the pipes on the greenie look like they have a lower angle than normal

A couple pics of some Moto Guzzi from last weekend IMOC rally. Only saw a few V11's, lots of Norge, Brevas, V85TTs

Im not seeing it listed on their website yet

I really like the coppa italia color scheme

Just noticed the listed specs, range of ~85 miles, and a price of ~20,000 USD, not really even usable for my commute to work without a charge.

tom cruise doesn't look like tom cruise to me any more ... but he is most definitely capable of doing his own amazing stunts.

my lower bolt was somewhat loose, makes me want to spend some quality time torquing all the little fasteners everywhere on the bike

... its for fly fishing ...

that's about my average for slow/no speed tip overs so far lol

here is mine after adding new grips, bar end weights, the rizoma mirrors and reinstalling the stock airbox and side panels

I put a zip tie on my right fork and after commuting to work and home again, ~ 50 miles, its about 42 mm from the bottom. Both still feel dry.

I bought a Seal Doctor at RevZilla. After commute to work this morning, my left fork does not appear to be weeping, so fingers crossed. I did bite on the Ali seals. I may or may not use them, but for $5 bucks for two seals and covers, with free shipping from mainland China, worth further evaluation. I share Phil's skepticism. Will be interested in hearing how well LaGrasta's set works out.

found this video over the weekend - its a bit long but goes thru the entire process on forks similar to V11

On the ride home yesterday, I noticed my left front fork appears to be weeping a little bit. Right one seems ok. I've read thru some of the various threads about forks and will dig around for some 35mm film and see if I can reseat existing seal and get thru the season. Looking for a tutorial or something that outlines the steps to replace the seals, what seals to buy, and any special tools needed, etc. Will look thru the manual later tonight.

At the office, the shop radio plays the same 100 +/- songs every single day. My office is unfortunately upstairs near one of the speakers and so I wear noise cancelling head phones when I'm there. This situation has caused me to really dislike the 2 or 3 old Bill Joel and Phil Collins songs that get played over and over again day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, in particular, Piano Man. The Guzzi connection has redeemed him somewhat in my mind but I still hate the songs.
