They were just mowed.

Received! I am not entirely satisfied with how the green gradient turned out. I should have asked them to send me a sample. Another point is the "L" of the "Le Mans" which is really looking alike the "1". What do you think?

The owner of the shop in Holland where I bought it asked me, any experience with sidecar ? I said no, ok, course first then. Went to a big open space. Go riding he said. Didn't take long before I tried riding on 2 wheels. He then wawed, your good to go . It was even red. Cheers Tom.

If I had the space, I would seriously consider this one, even in this color.... Anyone else?

It's pointless discussing fine tuning a Guzzi for the subtle operations such as fine throttle response, idle and coughing when you are trying or indeed running it on 100 octane race fuel. The higher the octane rating the less volatile the fuel and the more likely you are to have low speed throttle response and idling issues. Low volatility is great for anti knock but bad for pretty much everything else. The greater volatility of lower octane fuels also helps with intake temps due to better evaporation in the inlet manifold which also is the reason the higher octane fuels often exhibit poor low speed running. We ran some race engines on 100LL Avgas back in the day on injected Ducati Superbike engines and they exhibited poor low speed running especially when the engine was cold and the only advantage it offered was consistency. In the IOM years ago the guy in the next garage to us was using it in his Kawasaki production bike and it was a bitch to keep running properly on start up even with choke at 0430 in the cold weather before the 5am practice started. The Sunco 100 race fuel is actually 104 RON octane and the highest pump fuel we have here is 98 Octane, so it's a decent jump. America uses some average number of RON and MON for their ratings. So on a Guzzi engine I'm pretty confident the Sunco fuel will result in worse low speed running especially at cooler OAT's and poorer starting as well. It's street legal in the US but mostly used by massive boost road car nutters you have there.
