Only 24 hours since it was revealed that a posted intent to participate must be actualized by using the forum's "Message" function ( P M ) sending a physical address to @Chuck.
Using the comprehensive list I posted, above, who is missing of the nine members who posted intent?
All I have are names and addresses..
[chuck/docc edits: names converted to usernames]:

that is 10 and enough to get the ball rolling. I'm in the middle of getting an order for materials and parts for the airplane project, and will order the steel at the same time.

That said - there is a place for the use of fossil fuels in the world. Also, enough sunlight hits the earth to power everything we currently use. I do hope we figure out how to capture and use that energy more efficiently soon.
I said I wasn't going to say anything else.. but ..
This.

The oil and coal conglomerates have been doing a very effective disinformation campaign since the 70s. That is all I'm going to say.

Well, my worst ever experience was a Ducati that I was afraid to ride farther than I was willing to walk.

Yeah, I hit a milestone today.. put $21 in fuel in the AeroLario. (!) I remember when it seems not too long ago, I was griping about putting $2 in my Duck at Bike week..
Still 190 miles, 3.5 gallons is a fair amount of riding. I've spent more for less fun.
Oh, I feel like Kreskin, too.. ordering a Tesla last summer.

I'd say the powder I have is more satin than flat. That said, "This ain't the Burger King. You don't get it your way, you get it my way or you don't get the SOB."
(old tool room saying.)
If you don't like it, the powder coat will make a fine primer coat for whatever version of black you want.

OK, let's close that deal, I'll take two to make it ten.
I personally would prefer mines in black, powder coated if possible. IIRC Chuck made a run of powder coated ones, otherwise I'll take them raw as I have a bunch of parts to send to the PC.
And thanks to everyone who raised their hands for this!
Ok.. flat black powder coat it is. I'll get the material ordered.
Here's the deal.
Send me a PM here, or email 59periodChuckatgmailperiodcom with your mailing address and how many you want. When they are done, I'll send them out. Cost is still US $50 each plus actual shipping, no fondling charge. I'll let you know how much shipping was after they are posted.
Be patient.. I'm in the final push on the little airplane I'm building, and will have to make time to do this run.

Back in the day, a SoCal Beemer mechanic I knew decided to put on some aftermarket lights. I'm not sure if he ever got it going again..

Front tire change is easy. Just back it into the chock, tie it down, and lift under the motor..

Nope. I'd do another run if you get 9 more people that want one, though..

From my Scura log..courtesy of Kiwi Roy..
neutral light won't go out -look for- sticky neutral switch
Won't run in gear -look for- stuck or dirty sidestand switch
Won't run in neutral -look for- stuck neutral switch OR neutral (middle)relay
neutral light yes but won't run in neutral -look at- middle relay
Starter won't turn -look at- clutch switch or starter relay
and..
As Docc says I would suspect the ignition switch, when's the last time you cleaned the contacts? If you wire a small lamp to the petcock fuse F8 you may see it go dim or flicker confirming that there is a bad contact somewhere between the ignition switch, kill switch or side stand relay.

An Australian designed, Indiana/USA made improvement on a Belarusian V11!
Yeah, you've gotta love this forum. It is *the* knowledge base for the V11S. Thanks, Jaap, and Docc..

I, and the Mighty Scura were on "The Snake" in the Santa Monica mountains, when I saw a bike behind me in my mirrors. I'm not a "A" rider, but can keep up with the "B" riders easily.. so it was an unusual occurrence. Naturally, I waved him by, and he disappeared in three corners. I thought, "What the hell was that??" He stopped at the Rock Store, and we had the place to ourselves midweek. Sat on the steps and shot the shit for a while. He was a magazine tester on a new Tuono, and said it was insane. I believed him.. I've never seen a bike accelerate out of a corner like that..

It’s all about core strength and hugging the tank with your knees.
Yep. If you are putting weight on the bars, it affects the bike's handling, not to mention hand, wrist, shoulder, and neck pain. Don't ask me how I know..

I am mainly interested in the amount of weight on the wrists
I had this problem when I was still a yout
in my late 50s. I thought I was in pretty good shape, but a personal trainer told me my core strength sucked, and he would get me back on sport bikes in a couple of months. After nearly killing me, he did.

Welcome, Miro.. really, I wouldn't be concerned. If you want to touch it up, cleaning it with some lacquer thinner, and about any paint for metal applied with an artist's brush will do the job.
