I love the babelfish translation: To the sales a special production made of high-grade steel with butterfly of Dynotec stands. The elbow unions were installed at a Moto Guzzi V11 Scura. The pipe diameter amounts to in front 43mm, in the back 50mm. In the two elbow unions is in each case a connection for Lambdasonden. The plant consists only of the parts, which are to be seen in the photo, without flanges, it is therefore not so easily to be installed. With something fate one can weld that surely suitably, screws themselves or otherwise which. Without clips or similar mounting material, therefore here starting from 1? for amateur handicraftsmen and Tueftler; -).

Wow. That's dumb.

Did anyone ever cut a board too short in wood shop and get sent out by the instructor to find the board stretcher? Classic.

Thanks Those things were loud! No packing in them whatsoever. They had an obnoxious "crack" sound. They were even louder after these vids were shot, when I replaced the stock crossover. I'm sure my neighbors hated me. Now I have a set of Mistrals, and I think my neighbors still hate me, but maybe a little less...

Ahh, what a sweet sound indeed. Here's a few of DirtyBird with its old chopped stock mufflers (turn the volume & bass up!):

Strip Solitaire.

Or switch to a Mac or Linux

We're so excited to see how it turns out that we just can't say anything

The Stucci is slightly lighter than stock, but not much. While you're not saving much weight, the improvement in power is well worth it. Plus, it comes with a bung for an oxygen sensor...

My recent experience with them was horrible. I'd strongly recommend you cancel the order for the crossover. Mine cracked. Greg Field's cracked, and a couple other people's have cracked, all due to improper welding. They sent me a new one, and told me they had inspected the welds before sending it (and shipped it one week after they said they would). I checked out the new one and the welds were just as bad as the first one. I sent it back and they refunded me. Bought a Stucci to replace it. The crossover lacks a hanger which can cause unnecessary strain on the head pipes and may have caused cracking on them as well. Just my

I'd mount the gun backwards to deter tailgating

Jeebus Greg, that looks like blood! You drill in to yer finger there?

Aww, why'd you have to do that??? Many years ago I had a sweet, loving, gentle Malamute named Kodiak. Dumb as a box of wet hair. As brave as, well, nothing. Biggest chickenshit dog I'd ever met (I say this with love.) I rescued him from a jackass who wanted to use him as a sled dog, but Kodi wasn't a "team player", so he wasn't treated well. The jackass had his voice box removed because he "barked too much" and beat the metric crap out of him because he wouldn't pull like the others. He was in bad shape when I got him, but I made sure he was loved, happy and well fed. Had to put him down six months later. His hips were really bad and he was in too much pain, and being in college I couldn't afford heroic surgery for him. To this day I regret not being able to save him, but at least he was happy when he went... Ferguzzi, Kody looks happy and wonderful. Take good care of him Sorry, I'm a bit misty-eyed now. As for my avatar, nothing serious.

Yeah, sorry about that. I was having a geek moment.

It's a good possibility I snagged one of these mugs from you. Unfortunately, none of these people are me. I'm far too ugly to have my face shown on the internets. Be my guest!

Tire pressures from the manual: Front wheel: 1 up: 2,3 BAR (~34psi.); 2 up: 2,4 BAR (~35psi.); Rear wheel: 1 up: 2,5 BAR (~35psi.); 2 up: 2,6 BAR. (~37psi.); HTML Version of V11 Manual Circa 2000 (Thanks Callison!)

Not lame at all! Actually the 10000 in the sign is in binary, so it's really 16 bikes. Now THAT was lame...

When we hit deer, we're never as lucky as this guy

I wish...

Thanks, we sure got some weird looks from the locals while searching for "just the right tumbleweed" (insert Dueling Banjos theme here)

Yeah they do. I'm using what is hopefully a UV stable clear gelcoat on the outer layer and surfboard resin for laminating the carbon cloth. Even with this protection the sun will break the resin/gelcoat down with time, hopefully more slowly. My bike is always parked indoors (home/work). If I had to park my bike outside all the time, I probably wouldn't be doing this. I don't think I'd ever own carbon wrapped mufflers though. IMHO that's just too much heat for resin to handle over time.

I think the goo they sprayed on the tail section to make it matte was crap. It peeled off like a bad sunburn in random spots. Mine wasn't even exposed to that much sun. I tried to take the stuff off carefully but couldn't find a (chemical) stripper that worked right. Went all the way through the paint. Oh well. I should have my tail section mold done in a month or so and I'll have a shiny new CF tail.

The SXV seat is not comfy for sure. I think it's designed to re-split your crack if your cheeks have started to join together Price-wise they're a steal for what you get. I think this bike is #2 on the 'gotta have it' list. #1 is a pair of BMW F650's for me and Mrs. Slug. I showed her the advrider.com site and she's really liking the idea of dirt rides, camping, scenery and all that. All we need is money.

This year we decided not to use our usual fake x-mas tree. Instead we picked up a tumbleweed on the way home from Thanksgiving at Noelle's (Mrs. Slug) parents. So here it is in all its glory:

Thanks! My bike started out as a green '02-'03 Sport Naked. My tank was scratched up pretty bad and Moto International had this Rosso Mandello tank for cheap (has an itty-bitty scratch on the left side). Once I finish making the tank pad mold and get the original tank repainted green I might sell this tank. No, I couldn't keep the front wheel down. For a second I was thinking "why isn't this thing steering????" I don't have much experience on dirt-style bikes and it really scared me (partly 'cause it wasn't my bike) and I actually cut the ride short. Maybe I can try it again when it's dry...
