Getting the throttle bodies loosened is the hardest part. I'm afraid of breaking the mounts. Hence I have new ones but have procrastinated this procedure.
-
And a collective sigh of relief was made by all...

Just kidding; in the garage where it belongs. ð

Now if I can find the vaseline...; oh yeah: under the bed!ð ðĪŠ

I'd love to see a "modern retro" Disco Volante in say 400cc and 15k rpm for under $ 12,000..... ah the stuff of dreams...
-
Once I looked "everywhere" for 15-20 minutes only to find the damn thing in the seat release lock. Fortunately for me nobody saw my little breakdown.

Mostly Richard Thompson and Frank Zappa, but anything with Rhiannon Giddens and Hubby Jenkins lights me up well...
-
And a couple good hammers...ð

I would love to see a picture of this hack. I'm going to start crimping and cleaning soon, but I'd love to have an emergency buffer....
-
+1 on the valve adjustment tool. I bought one as soon as I saw it. Makes "getting the feel" much easier. Fortunately for me my hammers are left-handed...

And a good hammer....ð

Also in Indiana, my black frame burgundy is a "Rosso". I guess I'm in rarified air.....

I've always had good luck with the star-tron, but other things happen; like last night I got the dreaded weak buzz click at the relays. Time to clean and check connections and grounds. If I didn't like the bike so much I would have lost patience with it by now.

Topped off the tank, added star-tron, rode to work, rode about 15 miles after, and wondered if this was the last time this season...

...and I was hoping that this post was going to be about a newly discovered anatomical oddity la-la Scaramanga...how's that for obscure references?

Moto Guzzi V100 Sport Tourer: water cooled, 120 HP (26th of August 2021)

Maybe rig a wing and vent on the rear cowl of the V11 as a combination drive brake and relay cooler?ð -
My "sedate" black frame burgundy has the vibey clip-on's , and I even crank up the steering damper at higher freeway speeds. I guess I'm becoming the old fart "poser" ( until I get to roads I know)...ð
-
New fresh gas, star-tron, rode to work and back.
-
I keep thinking about the old Brit bikes with the voltmeter built into the headlight cone...

What do you call your V11S?...

My burgundy black frame is "Cracklin' Rose" from a wonderful encounter with a beautiful woman, hearing that song, and the noises she makes ( the bike that is) when cooling down... -
I was thinking that perhaps the Guzzi singles were inspired by WW1 aircraft engines (Anzani,etc.),and the trend evolved into more cylinders... Just a thought.

My '02-3 is a work in progress, but I remember the oil light briefly coming on, so I'm in if it is possible.
