    9.4 V cafe classic rumors

    in 24/7 V11

    Posted

    My better half would buy one in a minute! Just waiting for the V7 Cafe sport to come in to the UK (June I'm told) But for her not me. Dimitri, I'm planning a trip next May / June which will (hopefully) go through Thessaloniki, going to Istanbul first then back through Greece to Italy then home. Still in a quandry over which bike to take though, the V11 is leading at the moment but my Triumph does 50+ to the gallon so still undecided.

    This is offtopic, but I will write here and not a pm. Ride til Constantinople with your V11, since from your writing I can understand that the V11 is a matter of "love" and your current triumph, a matter of economics..

    DON'T NEGLECT to communicate with me, as you pass through Macedonia. Thessaloniki has a nice port and we could drink a cup of coffee, or a bottle of Beer. I will send you my mobile in a pm.

    Where is the TPS page?

    in Technical Topics

    Posted

    Hi!,

     

    In the sticky "TPS procedure" I used to remember that on page 9 was the final version of TPS adjustment with pics! Now, with this mode, it is too difficult to find that, now that I need to read it again... :o I started opening every single reply...but it is too tiring....can anyone please help and give me the exact link? :nerd:

    I sometimes have dark thoughts....

    Just took her out for a (very cold) ride. Too much fun for me to sell her- she is a cracking little bike with so much character and plenty of poke.

     

    She stays and I will keep her roadworthy.

    have you kept the fering pieces? (in case you would like to mount these in the future)

    I kinda agree, altho you cannot rule out Kurt Cobain (and the huge impact Nirvana/ grunge) had on the early 90's music scene), Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr Bungle,...) and Al Jourgensen

    (Ministry, Revolting Cocks).

    Chris Cornell! What a throat!

    Nirvana! The band that made grunge known to the many. Nevermind is a golden one! In Utero, for me was THE epitomy of what was called Grunge. Imagine the music we would still hear if Kurt was alive! What a pitty...

    Also another excellent band and one of my favourites were Screaming Trees. Mark Lanegan with his "dark" "bluesy" voice and the Conner brothers with their post-modern-reconstruction of garage-grunge-psychedelic guitar and bass playing (with plenty of Wah-Wah dirty pedals), together with an amazing drum player (Barrett Martin and Mark Pickerel in early years) wrote music that when you hear it you just want to lay down on the beach, under the hot sun, drinking cold beer, smoking a tasty cigarette (dried)...

    Thank you for your replies and suggestions.

    I finally accepted the parcel. I just forced myself to be persuaded that I lost about 150 Euros from my pocket...

    Clipons are on its way from Athens airport.

    OHLINS arrived just 1 day after dispatch from the Netherlands!! The forks are still in the courrier shop, waiting for me to get pack to Thessaloniki.

    The MilleRSV front fender is also in the post waiting for me...

    The "V11 LeMans-naked furious bike" project is...evolving...

    Woodcraft clip ons problem

    Hi,

     

    I had ordered a set of Woodcraft clipons and paid 250 dollars, about 160-170 Euros including shipping.

    Today they called me from custom and they asked me to pay 150 Euros (almost the price again)!! The shipping company is the UPS.

    I have received also other parts from USA, with national and I had never paid so much!!

    What can I do,

     

    can I sent it back to USA and ask them to send it with International company?

    Can I buy woodcraft from Europe?

     

    Thank you
