roberto tenni

Many thanks all. I have a better picture of what is required now. Not related to but inspired by Omobono. Had to have a Tenni.

Does anyone out there know of definitive list of parts required to convert single plate clutch on Tenni/Scura to twin plate and including a flywheel not made of bubbles and dreams? Or RAM conversion?

Yes, but not as pretty.

Do we need this worm can open?

Wind-up? I'm sure my mum had one of those. Bad Guy.

As the Griso SE is not being sold/marketed with any Tenni connection, I would doubt that it exists. PR. "Parasitic bling"? Unnecessary friviolities? How many slopage plates does it take to make a parasite? Cynical? Yes. A fan of Piaggio? Not really but Guzzi may have been consigned to history some time ago but for these "market driven promoters".

Don't have tickets yet but hope to be there.

They 100% want/need to sell more Guzzis to more people.

That's the only way I'd go pillion.

I ride to Mandello every year and there is nothing wrong with my sight. Whilst Guzzi no longer make their own castings, they do assemble bikes at Mandello and there is nothing wrong with the buildings in which this takes place. The empty, badly maintained buildings are no longer used - except for storage. What they need to make motorcycles already exists at the Mandello site - with room for expansion. But this is not the problem - the fundamental issue is that they are not selling enough bikes - perhaps not enough to be viable in the eyes of Piaggio who have Vespas, MP3's etc flying out the showrooms of the world. Under the Piaggio umberella, Derby, Gilera, Vespa have the small engines covered whilst Aprillia have the sports range. That leaves cruisers... . My concern is that it will be Mandello or nothing. But perhaps you are right and everything will be shipped to Pontedera from Mandello - to continue assembling motorcycles which are being assembled at Mandello with assembly lines moved from Mandello to Pontedera? The Mandello site may be a prime property development prospect.

Wash your mouth-out with soap. I think that the divider between the two opinions may be whether or not you have visited Mandello and absorbed the atmosphere and sense of history and pride in what is a small town with a motorcycle factory at it's heart - beating continuously and pumping life into the community since 1921.

Let's not jump the gun again. The coffin lid is not on yet far less the final nail.

Swings and roundabouts. How long would it take to set your tappets on an in line four?

If Switzerland in on the table, then why not just slide down the map a bit to Mandello?

I'm just waiting for delivery of my new Rossopuro outrigger pontoons.

Are you sure those aren't extra luggage compartments?

I could do with some stable mates. All my mates are very unstable.

25000 miles an still going strong - blessed by the Greek Goddess Maia.

That looks like it. If it's also yellow, then that's it.

I would always recommend Mistral. Good quality, good sound and Micheli is a good man.

Performance parts originally supplied by Guzzi for the V11 can only be seen on ebay now. Most OE parts still available from Guzzi. Cans, luggage and 'bling' are readily available from a variety of aftermarket suppliers. Check 'rossopuro' at the top of this page.

I'm up at around 23000 miles and the only part which has failed was the battery, (that's right - it's still got the original return spring on the gear selector). No sump slopage plate fitted either - and that's with a race ECU for a brain. Niether has my flywheel exploded. If you were to believe all you read on this forum, that makes my bike some kind of miracle machine. Happy, smiley biking friend.

At No 017, my Tenni must've been pals with yours in the nursery at Mandello.

The heel of my left sock never seems to locate properly on my foot. Ever since my family left me, I have been unable to work anything out for myself and this sock thing is really getting to me. Is there anyone out there in the world who can fix my sock. Or if you see my ex wife, tell her that 'every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better'.
