Wow! A new phrase is added to the Rock n Roll lexicon. 'it just makes me wanna dust my broom' – check 'it just makes me wanna walk the dog' – check 'it just makes me wanna ride my Goose' – hey hey mama, rocknroll

5 only... so I've kept it to this side of the pond. Do these count as Rock n Roll? Brown Sugar ~ Rolling Stones Reason: Gloria / Baby Please Don't Go ~ Van Morrison / Them Reason: Maybe I'm Amazed ~ Faces Reason: All or Nothing ~ Small Faces Reason: For Your Love ~ Yardbirds Reason:

Carrots with pesticide added are cheaper than carrots grown with nothing added

There have been discussions about the 'best' or 'required' length of intake tube. I don't know what threads they were in. You might be lucky and find them, if you try a search with some suitable words.

And of course that is the great joke. Running my Moto Guzzi is more expensive than running a car, such as the VW Polo that I'm driving, for example. The bike is a bad comparison of consumption on fuel, tyres, insurance... pretty much everything. Even parts. As we know.

She heard about the Belfast Cowboy?

You've painted!

The black stuff Not being night-time, this is off my own topic, but it is Scura Espresso

This looks reasonable in black.

Excellent – and you can represent Italy!

yeah I've been at the controls all day too!

I have put links on the web page to clubs/boards that may be represented at the rally. If I have something wrong, or if you want one added (Pennine Pie Eaters or whatever) – post here to let me know. Listed so far - boards and clubs that might be represented at the Ulster Rally: V.11 Le Mans.com Squadra Guzzista Moto Guzzi Club GB MG Club Bohemia, Czech MG Club of Sweden MG Club Nederland MG Klub Danmark

I just mean competition for the name 'Ulster Rally' (not the date) Mind you, there have been many different types of 'Ulster rallies', but I'll not go into that!

Ah thank you for making that clear! I also saw that bohemia club name but the post that I saw was on the 1921 guzzisti.cz Forum. That .CZ Forum also has a sub forum called Moto Guzzi Club Bohemia. ? Do you mean that is all hijacked from the Club Bohemia site?

I've seen it on the Moto Guzzi Club of Sweden and on the excellent [EDIT] www.motoguzziclubbohemia.cz

Paul talked a few times about knocking a Bellagio into a Café Racer. "World motorcycle show in Milan are close to, information about new models begin to percolate, magazines bring drawings of their options. We caught the reports on the upcoming Café Racer Moto Guzzi and quite seriously, we reflect on how it may look. Motorbike-style Café Racer is one of the Moto Guzzi almost from the beginning of this movement. Most of the conversion based on Tontiho frame (Le Mans, T5, etc., etc.), all unnecessary light on the matter. 940 Café Racer is a modern concept based on more current models: Served as a basis for the Bellagio, because the wire wheels, exhausts and a stylish overall mood is something cheerfully. The front part of the frame is new - neck management is significantly lower angle of management is sharper. Handlebars are attached directly to the carrier fork tubes, steps and pedals shifted up and back for sportovnější posaz. Long low fuel tank was modifications tank model Daytona, the Passat engine is made in accordance with the model MGS-01. The front wing is lighter original wing Bellagio. Polokapotáž is viable and a little larger version of the one which produced Magni for the V11. Racing numbers belong to the genre. Okay, so soon introduced Café Racer certainly does not look like, rather it is a retro, reminiscent půvdní V7 Sport, but such conversion was behind the attempt, huh?" Huh, indeed.

I see that we have some competition: Ulster Rally 2009 And the Czech brothers are considering the matter: on [edit] www.motoguzziclubbohemia.cz

Well, these are Modern Days that we're living in. There are 2 things that I'm thinking of banning: • cranky, antiquated V.11s • cranky, antiquated Scotsmen. When the two are combined, it certainly is a curiosity. Perhaps there can be a barn out the back for those old yokes.

er, um, define modern day

Maybe they should have called it GT, instead of Sport? Or GT Sport

Useful link, DL's post made me wonder about the electric bike alternative, for commuting. I'm not going to get one, and have never had any interest as they always seem ugly and pointless: but 'the point' could actually be as a commute-to-work, where it's just a bit too far of a push for an unfit cyclist, in winter. ?? Rather than a car or motorbike. On the other hand, it seems a bit of a waste to be paying road tax and insurance and then have the bike/car just sit at home all week.

Both parts of the deal sound great. You get a 1200 Sport at a good price AND you (eventually ) get a V11 based café racer. Perfect! You'll be bringing the 1200 Sport to N.I. in May? I think that model will make a good tourer.
