  1. Crazy thoughts are why we're all here.
  2. Sending them a report that they are showing a Sport instead of a Naked. Nice site Butt everyone has a big butt - Pee Wee Herman I have short shanks call it the Gorilla Build that works for a Construction Laborer so the leg angle is really off. 30 years ago I found out if I had normal shanks I'd be 4 inches taller --- just call me "stumpy" Also I see the site has some errors. By the site my V11 his 2" higher in seating than my Griso 1100 where I know the opposite is true. Mark They warn that the seating height is "contentious". Also there are settings so you can adjust the leg height (inseam) for the more simian-like.

  4. I think that's my problem... and not the bearings.

  6. What happened here? It looks like bubbling paint?
  7. I was too busy looking at the Lemans to see the other Lemans.
  8. I thought I read that you can get the spring in both dimensions, one to fit the correct boss and one to fit the incorrect boss?
  9. I thought the pawl spring issue was due to any incorrect boss or something?
  10. He use to MX a Ducati 450RT. Plus he's more familiar with the 860GT I have. He thought it sounded different but he's use to singles. There are still a couple operating ferries around here. Here's a video of the other one, I apologize for the heavy Norton content. https://youtu.be/F34vIVIvr1Q Ferry is around the 3 minute mark if Nortons and Vincents bore you.

  11. At one point I was watching some skydivers come down but they were too small with the wide angle lens to see on screen. It was still pretty cool. The old lady in the Cobra was wrapped up like a mummy. Didn't want anything to do with the wind and sun. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. I have an external microphone but I always forget to use it. Maybe one day. I had to deliver something to my uncle so I took the scenic route, as in I took a couple turns and got lost. You'll see what I found. I'm bummed because at one point I watch three skydivers descending but they were too small in the frame to see. I'm not sure why I get rather poor gas mileage, I suspect it's due to too many trips to the 7K+ neighborhood on the tach...
  13. So do the ratings on the 15W-50 scare anyone?
  14. I still don't know how they can sell the 5qt jugs so cheap. If you buy them one qt at a time it's at least $6/ea. 15W-50 is pretty close to 10W-60 that the later bikes "require" and I can't remember what the early V11s spec'd. There's an oil thread on WG but I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot... horse drainer...
  15. I haven't seen an oil thread in a while. In an effort to stir the pot here I go. I was at Walmart today and I decided to check out the Mobil 1 selection. Exhibit A: IMG_2265 by swooshdave, on Flickr 5 quarts of automotive grade 15W-50. It says it has extra zinc which is more important for older engines. $22 Exhibit B: IMG_2266 by swooshdave, on Flickr 1 qt of Mobil 1 4 stroke "racing" oil. $10 Exhibit C: IMG_2267 by swooshdave, on Flickr 1 qt of Mobil 1 V-twin oil. Good if your oil is shared with the clutch and tranny. Neither apply with the V11. $10 Considering the auto oil is a fraction the cost of the motorcycle oil it's tempting. Fully synthetic, added zinc and about the right weight. Most of you are too old to know what a /r/roast me is but I'm ready for your worst. Go!
  16. I've been to that turn off many times. Unfortunately, not *that* time. She seems a little reluctant to sit down on that sandy seat . . . Have you ever sat on a black vinyl seat that was out in the sun? You could burn some very sensitive areas!
  17. Question: What does this fix and does a 2001 need it?

  19. Could never hurt to ask MG Cycle, is that where you got it from?

    https://www.stahlbus-us.com/oil-drain-valve/oil-drain-valve/stahlbus-oil-drain-valve-m16x15x12mm-steel-set.html Are Guzzi owners too cheap for something like this? Or why bother if you are going to drop the ^%^&&** pan to get to the filter anyways?
  21. Link to Craigslist always helps.
  22. You do realize that you will be required to post pictures during your trip or face being kicked off the forum. At least that what they told me when I joined...
