    OT

    This I like The men's room at "Joe Farelli's italian-american kitchen" in Gothenburg (Göteborg)
  2. Yes, about 30% AFAIK Not so much as I initially thought. The main crux is that alcohols contains oxygen and thereby is leaning out the mixture. Properely set up mixing one should in fact get more power from the same engine from alcohol than petrol. Dragracers use ethanol and methanol for good reasons. Still, I am happy with about the same power. In my car I noticed no mentionable powerloss after the ECU had adapted itself to E85. Thanks, I am thinking of selling the BSA to get me focused enough to pull this one off before next riding season
  3. Cheers, Cliff, some good input as always. Perhaps going with one size larger injectors would do the trick, but do I think they are too expensive if I can find used ones. OK, but I have to pay the swedish fuel prices. Besides I have no trouble with the middleeast, much of our oil comes from Norway anyway But we are running out of global oil reserves fast, and since I like to tinker why not lead the way instead of a follower. Ethanol is the best bet to keep our V11 running in the future.
  4. No wheels, skis! I said 90%, there is always a 10% faction to join
  5. 90% of the americanos, if they just can fit some really ugly american foot pegs to it will be purrfect
  6. Of course not, I was thinking more about having access to more adjustability with Cliff's box. I know an adjustable pressure adjuster for about 70 euros, ( Malpassi AIR001/AIR004) It would requires some modification to the fuel system since it does fit the current mounting and I have to check the dimension, it can be a bit large. even available with a pressure clock
  7. or adjust the pressure adjuster. This is what the service manual says: nothing about how to adjust the pressure .... Maybe I need My15M from Cliff and a 02-sensor to get this done properly?
  8. Winter is here and with the snow modification season In Sweden we have a cheaper, more environmental friendly fuel called E85. It is 85% ethanol and 15% petrol. I used it in my car, currently 2/3 E85 and 1/3 petrol because of starting issue with pure E85 in cold weather. In summertime I tried running on pure E85 with good result. My car is an BMW 1994 with M50 engine. It has a very adaptive ECU and large dimension fuel pump and injectors. Most other cars needs to raise the fuel pressure into the injectors since with E85 it requires about 30% more fuel injected than with petrol. I am pondering running my V11 on E85 next summer, but I not really sure how to go about it. Do you think I can get enough throughput from the injectors for 30+% more fuel? Is it possible to get that kind of adjustment using my PCIII? Otherwise, can I manipulate the fuel pump/pressure adjuster to raise the fuel pressure? Is the fuel pump capable of handling the additional load?
  9. Suddenly, Norge looks really really good!
  10. I like Suomy's flower helmets, would get your expelled from the Scura Gang for ever.
  11. A Z3 M Coupe is something completly different, 325 bhp and M-sport chassie Bike is a GSXR1000 And both guys are infantile idiots IMHO
  12. Nope, this is the real deal: Marta Vieira da Silva, one of the most brillant players I have ever seen. Sorry to say that the opprtunities in Brazil is not good for women footballers. She play professionally in Umeå IK in northern Sweden. If you're a football fan check her out in UEFA womens cup with Umeå or with Brazil in the World Cup.
  13. I that picture really from this years show? it looks like the same girl and the same outfit as a couple of years back
  14. I didn't know that, too bad, and Holland is toast w/o him
  15. hmmm, the groups will be drawn December 9th Jaap Stamm , watch out, Zlatan is coming to Germany!
  16. No need, only one scandinavian country is in the world cup 2006
  17. I would guess Honda, or something Honda copied from in the early days.
  18. Norge = Norway is pronounced Norr-yeh is swedish and Norr-ge (ge like in get) in norwegian
  19. me too, with a pre-2002 frame and a (slightly) shorter fork than stock I still keep it in the soft range. Too stiff and the tail end starts to wiggle in high speed and become less agile round the bends.
  20. I run the suspension fairly soft too, and I tried to run w/o steering damper altogher, I worked great. BUT I don't like tank slaping so the Öhlins damper is perfect, in soft settings next to zero resistance until your need it.
  21. Excellent, do you have any idea about in what price range it will land?
  22. The stock Bitubo is not very good, too much resistance even in minimum setting. Took it off and replaced it with an Öhlins unit, perfect!
  23. A GoldWing is not a bike, it's a bus on 2 wheels!
  24. Well, Jan posted a link to a press relase named PressReleaseMotoGuzzi2006_eng from the official Guzzi site. It presents the 2006 range My interpretation is that MGS/01 is part of the 2006 line-up or is the press release just misleading?
  25. but what about the MGS/01, why mention it in the press release if it is discontinued? or is it not?
