Agreed, but what triggered your rant?

He used his bike summer and winter visiting farmers. It had to be reliable, speed wasn't that important

My father had one of those. He thought it was a piece of crap :-)

You could try Hagon shocks: lots of different sizes and they put on springs according to your total ride weight. Almost all the classic racers use them.

Please check the FAQ. There you'll find a model breakdown:

You can still get the Dunlop K82 new. A quick google: http://www.nationalbiketyres.co.uk/motorcycle-tyres/dunlop-motorcycle-tyres/classic-k70-k81-k82/cat_85.html

Loft space is prime real estate in NL! You just need some special seeds, some bright lamps and a bit of patience.

There's always something rotten in Denmark... think bacon

Is there already a beer called 'cylinder head sludge' or 'tranny sludge' ?

Have doen the same thing before the Centauro engine transplant . No fitting problems on the v11 cilinders. Not sure through if a 1100 sport fairing has enough room Sent from a clever thingy with a microprocessor and an interweb connection

Thanks! Enjoyed it.

I have planned my holiday in the last two weeks of June, so you can count me in!

@ Jim, are you serious about visiting Scotland? Maybe a Guzzi meeting would be something to incorporate in your holiday trip? @ Guzzirider, any dates already available on Guzzi meetings in 2014?

With the flip-top bottle?

In Holland we have special autumn beers, called bockbeer. All the small and major breweries compete for the best bockbeer of the season. Lot's of people can't wait for the bockbeers reaching the pubs. Personally, I'm not that fond of it, a bit too sweet and heavy for my taste. I can show lots more pics, but I think you get the idea

Sadly BBC isn't covering motoGP next year, so we Will be forced to pay of we want to see the races Verzonden vanaf mijn iPad met behulp van Tapatalk

Not at all, although the engine has a different kind of grunt than the V11. Sent from a clever thingy with a microprocessor and an interweb connection

Chunnel is a bit cheaper, but then it's twice 800 kms (about twice € 100 ,- diesel...)

Glad you're allright! Nice write up. I've read it with a big smile.

Checked ferries again, but I can't find anything under € 230,- i'm afraid it's just too expensive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I checked ferries, but it's bloody expensive to turn up just for the day. But if I decide to show up, what time does it start?

As far as I can remember Guzzi made two different sets, for with and without the lambda sensor. So it depends on what you have. I didn't use the ECU and it ran a lot better with the exhaust system

Same wheel, axle, and brakes as well? That looks awfully promising. NB: I got the Guzzi Öhlins fork from a guy who knew a guy whose cousin worked in Mandello. You can use the same wheel, rotors and calipers, but the axle is different (from a DUC 999 - 25mm ø) and of course different bearings. Furthermore, you can't use the OEM fender, but there are cheap carbon Aprilia RSV replacements on the market that will fit the Öhlins.
