Good luck with your purchase fotoguzzi - I can see there’s a certain charm going on with that bad boy!

My Indian Chieftain Limited 116 has 126ftlbs of torque and only 79HP. It will cruise with my wife and I along with all our “stuff” all day over 80 mph effortlessly. The bike weights over 850lbs so it’s not going to win a drag race with a sport bike from a dead stop, but will maintain speed with much less drama. BTW it’s not slow.

Wikipedia? Crikey! C’mon man… sourcing info from Wikipedia is about as reliable as listening to the CDC

That JP Sears vignette of ‘kid’ in the classroom welcoming the new boy…

It’s a great little question… harder than you’d expect
Have a crack at answering it before actually watching the vid
So, what would you say if a spotty kid specifically asked, “Hey mister, why does Horsepower & Torque ALWAYS cross at 5,252 RPM?”
As for me - I’d probably repeat my mother’s exasperated answer when I was a kid… “Y’s a crooked letter, & you should know better!”
That’s when I knew the day would go well for me if I shut up… 😏

Hey man… welcome aboard!
In six months time it’ll be interesting if you’re as into the boxer ‘smoothness’ or jiving that V11’s syncopating jazz
Six months should do… 😗

Any feedback prior to my ordering?
Are you sure? It all depends on what you like…
Riding is rather boring if it wasn’t for curves imo
Grounding side of boot still makes me jump mid corner & breaks concentration of the moment
If given choice of dropping or lifting pegs half an inch - I’d actually choose ⬆️ now
Leave ‘em where they are - the position seems more comfortable with more miles
Occasionally extend out your outside leg on a curve to give your muscles & tendons a stretch & little pump of the blood flow - it’s all good
Not all fiddling ends up worthwhile
Just sayin’…

Just so happens last Friday I was skanking along to some of The Specials songs being played by a Ska band
Today I hear the sad news about Terry Hall 19 March 1959 - 18 December 2022 R.I.P.
I see a clinic full of cynics
Who want to twist the peoples' wrist
They're watching every move we make
We're all included on their list
The lunatics have taken over the asylum

“Go nuclear” the cowboy told usAnd who am I to disagree
'Cos when the madman flips the switch
The nuclear will go for meThe lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
I've seen the faces of starvation
But i just cannot see the point
'Cos there's so much food here today
That no one wants to take away
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum - take away my right to choose
The lunatics have taken over the asylum - take away my point of view
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum - take away my dignity
Take these things away from me
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum - take away my family
Take away the right to speak
The lunatics have taken over the asylum take away my point of view
Take away my right to choose-

There are plenty of 'Weak Points' in a V11 but the majority of them are the result of ignorance and abuse.
This pricked my ears!
Is there a checklist of ‘Weak Points’ already?
I’d run a ruler over mine…

Man, I'm not sure what's wrong. I've been sick with a virus for a couple of weeks. I've started to slowly recover and get back to normal. Anyway to the topic. Lightning struck nearby yesterday and it took out my new stereo and sub. So I'm not listening to anything. I was actually able to drive for the first time, so I was able to exchange the cable box.
It's a bad deal to be home ridden with no tunes. I have a bluetooth speaker, so there's that.
Whining over.
Gee that’s too bad to hear LowRyter - hope you’re now back in the saddle up to speed revitalising the natural terrain
Nobody can be complacent with their health nowadays - those gain of function lab coats are up to no good

Back from ‘holiday’ GuzziMoto - so belated cheers. 🍻
I actually found Gale’s data revealing. V11’s are faulted for having a mid-range hole - is there maybe more here than meets the eye
The power loss experienced by Gale’s 427ci sucking under hood air is 111 Hp - which is equivalent to almost 16 Hp per litre.
Now this hooded hot aired 550 Hp divided by 7 (as in 7L) is 78 Hp per Litre
Whilst ambient air 661 Hp divided by 7 is 94 Hp
Numbers somewhat in our 1L V-twins territory
Now I’m not postulating we would reduce Hp losses of 16 Hp here - or even halving that again @8 Hp.
But conservatively if we halve it again @4 Hp - that’s got to be up for consideration
Under hoods aren’t particularly hermetically sealed areas - all that open space betwixt engine bay & road - meaning it’s getting spoiled airflow too
Maybe our restricted pocket of air between tank & radiating finned cylinder’s is more detrimentally heated than we imagine? Are we overly assuming it’s quite the little refreshing wind tunnel in there when we’re moving along?
Might Gale consider the V11’s heated intake density ‘pure Jackassery’

I found this short vid by Gale Banks (he sure knows a thing or two about pow-wuh!) with air density data interesting.
I often wonder on Ozzie summer days just to what degree our stock intake box perched between two combustion chambers shedding heat - ends up baking the air charge prior to the intake valve opening.
Would wrapping in some reflective insulation which claim to reflect heat continuously up to 260°C & intermittently up to 400°C be worthwhile as in performance gains - or futile exercise?

Some of the kids who discovered me from my 'F.E.A.R.' record or one of the U.N.K.L.E. tunes have said, 'I don't even like the Roses; I love your solo stuff." I buzz off that.

Dr. John tribute body kit from Ghezzi-Brian
in 24/7 V11
Posted
For my money I actually prefer the dress kits retaining the original V11 tank - 1. Trofeo & 2. Fiamma
Traditional modernist - is that a thing?
