Gday andy roo and welcome, Fantastic choice you have made mate - a great and very collectable bike. There may be a way to tell from the VIN what number your bike is - that info is not / has not been found by yours very truly as yet - but - I have taken the liberty of "numbering" the unnumbered as they show up so yours is now unofficially number "309". Hope that suits mate - get out there and ride the wheels off the darn thing...oh, thats right...you're in Pomgolia...studded tyres anyone? Best, mud

Good onya Henri! Are the owners aware of this fantastic resource at their fingertips? Round 'em up and find those numbers mate! Cheers, mud

Gday all, Looking to replace Dash's electric tap with a Mandello / similar manual tap. Cannot find the part number - any advice please? Does anyone have one available? Cheers, mud

Gday all, Gone a bit quiet! Where are all those gorgeous red things hiding?? 'Fess up now! Cheers, mud

G'day all, Am looking for a sidestand to suit my Rosso Mandello - anybody know of any spare ones / wrecked ones floating around out there?? Thanks, cheers, mud

Thanks d-rock! Congrats and welcome mate - you're getting the best looking V11 out there... Should be worth a giggle... Cheers, mud

Gday pieman and welcome, For my worth: I have been running Avon Storm's on my Sport 1100 and the RM for some years now and find Them to be long wearing and very predictable when "giving her the berries". Australia would have some of the shittiest roads out there and we soon find out what works and what tries hard. They are an improvement over the previous Azarros which were a capable tyre as well. From 3 degrees to 50 degrees Celcius they have never let me down (touch wood...)and have proven to be very stable when the weather turns nasty (hence the name I guess) Cheers mud

Gday all, Thats 10 we've found... 590 to go! Keep 'em coming Cheers, mud

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha - breathe - hahahahahahahahahahahaha.... Sorry fellas, couldn't help myself. Mind you 47C and 98% humidity here in the Wet season is no laughing matter. Hope it clears soon so you can get out and about without a wetsuit! Cheers, mud

He's just jealous cos he didn't think of it first... I've put you down as #302 Gavo - hope that suits. Cheers, mud

Good onya Dave, You are aware that you may have just contracted a life long addiction?? Ahh well, at least you are in good company!! Best wishes and welcome, mud

Thanks to stormsedge and RHIP - good onya crew! Keep 'em coming mud

Gavo - thanks mate, nah really - thanks. I wont be able to sleep now.... Sure is purty - my licence has thrown it's hands over it's eyes just with the thought of the hooligan nutter behaviour that something like that would bring out in a bloke.....damn! Good thing I live in a part of the world where there is almost 0 police presence ho ho! Hmmm...pay the tax bill or put a Senna in the shed...yeah, yeah I know - pay the tax or there wont be a shed!!!! mud

Gday Richard, Thanks for your prompt reply. I reckon it would be interesting to know how many are out there as well hence my call. I thought any and all RM owners could get in touch if they so chose - numbered or not - as they are all RM's are they not? It would be a shame to bin one, but to have one burn would surely break your heart. Imagine the call to your insurer..."Yeah mate - it was one of 600 in the world, can you replace it?" Cheers, mud

Gday all, I have searched most of the archive and can only find mention of a thread from some time ago with frame numbers etc. If you are interested in adding your bike to a register I will collate, please either send me a PM or reply here - feel free to add whatever detail you wish i.e. frame number, release number etc. I plan to upload the tally from time to time - let's see how many we can find! Thanks for whatever time you spend on this, Cheers, mud

Plumpness!!!.... nah mate - just heavy bones... Fun to watch a Jap something in front of you ricocheting around on these goat tracks while the ummm heavier, somewhat portly Italian matron just cruises on by... mud

That bloke Darwin would have had a giggle at that I reckon... mud

So......does this mean I won't be spat on if I add a 916 to the fleet? There was an immaculate Senna 916 with 8k kms in the Bike Trader magazine a couple of weeks ago - only wanted $32k Aus for it! All I need now is the other $31k and it will be mine..mine I tell you!!! Cheers, mud

Gday all, Thanks for the feedback crew - sounds about how I'd figured it. At the risk of being a dill again (redill?) has anybody tried this'n? And yes I did a search this time altho I may have messed that up too...ever have one of those days? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Moto-Guzzi-...sQ5fAccessories It's from the GPR Zorstpipe mob - any feedback appreciated. Cheers, mud

Jeez... don't i feel like a dill Ah well - ye get that. mud

Gday all, One I found waltzing thru Fleabay. Was wondering if anybody had come across said beasty and had anything good to say about 'em. Seem to originate from Pomgolia where they know all about shite weather Apparently they are available for a whole bunch of different muddaboiks (Fred Gassit circa 87). Would consider one for the KTM 640 Adventure - to throw a bait in - those that grizzle about V11 'bar vibration should spend an hour aboard these tough, uncompromising, amazing, capable jiggers - if your throttle hand has'nt gone numb in about 2.5 kms - I'll buy you a beer! Lot like the V11 tho - get up it and all thoughts about vibration are wiped from your mind as all of a sudden shit is happening really quickly!!! Anyhoo - check this out please - all feedback appreciated. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...em=220362588214 Cheers, mud

Your problem is obvious... You've got your socks on the wrong feet - eejit! Divorce - "Love is grand, divorce is two hundred grand'' mud
