  1. Don't run with those things, you'll poke your eye out!!!
  2. Shouldn't those have "Goodyear" or something on the sides?
  3. Thanks to those of you that have pointed out errors or donated scans, Wayne Orwig, Stefan Prüßmann and Jan Keijzer. THANKS!!! New: 1980 T3 Europe Corrections: 2000 Bassa 2000 Jackal 2000 Quota 1100 ES 2002 Stone 2008 Stelvio
  4. Sorta beyond great isn't it Ralph? More like behemoth...
  5. Can't say as I find that all that appealing. I've uploaded the image to my original post. Try again.
  6. maybe you're blocked. http://www.chestmeat.com/wp-content/upload...mber-lynn-3.jpg The set runs 1 through 6.
  7. Hey! Is that the Jungle Boat Ride at Disneyland?
  8. 2007 Norge. Mistral+stock silencer, Skidmarx+stock windscreen, Fiamm horns, Gerbing dual heat controller added to fairing. Some minor plastic problems caused by screws departing on the unbelievably rough road I live on. At the moment, just under 20,000 miles. If I had known how much my wife would dislike riding a (semi)touring bike, I would never have bought it. Live and learn I guess. $8100(USD). May consider a trade. You know, MV Augusta F4, Lamborghini Countach, whatever... I'll even throw in the Gerbing stuff, the Bugswatter can't power them anyway. PM me if you're interested.
  9. Does it specify which sensors? I'd go with any sensor except the TPS although even without the TPS the engine would probably idle. That would be a slow trip...
  10. I read somewhere that someone had already taken a close look at the engine construction of the 8 Valve and came to the conclusion that it was pretty close to maxed out for potential as it is. There is room for additional stroking though and we've been hearing rumors of a 1400cc mill for a while now. Considering the anal-retentive management at Piggio and the current economic state of the world, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it.

    Bad news

    Some yahoo at Piggio looked at the sales statistics for the Houston area and came to the erroneous conclusion that the Houston area was a hot market for Guzzis and a second dealer there would further expand sales. Of course, same yahoo completely overlooked the fact that a good dealer with good service and an ability to cut through the warranty crap and make the system work is going to sell bikes. So, MPH winds up getting their market share cut and probably had to take on the warranty repairs of the other dealership as well since the new dealer would be unlikely to have the same sort of knowledge and skills as Mike and Todd. Warranty work is a money losing portion of the business and to have your sales cut but warranty work increase is a death knell for a low margin endeavor like selling Moto Guzzis. I bought my Norge from MPH, I don't know who or where my future service will be at but I should probably count myself as lucky that my bike is no longer under warranty thus giving me the choice where to spend my service dollars. It's a bit of a haul to MPH (500 miles) but I have a brother near there, so I've combined the trip in the past and likely will again.
  12. Just in case it does need pushing, where do you grab it?
  13. Marabese Design for the original V11 LeMans. The bike is gone but I still have all of these strange parts. If you wanted to know what a V11 Sport looks like with an early Daytona fairing - here you go.
  14. I've only seen one V11 LeMans in the 3.5 years I've been in Oklahoma. HD's on the other hand...
  15. With computer analysis the paint color can be reproduced exactly. I'm less certain that all of the red Sport 1100i's were identical in color.
  16. Pete, what kind of boat? You ought to get one of these. 527 produced from 1976 to 1981. Rare and unusual, they're kind of like a Guzzi.
  17. Good Lord! You can hear my sneezes all the way out there in Washington!

  19. Nitro? Not the blue pills? Nah. Besides, this is an instructional photo for evaluating the effectiveness of the plastic surgeons involved. I'd say that the results are mixed. At least 3 or 4 of the girls look to be natural. Would I care if I was standing in the midst of them? Nope. Not a whit. Would my wife mind if I was standing their midst? You betcha.
