My 2017 Stelvio NTX is probably going to turn into a Duecento Tributo. The colors appeal to me, and it's fully loaded up with all the options. For a long-haul bike, I am also attracted to the "PFF" radar traffic monitoring functions - which could be helpful when being pursued at night by a murderous Tesla with a sleeping driver.

Billy Strings just might be the best guitarist I’ve ever heard! Worth exploring on YouTube..here he’s playing Pink Floyd.

The Sport Naked turned out to be a few late Friday examples where they forgot the fairing on the way out.

Interesting, no "Sport Naked" in that sales literature.

He said $500 for a nice pair and down from there. Mine are in nice shape, We settled on $400. A bird in the hand you know...

The profile of the V11 Le Mans is truly beautiful. Seems perfectly proportioned, and such lovely lines.

Inquiring minds want to know

Thanks guys. I have that list printed out actually. Appreciated. I have a large selection of lifts, supports, stands, lumps of wood... Recently got hold of a lovely, German made impromptu centre stand / tool made for the BMW R-NineT. I think it can be adapted for the V11. By the way, the Michelin Road 6 tyres have really improved the handling. Anything would've I guess as the old ones were ancient.

One of the best flat and finger pickers I've ever heard. Grew up playing bluegrass, but can play and sing anything. Here, he's covering Dylan, the only person I've heard that gives the same feel.. Don't know how to imbed. Well I see it did it automatically.

I found some picture at Stein-Dinse. Assuming they are accurate, the Centauro did indeed have a similar side plate to the V11. I can't tell from the pictures, though, if they were exactly identical. Centauro: V11: The part numbers are very close, though. Centauro: 01415850 One V11 version: 01415890, another V11 version: 01415830. Maybe the difference is only the colour.

Just beeing polite. What I realy meant . Cheers Tom.

The only time I did both at the same time was when I had new tires mounted and balanced on the Alpina wheels and I swapped the tire/wheel combo out one at a time from the bike. I do not recommend having both wheels up in the air/off the bike at the same time. we were doing something one time and had one wheel off the bike and had the bike on a jack w/the bars connected to an o/head hoist for safety. Came back in the next morning and the jack had leaked down COMPLETELY . If we did not have that secondary holding the bike we would have been upset. IF you live close to the shop doing the work , do one wheel at a time and do your work slowly and deliberately. Check all wheel bearings and apply a small amount of grease to the seals , shafts , etc. when you reassemble.

Both wheels off at the same time? Best practice is to tie it off ("chain fall ") from the joists, above, in addition to your jacking method. Belt AND suspenders? Definitely. It's worth for that ONE time that one fails without a backup. Don't ask me how I know . . .
