KINDOY2

I do not have a 2002 bike with a single clutch assy anymore...of the 3 2002 I had, 2 Scuras and one Mandello..one had 25,000 mi on it when i sold it 4 years ago and now has over 35,000 miles on it is still working fine for the current owner.., The other 2002 had 18,000 miles on it when I rebuilt the entire bike including complete tear down of the motor to powdercoat the cases, it did not have any cracks but I put a different clutch in it anyway since it was all apart, the third had less than 10,000 which I bought crashed and I still have the motor here with original flywheel..it is not cracked. Approximately what year's was it when these 2 previous incidents were posted? I have looked extensively ..both here and in Italy over the past few years and did not run across these. Thanks

I totally agree with the great value of "reliable sources with testimonials based on facts which they presented . I would love to know where you have read this? And/or who these sources are, or exactly what facts they presented which convinced you so strongly. I then could do my own deductive reasoning and draw my on conclusion. This type of thinking is of course based on my own time at an excellent University ...

Do you know anyone yourself or have you seen one in personn? a single plate clutch "Blown up"? There was one photo of one several years ago that failed..although I have never read a personal account about it..The phot has been beaten to death over and over for 10 years or more on the internet but I have yet to see one that "blew up" or to meet anyone on any of the forums who had one "blow up" them selves..I've owned 3 2002 V-11's 2-Scura's and a Rosso Mandello. with them..none blew up...So yes..I'd like to see some "Solid" information too.

Unfortunately..As Scud eluded to...although they are beautiful...the 2002 will have bubbling engine and transmission paint..if not now ( It looks like it does) ..eventually..( ask me how I know). 2002's all get it..and like I once heard someone say. " It is like a beautiful woman with a big wart on her nose..you can't see beyond it.

It's an awesome bike, The most rare and sought after of all the V-11's in my eyes..Even more difficult to find than the Rosso Corsa. I love that Black..and with all the tasteful little touches you always do to your bike..ie; Gauges,Powder coating, etc, and that un-obtainable Exhaust system..along with your attention to detail..it is a prize find. A number of years ago my first V-11..of the Seven I have owned , was your old Greenie which you went thru...An awesome bike that got me hooked on MG Someone will get a Winner!!!

FLASHBACK to Vale and MM...Wherever MM goes..trouble follows..its his style. I could see this coming and it will happen again..unfortunately.

Yeah..195-200mph down the straights and then knee to knee into the corner....I agree..We can't imagine...thats 60 miles per hour faster than I have ever ridden a bike, and that was for 5 minutes here and there on the straights..not for an hour on..straights/corners and drop off hills with a bloke on my ass.

I couldn't be happier to have sold it to anyone else ..she is a sweetheart ( the 2 timing little floozie)

I believe his WTB ad was 3 years ago and he found one...

Aren't those the same girls who weren't there last year?

My wife and I were at this show in Oakland 2012.at the Paramount theater .front row..It was really really good..Drew Zing..the lead guitar player..( many Steely Dan songs) was fantastic..imo

I'm good Pete...Thanks. Nah..nothing ominous!
