Ariel Leader/Arrow 250?

Hi Jürgen, I've put your request on the Dutch Guzzi forum: http://www.mgcn.nl/forum/index.php?showtopic=3815

It's the infamous "Soixante-neuf Al Dento"

I've noticed it now too; even with my godlike administrative rights I can't start a poll! I'll look into it, but with the 87,942 settings in the admin section it's quite hard to find...

Did you see the green bathtub from Holland in Mandello? He was in the same hotel as me.

Is he now head of the scooter design team?

Alex, Too bad we didn't meet. I saw you standing by Paul's Daytona, but didn't know who you were.

I couldn't see it either, was it the movie with the stripper magician?

OK, I was just forwarding what the guy from Bicilindrica told me, but it could well be I didn't understand him correctly with the MGS doing burnouts!

Found a pic made in the factory on the german V11 forum:

I'm back too. It was great. Did meet some nice Guzzisti and saw a lot of people I already knew. Like Chris (V11UK) and his wife Jane. The trip was organized by forum sponsor TLM and they did a good job. Riding with 200 (!) Guzzis through the tunnels from Lecco to Mandello was one of the highlights of the weekend! Just imagine the sound and then multiply it by ten... Some pics: 1. Stopping for a cappucino at the "concessionare" in Chiavenna on the way to Mandello. Jens Hoffman was there also with his Guzzila (gas pump kaputt) 2. The MGS01 with Italian license plate built by the son of Bruno Scola (I was told they are building a homologation series) 3. An outside view from the museum 4. The beautiful V8 engine 5. A V11LM in green. I really like the idea, but it was a bit too pimped with small red-colored details

Cool, a BOTM sticker!

halleluja!

A used Cali Vintage will be hard to find, but you can turn a used Cali very easily in a Vintage lookalike. German forummember Cantaloop is doing just that

5 posts without titties... and now 6...

Andy, I was told the Café Sport Öhlins wouldn't fit my '02 LM because of the fairing, but you prove me wrong!

I've added #104, owned by Mat van Stijn from the Netherlands

Well done! Thanks.

With regards to weather forecast I have complete trust in the germans

This afternoon I got this invitation from the MGWC.... cool. Maybe a free dinner on Saturday? Finally this MGWC memberships pays off! Sorry, one person only...

Weather for next weekend in Mandello is looking good! Wetter.com

Today I decided to give the bike a closer inspection than I normally do. I'm glad I did. I took of the exhaust system for cleaning and found the Mistral X-over to be cracked at a weld. No big deal, but I don't want to cross the Splugen-pass with 120 dB or more... So I called a friend and he's going to weld it tomorrow at his job. Past week I also found the engine sweating through the gasket between engine and sump. So I rode to TLM to get a new gasket. When I put the allen key in the bolts, a few were loose! No new gasket required. Just retightened all bolts and checked the sweating after a 30 km ride. Gone. I just love tinkering on my Guzzi, especially when everything is so easily solved! Oh, and the weather is great today too!!! Bliss!!!

Seven of nine...

BULLOCKS!!! Look in the FAQ or search. Lots of info.

Martin, this is not the topic to start with New Zealand jokes...
