    I want my pegs further back, but no relief there.

    Consumer culture. READ the warranty. Ride it the year, THEN mod it. Piaggio would be nuts to warranty bikes that such wankers have twaddled with. It's part of growing up, junior....

    Wouldn't an '03 have the 43mm hollow axle forks and better discs? audiomick, Were it mine, it would be worth a couple of letters or some internet sleuthing to contact the owners, for some PEACE of mind.

    Lacking a crash, the later forks/brakes are actually a decent upgrade. Any way to trace ownership back and speak with the prior owners? That name or names might be in any paperwork which came with the bike.

    It was the legendary shooter Elmer Keith who wrote a book but the title, "Hell, I was THERE!" applies equally to Kevin Cameron.

    Chambers? Cycle World did a podcast a few months ago, picking the jam-packed brain of Kevin Cameron.

    The Sport Naked turned out to be a few late Friday examples where they forgot the fairing on the way out.

    hairy tyres

    A carpenter's "draw knife" is just what you need. It would slice those nubby bits off right quick.

    po18guy replied to audiomick's topic in 24/7 V11

    Even though those are copies of Metzeler, are they known as sticky enough? Is the tire literally covered with these "teats" as some Yanks call them?

    Looks just like the valve covers of an air-cooled VW used for short drives. Allow time to make the full Isle circuit and you should be fine.

    Strange. Several versions are on their 2025 website.

    The FTR is "close" but the proportions seem just a bit off to me. But, like Harley, they have 100 variations of three basic bikes.

    Demographics. Their customer base is graying out. They'll soon need an Electra Glide hearse.

    Will the last Indian standing please make motorcycles?

    DeTomaso was an Angentine. The Guzzi link is becoming rather tenuous. OK, all 351s are two-valve, pushrod 90 Vs - so there is that.
