Proud to have won "Best in Show" at 2021 National MG Rally held in Swanzey, NH with my 1973 MG 850 Eldorado. This was my first street motorbike, bought it in July 1978, restored in 2020. Thus began my love of all things Moto Guzzi.

Awesome group of fellas there!

THOSE guys!

Yup. Warbirds Over Wanaka Airshow includes this iconic WWII fighter-bomber aircraft. It is ex-RNZAF de Havilland DH98 Mosquito NZ2308.

Enea Bastianini - Wikipedia - he is quite famous in italy and with kids who are interested in motorbikes - he was expected to be a true contender for motogp worldchampionship this year riding for the ducati factory team. ASI Motoshow in Varano at the Formula 2 race track is the ultimate event for italian motorcycle history afficionados -

A few weeks ago my Lemans got stuck in 2nd gear….oem shift spring failure. I replaced the spring with the Chuck & Scud Super Duper Indestructible Spring. While I was in there, I also replaced the detent roller with a 688-2Z bearing (per Docc’s recommendation, I think) purchased from McMaster-Carr, they’re local to me. Polished the selector shaft, checked preselector plate, boss and cam clearance. Now I’m just waiting on a new shift shaft seal. Big thanks to those guys and the rest of you guys that contributed to the Shift Improvement thread and Re-Engineering the Shift Spring threads. Thank you!

My TENNI after a winter tuning. Painted rear parts of body and spoiler

Wondered where this thing went...!

😂would love to have one. Hard to find a nice one here, there are a few but nobody wants to part with the nearby ones… yet!

Who would ride a silly little bike like that?

W/the Leader of the Pack !

I posted this after some members were wondering what ecm model was in their bike because the ID tag was no longer visable. Kevin T stated that it can be found with Guzzidiag so, I posted a GD snapshot of my Lemans. ECM type can be seen in the lower left corner. Art

No but I'm right there if you know what I mean...front brake hose almost has no slack with forks fully extended and the start/kill sw wiring had to be rerouted slightly. I don't think I can bring them back any further without replacing hoses and lengthening wiring. Also, it might cause interference issues with the fuel tank. The forks are about a 1/2" higher in the clamps with these risers vs the oem clip ons, i don't notice any difference in handling but the bike sits more "upright" on the side stand because of the risers.

So, the oem shift selector spring broke, after getting the selector plate off the trans I immediately replaced the spring with the Chuck & Scud Super Duper Indestructible spring (barely seen in photo). I then stopped and re-read the Shift Improvement thread and Re-Engineering the Shift Spring threads. After reading the threads again, I was more comfortable taking the assembly apart, washing, inspecting and doing the needful indicated in the threads.

HEY!! Thats MY number from about 13 years ago!!

The first thing I think of here is "crash bars" for the cylinders? ... still liking that side exhaust look though. (But it will never replace my love of the V11!)

Piccoli Guzzisti crescono...

Now THERE is some eye candy!

Hey, I know where that is. Nice pic.

My 1974 Norton 850 MKIIA..built it about 5 years ago..

this is how bike hording starts - you are mentally not able to depart with your totally dead old horse

Here's the trophy!

The venerable green body and red pork chops, and those trick valve covers.....Oh Momma!

New LED tailight carefully frenched into the rear of the tail with a custom made steel number plate hanger carrying the superbright LED micro indicators.. This really helped to tidy up the rear of the bike. The tailight has a clear bottom section which illuminates the license plate.

Thanks for your positive comments guys! Its based on a 2003 Ballabio. It has a much modified replica Ducati fairing with custom mounts. The idea was to create a bike that looked like it could have come from the factory. There a lots of subtle detail changes to give the bike a cleaner more aggressive look. The colour is Kawasaki candy burnt orange code 17L with a charcoal grey centre stripe and airbrushed logos. The centre crossover was custom made in stainless to match the new head pipes (the fronr cross pipe was removed). The silencers are Delkevic 350mm stainless ovals with the dk killers removed. It not too loud but has a lovely deep burble!

In this case, I guess you can have your cake and ride it, too! What an awesome cake! Who made it?

Fall day, late afternoon sun might have something to do with it.

It is on my bucket list, but sadly the Finance Minister sais no...

I reckon so!

It's a de Havilland Mosquito, isn't it?

That's what it's all about.

very flash.

My other italian ride...😀

I believe you! I may have to put my thriftiness on the back burner and get off my wallet for something that has great longevity...darnit!

Vintage car leds is working very well in 3 of my bikes, 3 years now. Cheers Tom.

I installed it dry, I've got about 600 miles on it now and no leaks....fwiw.

Those look really sharp! And certainly much lighter.

Beautiful bike

Sweeeet!

Electrically it would be happy without the sensor, but you would need a way to stop fuel falling onto your left foot.

Very nice pic

a true bulldog bike shopped used for 600bucks in 2009 - living in a friends farm house in northwest spain now - only 10kms to the atlantic coast. The GB 500 was my initial dream bike !!!! - but as usual totally unaffordable in those days for poor me - 10000 DM was the sticker price Honda dealers asked for in 1992. I drove the 3000km from here to Santiago de Compostela in three and a half days through rain and fog. Today it is , according to the spanish Honda Classic Club, one of 6 XBRs registered in Spain. Cause in the 80ies Spain was not Honda Country as it is today. As outcome of Franco politics they started importing foreign bikes in 1986. Before Guzzi was the only "foreign" brand known. Argentino and guzzi owner De Tomaso had a factory and deal with "el Caudillo and his gang".

Wow! That's a Greenie on steroids. Love it!

Hello Kane, My Daughter has been making custom cakes for a while, just a hobby!
