I should always wear my when riding.

It was a sad day I sold my Scura. pic no, the NEXT day was a sad day, the day I sold it I still thought I was doing the right thing. in between kept myself busy by: - having a bad crash with my KTM Duke - rebuilt a V50 III pic - seen alot of Australia with the Dakar. pic then... test rode (& bought) my original dream bike, a Black 1100Sport pic should have done this 10 years ago so angry popping and rattling all over the place it was a harrowing experience & I loved it!! yes I got her a flower, it's a silly thing but Guzzis make you do those things sometimes. I'm home. again... & 'still' a so will keep my name .

includes a Ducati 777 (Paso with 888 silhouette). at a Ducati clubrace (Netherlands) I love how the marshall has to tell the other guys that a is coming to play with them! we just don't fit anywhere do we? funny. n_s_S!

I don'twant to start another Tenni vs. thing again , but , that is cheap! n_s_S! Tenni on Ebay

OK I'll bite... what's your best time for PI on a 125... it's all about cornering speed ya know cheers.

OK guys let me have it! - the 16inch front wheel - the first 1000cc engine - THAT dash! now tell my why NOT to buy it seriously how does it stack up? wheel conversion? what about putting 1000S bodywork on it? could be a cheap buy. Thanking you. n_s_S!

umm ... what time is it?!!

Great look...compare that to a jap sportsbike of the same vintage. Classic in it's own right. Ciao .
