I solved the problem by bringing this home,
I still need to get a seat re-build AND a backrest.. any of you have one of those Jardine AM rests for sale?
I WANT ONE

thats funny, it brings you back to this website with a discussion from 2006, lol
I'd just like a highway peg kit so I can move my feet around, granted its only a few inches fwd but it would help with discomfort and you still don't touch the jugs, I'd also like a sheepskin I think

MY GOD, I'm charging WAY too low for my bike, $5500 is a fn STEAL
-
seriously, get a Convert! you wouldn't even need a clutch lever.
but keep the V11 for FUN!
looks like a SP 1000 but this in my EV powered Convert.
now if it wasn't spewing oil that would be a bike I'd want to trade ya for
sweet ride

I KNOW I used to have an account over there and even posted once or twice a long ass time ago, appears they did a board pruning and it was deleted for inactivity is my guess, NOW when I go to reregister there are 3 questions "to keep out spammers" your registration request has to be approved THEN you have to send an email to lupo telling him your intent before you are really approved, I sent him an email along the lines of, "are there really that many spammers, who are you really trying to keep out?" seriously wtf is the deal over there?

I say go for it!!!! maybe just the eagle?
here is mine, maybe you can guess what its related to
ALL I will say is how big you THINK you want it, DOUBLE IT, because once its on your skin its forever and looks smaller than on paper, I'm glad I made mine bigger but kinda wish I went a little bigger than it is even, I think it looks good and love it, f all the haters

hey, it's his bike and he can do what he wants with it, if someone else buys it then it has value too. I kinda like it in a MadMax way and I could ride pavement w/it, do it all the time on my KLR and Honda's but what a hoot it would be at the hill climb.
I agree, a bit heavy the NO WAY could that suspension handle off road, but with new forks some other small tweaks could be a decent logging road bike, why not?

I never went to there, well I can't lie I think I have one or two posts but it wasn't my cup of tea to begin with, seems to be a common problem on all forums but acutely guzzi ones, too many learned individuals with strong opinions and possibly too much time on their hands.

I would contribute but I have about as much artistic talent as a bubble gum wrapper

Flood?
from the 2007 US National Guzzi rally...
glad I missed THAT one

Icelandic women are super fn hot tho, wish I was stranded on the island with them, well, as long as they don't talk because its also one of the ugliest languages

You could throw a suitcase full of money and get a Can Am Spyder. Those look like they might be fun.
But anyhow- don't be embarrassed - at least you are still out there riding. Lot's of folks would have just binned it.
suitcase of money is right, holy jesus are they expensive, cool looking but I wonder how well they actually handle?

I REALLY like the mp3 500
if it wasn't a god damn scooter or if I was in college I'd get one, definitely what I'll be driving around the old folks community when I retire, well something like it thats still a good 40 years away for me

I've been pulled over 3 times, twice on the V11 and once on the RSVR, one for not coming to a full stop at a light for a right turn, one for tabs and the last for speeding on the Aprilia, all three times I've gotten off with a warning and a remark like "cool bike" The tabs I just forgot to put on after I got her all setup on the first nice day but he could see in the computer I did pay for them, speeding was 5am on my way to work and he could tell so said to be sure to slow it down on that stretch of road they're always waiting(big speed trap I guess) and the no stop on red I wanted to get into a busy almost highway like road from a side street and I saw the gap and took it, too bad the set of headlights coming was a cop, but I tell you its hard to get a ticket on a nice bike
-
If you're thinking about a cruiser look for a Valkyrie. Maybe the best riding position of any cruiser. Not as much leg room as a dual-sport like a GS but still has your feet under you rather than out front. Surprising handling for a heavy weight and a great motor.
cool you suggest that, I REALLY like them too, looked into a Valkyrie also, would definitely get one of those, all good options and ideas here.
-
You're a big fellow, right? If you don't need speed, think about an older ('70s) Bimmer or Loopframe. I love the comfort of those bikes and the styling pegs the cool-o-meter. Of course, they don't go as fast as the young whippersnappers, but you'll be grinning as you putt along at 60 and they pull the bugs out of their teeth....
Oh, they are pretty reasonable ($) too.
not a bad idea, not worried about speed at all, just want creature comforts, aprilia goes faster than I EVER need to go, don't need to rip across town, I want a putter

You know, I bought my Cali Aluminum under the thought process that I needed a cruiser type bike. And after adding a fly screen and a good set of rear shocks, it's pretty damn good. But I really think the cruiser/comfort thing is overrated. My Tenni is just as comfortable on the road without tiring my back, and the wind blast gets tiring on the Cali after awhile. So now the Cali gets used for two-up riding and grocery/hardware store runs 'cause of the extra storage.
TRUE but you have a tenni, the Sport is just me in the wind, would really like a windscreen and some storage with a relaxed ride, not too relaxed though I do get that as hard on my back I did have a suzuki marauder 800 cruiser before I got the V11 and it was murder on my tailbone after about already listed 1/2 hour, The aprilia has been the better touring bike with the full fairing and funny it also has roomier accommodations for me, the one hardley I do like a lot is the street bob with its close pegs and controls under the rider, can't get something like that this year or even the BMW anything I think if something happens I'll just pay off bills and keep to one bike till next year. IF anything happens.

Just thought you guys may like to see a MGS01 in action down here - the guys name is Mike Coates - really good to see a rare bike being stuck up under Ducatis at every chance !
seem like they pull away more out of the corners than the straights, he'll only get better and better
-
Or if you like the riding position of Dual Sports how about a Stelvio? Got the importer's lad bringing the new NTX press demonstrator up here tomorrow. I can report back if you like??
Pete
I would like, I would like, too bad I can't afford a 15, or is it 17k bike right now, little tight paying for the new car and aprilia. I do REALLY like the looks and idea of the stelvio NTX though, a lot.
if that powerball ticket pays off I'd definitely pay inflated prices just to get my hands on one. -
Man up and buy an Eldorado.
what about a Cali vintage?
-
LOL, I found my Denny Hecker Auto Connection t shirt going through some old clothes from a fan jam like 9 years ago, the shirt is shot but I should cut out the logo on the chest and frame it for the garage. lol
-
thats why I like the breva,Ulysses, 1150r and even the k1200gs, sad but true one of my favs, with the right pegs and defiantly a windscreen I think a cruiser can fit good too.
funny I got offered a 07 SeaDoo for it with 17hrs on it, I said no deal. lame.
