And then "Electric Ladyland"....Mitch Mitchell.....Crosstown Traffic.....

It is Katarzyna Jaskulska, that was a false rumor..She was in a bad accident not long after this shot.., a car went through a stop light and hit her ..but she was not terribly hurt . Professional Stunt rider..She did not die..she is still with us.

Exactly

I'm not talking about "DRAFTING".. I'm talking about chicken shit waiting to go out and targeting specific rider's to annoy...I was around then..., and racing myself.

Can you imagine Roberts( either) Hailwood, Hayden, Sheene, riding like that..waiting around for a Tow so they could make qualifying?...Shameful.

Ride it....

Your clutch sounds great to me, I have had much louder on the multiple v-11's I have owned. including a R. Mandello....in Fact My current Griso's clutch is much louder..You will learn to love the sound...:-) IMO..Don't be concerned , just enjoy the bike..:-)

I gotta take a closer look at that sport the next time we go for a ride...

Just a chuckle from the Lambretta clubs page in Italy...

YAH He and Keith Richards both turned 80 yesterday I believe....deep sigh...lol Bonham really WAS the Shit!

I've done it on all brand's with these tank bubbles..ie: Moto Guzzi, Aprilia, Ducati's..As you mentioned..I use a larger sized needle ( as in leather sewing) pierce the bubbles and then lightly heat with a gun and hold the spot down with my thumb, sometimes you may have to pierce in more than one spot if a big bubble....usually works very well. I had a black Aprilia tank which had 0ver 25 bubbles..when I finished you could barely tell. The thing is..whenever I have done this I also removed the tank for at least a few weeks, ( couple months if possible in thhe off season) washed it out with hot water and dish soap and let it dry out real well..then sometimes In the winter I stuck a hair drier in the top and let it run on low all day. I also usually caswell treat the tank after before installing . The results are very good..the tank is back to original size and the bubbles dont show..I have had some for a couple years after and they never returned. Worth all the trouble imo if its an otherwise nicely painted original tank.

Enjoy life Pete.!!..We will still be seeing you around the forums! Cheers..Or "Ta" as you sometimes say! :-)

Last time we were in Venice ( Italy) My wife and I ran into Billy Gibbons and his wife twice one evening..Just wandering around on the back streets and canals
