When a failure happens close to home or a glorious perfectly executed event happens; yes the new long awaited Police album is released:"IDIOSYNCRONISITY"! It all happened at the same time! -

billgreenman1 replied to p6x's topic in Newer models
I guess I'm getting old enough to just keep my stuff and not buy anything new. I'll vote my conscience, but I'm tilting towards letting the "Utes" make their own dystopian future with me stock piling relays and spark plugs and filters and, and, and, and..... -

Yeah that's a unique color. I once tried to get some pieces of a former BMW painted the 1950s Norton "polychromatic grey" and gave up, but that was 25 years ago...

I usually go by feel unless it seems like something important. Then when I have to get it apart the next time I invariably say to myself "what!@%&ing monster tightened this?" Haven't stripped or broken anything for about 10 years though....

ANSWERED 100 Years: Guzzi Documentary (English)...
billgreenman1 replied to VtwinStorm's topic in 24/7 V11
It is definitely a blessing to have a a shop with a reputable "Guzzi whisperer". I'm not so sure I'd rely on the V11 as day to day transport and luggage options are also a bit constrained. To each their own though! I still have a 4-wheeled box complete with windshield wipers and a heater, and a BMW r1150r as a daily summer mule. But the V11 stirs the soul differently. I've got the semi rare and slightly goofy stock tank bag and some Ortlieb panniers and have toured, but it is kinda like bungee-ing a milk crate onto a Lamborghini......
