Ginger Baker.. drummer with Cream. Baker, Clapton and Jack Bruce. Aren't they doing a reunion at the Royal Albert Hall ?

Here are a couple of shots... in the side shot you'll see a coupler hanging out of the tail for a battery tender., Cheers, Tim

He's one of us !! Whart.. I've got the FBF kit on my bike.. I think it looks great, but I've got my doubts about the daytime brightness of the taillight.. I wish it was a bit brighter. Lemme know if you want me to post a photo. Cheers, Tim

JRT that explains the ointment comment in your aerostitch post, Cover Boy !

When I was setting up to do my Coast to Coast last january, I bought a Chatterbox system. My thinking was that I could hook up my iPod and also have the ability to talk with other riders on future rides. I didn't end up using it. I found the speaker placement in the helmet a bit difficult to get comfortable. The unit itself seems to work just fine, and the device can me mounted to the helmet or on the tank bag with an extension cord. So its sitting in a box. If anyone wants to buy a slightly used Chatterbox system, PM me. I'm returning to the classic way of communicating with passengers -- nods, yells, hand signals.......and if they're really cute women, the odd grope and squeeze ! Woo Hoo !! Cheers, Tim

I dig it.. I always have two bikes and change one of them every two years.. c'mon boys, welcome him proper. Tx. show him that photo of yer bad self.!! and yes, I mean "that" photo

Hey Hal Welcome to the bright side !! I look forward to riding with y'all on the V11s Cheers, Tim

I rode the Skyline road up to Alice's for the first time yesterday. Rode with a neighbor on his S4 (very nicely modified) and his buddy on a early 90's 900SS with a sweet sounding Staintune exhaust system. What a great road, and although we kept the speed within reason, there were no cops. We rode early in the morning, so I was back home by 11:00. As we were leaving Alice's the chrome framed GSX's were showing up... radar fodder all of them !!! I'll be handling visiting relatives all week, so no riding this coming weekend, but pretty clear after that if we want to do the Death Valley thing... Cheers, Tim

Death Valley ? I think so. Leave Sat morning, go to Vegas via the secondary highways.. Get into mischief and debt on Sat night in Vegas. Wake up very early Sunday morning, ride through Death Valley as the sun comes up. Ride home

Hey Mike I'm off for a quick ride this am. Alice's and back. Leaving at 7:15 w/ a neighbor on his Duc. But I would really be interested in the Death Valley ride. Cheers, Tim

shoot me a note if y'all are riding tomorrow (Sunday) Hope the dog is ok !

When I recently re-did my insurance, the new company asked if there were modifications greater than $1000 on the bike.. I fit under the level. I guess insurance companies here are looking for those modifications from a replacement value perspective.. Not sure that they look to raise the rates because the modification indicate you're a fast rider and/or that the bike is now faster because of the modifications. Other thoughts?

while I'm stuck in the office, my friend took the Tuono for a ride and snapped some nice photos.. Arrghh..

well, not meaning to hijack this thread into a relay discussion but..... I've had a very intermittant problem where I've got full electrics and fully charged battery and all I get is a click when I push the starter. As a result I've bump started the V11 about 12 times over the last 2 months.. Then magically it will electric start the next day.. Dunno about frying the computer, it runs fine. However I will give you this very strong warning. When bump starting if you plan on sitting down hard on the seat as you release the clutch for added rear grip, please make sure your ass hits the padded seat and not the extremely rigid cowl. Failure to do so results in a bruised tailbone, which is not a very pleasant experience. Trust me..

a Fat Boy?

Hey congrats Jim.. looks awesome.!! Tim

Al.. drop over to the east bay and you can do the comparison with mine !!

Neptune.... www.neptune.co.nz

Looks like a Baker engine in a Beardmore Precision... hmmmm...

cool !! Now we can get some of that famed Fiat and Alpha reliability and dealer support for our Guzzis !!

The model's name is Tiffany. I'm guessing 1980's vintage. I suspect she's powered by men with large bank accounts.

what? no silly hat? I thought employees (er.. forum members) of the month had to wear silly hats !

ya.. kinda looks like a cross between a Calthorpe and an Ardie.. Can we go back to looking at pictures of women?????

Rokon ??

hats off to Dan.. anyone who can mix Zappa, hockey, PETA, and ribs deserves a round of applause. Mix in a little recreational pharmacueticals and you've got Fear and Loathing on the hockey trail !
