A nicely illustrated ride Bill. One day I’ll tag along for the riding as well as the mutton.

V11 LeMans VS GRISO
nobleswood replied to red lion's topic in Special place for banter and conversation
Same? Maybe Intoxicating ? Oh yes ! -
Audiomike, your link explains where I’d picked up the idea there was V7 club racing, I was likely on the Guareschi website. Yes, we are lucky to have Admin & Docc keeping this site alive & going
-
Thanks all. Considering the popularity of the V7, I’m surprised there isn’t a dedicated website. A place where you can look up past threads & learn more about your machine. I never found FB to be very useful in that way.

I heard somewhere that there was active V7 Club racing in Italy but have never been able to find much about that. So from that I’d assumed there was a V7 enthusiasts page somewhere. I’ll pass that on . Cheers

A friend & relatively new rider, recently stepped up to a Moto Guzzi V7. They asked me if there was a website I could recommend. This lead me to wondering, I spend time on 2 model specific sites, the V11 Sport & Griso, where members ask questions about the V7. But is there a V7 specific site ?

Andreani upgrades for V11 OEM Marzocchi forks
nobleswood replied to al_roethlisberger's topic in Technical Topics
I’m a bit late to the party here, but has anyone taken Andreani up on the offer ? My bike has the later Marzocchi forks with preload & rebound adjustment on each leg, no compression adjustment that I am aware of. -
I will endeavor to take pictures of me with a beer in the company of any Guzzista’s I meet with motorbikes in the background. 👍

Coming up next Saturday in Cincinnati is the custom & modified build bike show held, for free ( threw that in for the suspender snapping Guzzista’s ) at the Rhinegeist Brewery, Cincinnati. It’s a reason for me to get out the house & dream of warm days to come. And maybe drink a beer 😁 & see a friend or two https://garagebrewed.com

Enjoyed that memory; as an 18 year old my Dad hit his mid life crisis & bought the 2.0 four cylinder model that came before the V6. I fell in love with the sound of the engine, the look of the car & the handling

Motorcycles aren’t so very much more dangerous than horses, it’s the other drivers that make the situation worse. Great photograph there !

Who wants to have a go at this first ? Here’s a kit that looks like it contains everything needed but the carbon fiber https://www.carbonfiberglass.com/Fiberglass-mold-kit-economy

I recently found this Youtube video on suspension valving, it clearly illustrates & explains this nebulous topic https://youtu.be/dRekn0iRiRs

I’m probably on the wrong thread, but on one of the discussions of forks, Lucky Phil made the comment that you could get Andreani cartridge inserts for the V11. Intrigued, I went looking, https://www.ebay.com/itm/112664548144?hash=item1a3b549330:g:PoIAAOSwovNaH91O At that price it’s a great deal for hopefully a plug & play piece of equipment

You need a least one of the 1200 Griso’s

I haven’t figured out how to get to articles I’m searching for using the sites search function, however doing a search on Google usually gets me there.

Is the Griso 8V the ultimate Guzzi big block ?
nobleswood replied to Guzzimax's topic in Newer models
True. Cross out Grisoghetto & write in ‘V11LeMans’ -

nobleswood replied to Guzzimax's topic in Newer models
Grisoghetto. Those guys are hoarders over there, some of them have 2 Grisos justifying it as ‘one for around town & one for out of town’. You’ll only get one of them to part with a Griso at the funeral ! Just saying. 😆 -
Another successful Tech Days !
-
My understanding is that Fast by Feracchi FBF are closed now so no asking them. My experience; when I bought my Griso, they were the original dealer that first sold the bike & had done some recall work. When I called them up they had a record of the work done.

Colt, I’ve been re-reading some of the threads; https://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?/topic/20201-re-engineering-the-shift-spring/page/51/ https://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?/topic/19547-v11-shift-improvement/page/4/#comment-213468 Building up my confidence to tackle some of these jobs as I’m a part-time mechanic & have many opportunities to learn from my mistakes 🙄, & going over the conversations there are a lot of experienced clever people here willing to share their knowledge & develop solutions to some of the V11 Sports imperfections. A good group of riders. 👍
