https://www.douglasmacrae.com/bikes I came to know of Douglas Macrae while volunteering with the VRRA. He's expensive but he is the best. (He doesn't do just motorcycles, fyi) He's not only extremely talented in many areas, but extremely inspiring. He gave up racing a while back, when he was diagnosed with inoperable terminal brain cancer; but he still does the odd parade lap on some of Team Obselete's fine vintage racing machines. He's done some amazing photos of well known racer Dave Roper and others. If you desire a fine print of a vintage machine captured like a piece of art, go through his catalogue, I'm sure you'll find something you like. In the near future he's publishing a huge coffee table book, but I know he has an extensive catalogue and can do posters or prints as requested. Absolutely no pressure, but if you do happen to get one, please post a photo of it. tia good luck

I'm looking for vintage (60s-70s) racing posters and V11 fine art photo pinups to decorate with. Like the low-res example. Sites like etsy are out. I refuse to join Ebay is also unsatisfactory. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on where to look. Thanks in advance.

well that didn't go over well... https://offthepress.com/update-paypal-backtracks-rescinds-plan-to-fine-users-2500/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=update-paypal-backtracks-rescinds-plan-to-fine-users-2500 I've already removed them from some auto pay accts. More to come

Well if we're posting quotes, this one by Booker T Washington, recently became my favorite. A lie doesn't become truth, Wrong doesn't become right, And evil doesn't become good, Just because it's accepted by a majority.

To quote the learned philosopher Marilyn Manson, "I don't have enough middle fingers" for those who would appoint themselves Internet Overlord and arbiter of truth.

I'm posting this here only because the forum will show that I take PayPal for the Roper slosh plates. PayPal has changed their terms of service in a fashion I find unacceptable, so I've deleted my account and will no longer accept or make payments through them. Cancel Culture and Social Credit Scoring is very real. https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-paypal-policy-lets-company-pull-2500-from-users-accounts-if-they-promote-misinformation

Found this on ebay. In NZ of all places. Bought it, 12x18, $30 shipped. I wish they sold a larger size I have a big wall Who else thinks these were prettier than the V11? Minus the colostomy bag.

Very scarey times. I don't know how far it made it's way out in the world; but during our recent Freedom Convoy, a hacker working for the Gov't ,got a list of of all supporting donors to Give Send Go; There were literally single Mom minimum wage earners on that list, that had their bank accounts frozen, for donating $5. I didn't have my bank account frozen, but I was doxxed on a geo file, disseminated world wide to every anitifa wack job out there. Having witnessed just how tenuous my financial security really was, I attempted to find a major Canadian Bank that hadn't been infiltrated and influenced by Black Rock et all, impossible, they're all wearing the same team jerseys.

I was in College and Worked at San Francisco Yamaha then, He lived on Mt.Tam and used to come in the shop.

Most of you probably follow the Redux thread, but I wanted to move the pertinent info to the top where it's not buried 7 pages deep. Pete Roper licensed sloppage trays for V11 broad-sump motors, US-made in 304 Stainless Steel .075" thick. $85 US. Pete gets $20. Edit; 3/23/25 New supplier, I can order singles at the same price. I've sourced 2mm longer bolts (12 short, not 4 long) for the upper pan to keep thread engagement through the plate and additional gasket. I've sourced Viton O-rings for the oil cooler pipes; I discovered mine were harder and uncomfortably loose in the bores. I've stocked upper and lower gaskets I can include all of the above for $135 US including shipping to North America. International shipping is $125 US plus actual shipping.

Well, for what it's worth, check the indexing of the shift lever on the shaft coming out of the transmission. Mine was way off, causing the lever to hit the frame on downshifts. Once set up properly and adjusted for your preferences via the shaft between the transmission and the shifter lever, shifts like a dream, both up and down

Given the price, effort and time of working with such a remote shop, perhaps you should consider swapping out for a known good transmission. It's a fair amount of work, but it would also allow you to inspect and/or service the clutch while you're at it. There are several topics here with photos of how people have removed the transmission by "crabbing" the frame.

Right?

Thanks 80csx. Macrae does wonderful work. He's out of my league. A 24x36 print is in the $400 range. I would if I could And I saw no Guzzis in his catalog. If money were no object tho, the Lost Singapore Black Lightning would be on the way.

It would be nice to see some Moto Guzzi's in the parade.

Thanks for that, really. Oh Yes- it got out - to those who would listen. The alternative media had and has Full coverage of all the ___________________________ playing out before our eyes.

Yes, what are the alternatives to pee pail ? V11LeMans.com does accept direct card donations. The original post of the Rusty Star Picket Project (P.Roper authorized slopper plate) has been edited by the OP:

I just got the new bar and installed it. Looks like a good piece.

#me too btw, has anyone used the paypal alternative in forum "donate"? just takes a card number?

There are always at least a couple "things" worth repeating . . .
