  1. It’s not so much the bubbling but the paint deteriorates to a faded grey looking salt lick
  2. One reason nobody’s listening is that there’s a lot of ‘in plain sight’ obfuscation going on under our noses that various levels of grubberment are implementing. Here in Australia it’s rife. Here’s an insightful discussion about how the climate emergency scare will move people and communities from their homes

    V11 Special

    Looking at that seat I was visibly wincing But then I scrolled on a few more pics… and quietly sighed with relief Phew! Now that’s custom
  5. This’ll put a little more flesh on those fossilised bones… ⛽️ 🏍️
  6. The Scura R was indeed the last iteration of the breed. A handful each to selected European countries only. UK received 4 in total. Articles indicated there were only supposed to be 23 made. A reputable Guzzi source refuted that & stated 18 in number only.
  7. Lots of people been saying there’s no more power to be gotten out of V8’s down at the drags for years… Until somebody comes along & proves ‘em wrong! 😂
  8. On one of my other forums I hang out on a biker friend bought this to my attention - as this affects my mates in the UK (I lived there for 15 years) I thought I’d pass the original poster’s message. It’s all supranational lead now - nothing sovereign - so probably be coming everybody’s way. I just hope Guzzi hurries up & puts out a V100 LeMans soon because I wanna own one before the world ends! ————— This is over a year old, but I confess I wasn’t aware of it. I must say, I had thought that the ban on ICE (internal combustion engined) bikes had been announced in conjunction with that for cars. Stuart Fillingham’s bike channel I’ve only recently come across, confirmation of how long I’ve not been paying much attention to things motorcycle, despite continuously owning at least one bike since 1977. I’m feeling genuinely sad, as an understatement, that this ban on petrol powered motorcycles marks the unequivocal end of an era of “the freedom of the open road”, which was afforded to people of all ages, but particularly young people, for around the last century. One of the many advantages of motorcycles, unless you buy something so large that it sacrifices it’s main advantage in traffic, is the ability to weave your way through static jams and out the other side. Again, so long as you don’t buy a behemoth like a Victory, or ride around like Valentino Rossi, you’ve the manoeuvrability and economy to get you around quite economically. If you’re willing to put up with very limited power, some small engined machines cost peanuts to run, especially bought 5th hand. These also offer surmountable challenges to a young person, forced to learn how to perform basic maintenance (I’ve never had my bikes serviced by a bike shop, because I couldn’t afford to & very soon didn’t need to). If what was going on was a combination of climate change and limitations on availability of so-called fossil fuels, small capacity motorcycles would be a very helpful, partial solution. But they’re being banned too, in 2030. The only explanation for the behaviour of our government is that it, along with the governments of scores of other countries, have been captured by (or worse, wilfully collaborated with) supranational forces such as we see manifest in the WEF (you’ll be aware that there are multiple other supranational groups who have been operating for long periods of time, about whom we never hear on our captured media & it is likely to they’re the source of WEF’s “marching orders”. I don’t know how far down the rabbit hole Stuart Fillingham has got, but he’s a bright person, a former beat policeman (remember those?) & lifelong biker. He knows that climate change as an existential crisis is just a lie, but I don’t know what else he’s worked out. He has pointed out something that I’d neglected to realise, and that’s that the imminent loss of access to cheap transport (like small bikes, or Geoff Buys Cars-style, near end of life ICE cars) means that the rural poor will largely not have access to employment. I don’t think any political party has yet pointed this out, and it’s a devastating problem. I imagine it’s objective is to force people off the land and into inadequate, still expensive, rentals of multiple occupation. Best wishes Mike Ps: I wrote one post, which was deleted as I watched, seconds after posting it.
  9. Correct. 👍😎 No US V11 models. Only the later V11 models destined for European countries, including Britain, Australia. New Zealand. The US models missed out on the 15RC ecu which has the O2 sensor closed loop feedback. I’d pointed this out previously. This is an international forum where folks with v11’s outside the US come seeking information.
  10. Everybody who rubbed shoulders with Dr John described him as a kind & generous soul. Mother Guzzi has never credited Foale for the spine frame to my knowledge - it’s on the company to own up & compensate Foale if warranted. Speculation of nefarious intent has been attributed to the story of Foale & Dr John. But does this actually fit with Dr John’s character? It’s patently at odds from those who contributed first hand reports on their Dr John experiences. Not really worth a pile of beans 🫘 inasmuch to tarnish Dr John’s generosity, passion & contribution to Moto Guzzi’s racing achievement. Dr John sure knew how to extract reliable high power out of his Guzzi’s. Bloody legend r.i.p.
  11. https://mgprotos.com/prototypes Dr John was a legend. His influence reached the very furtherest corner of the planet…
