  1. This rates a full size garage poster of an ensemble of this collection of "pairing" images!
  2. This one's got the looks, the motor, the pedigree. Never going to see one in the US, but anyone know anything about the Moto Morini Sport 1200?
  3. Evidently, we have two Husky dealers in this state, both a couple hours away, both with limited inventory. Several of us wandered around the new "power sports" dealer in my small town. A sea of quad-things, Suzies, Kawis, and about fifty KTM. All of the full size ADV bikes seem so unwieldy to me. Word is that there will be a 790 Adventure in the not-too-distant future.
  4. Tell, ya what, though, that RedFrame Sport sounds sweet!
  5. Yeah, cool you found that. I couldn't get it to "display", so I've hosted it on ImgZeit:
  6. I looked back at the 1999-2001 parts diagram, and no "check valve" ball. Tinus89, how about a brief video of how she runs and idles without this thing? Photos of what you found and where? Are we thinking it was fitted between the [metal] "breather pipe" #14 and the [rubber] "breather pipe" #18?
  7. Compare to Tinus89's audio/videos? http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19627&p=224844
  8. oooooh, "tower-S-" . . . http://www.rottweilerperformance.com/blog/second-time-around-ride-must-go-on-701-rally-build-rottweiler-performance/
  9. This Husky701 is the bike V7cafe keeps talking up . . . In SuperMoto form. (um, define "rally tower" . . .)
  10. It is truly amazing you guys got in and out ahead of this tropical system. I went to ten Barber VinFests. Yeah, sometimes it rained, sometimes it stormed, sometimes hot, at times cold, but first full-on tropical storm as i recall. Good on ya for doing this! Thanks for sharing with us!
  11. Yeah, well, that's what the zinc chromate is all about? (like protecting carbon fiber with a clear coat?) Interestingly, the V11 Tenni is a fabulous representation of both the 'oxidized" aluminum tank and the best of the zinc chromate fairing; the number plates. Just nailed it (IMO). But a raw alloy tank on a V11?
  12. I tried to solve this little problem, as any conscientious *moderator* would, but the search engine seems to misfire on "leopard" . . .
  13. I dunno, "Big Block" can mean more than one thing.
  14. You know, I really tried to pursue a better understanding of fuel and how it affects our tanks and our tuning. Please chime in about your local fuel around the world: http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19682&hl=%2Bunderstanding+%2Bfuel
  15. An unprecedented appeal from the peanut gallery for more images of the same photo shoot . . . . . . . are those Accel plug wires?
  16. I'm waiting for "the other shoe to drop" on the travel logistics . . .
  17. I dunno, I keep looking and get so confused by two pair of footpegs on the same side of the same bike . . .
  18. Looks to be plumbed the same as our V11, although, I can't tell that it is a wide sump motor? Other views? (For purely technical purposes! )
  19. That's a niiiice alternator cover, that is. Yep.
  20. It really is a marvelous festival. Every imaginable motorcycle, new and old. Fabulous diversity of brands and styles. The vintage racing in a constant roar in the background. Open paddock. Just so much genuine enthusiasm. When the "Food Trucks" showed up a couple years ago, the fare improved immeasurably. Really pathetic beer is still really expensive and hard to come by on the grounds. Still, late on a Saturday afternoon, there is no better place to be than Ace Corner with the Café crowd overlooking the last two turns on the track with a cold PBR in hand . . .
  21. docc

    Footpegs

    Ducati Monster?
  22. Haha, yes. Some things do not stay "fixed."
  23. Will the winning bidder please (Oh, please!) bring this to the next South'n Spine Raid! http://www.ebay.com/itm/222660427662?ul_noapp=true
  24. Oh! Y'all have arrived! Bravo! Yep, "There Will Be Nate."
