Or as uncle Monty in Withnail and I would put it ....Bruised!

That sky does look pretty threatening doesn't it.....

I hope they do bring out a LeMans/Sport variant.. It doesn't have to be another irrelevant 200 horsepower 180kg waste of time that can only be used on a track. With the resurgence of the sport bike in a smaller more manageable variant, there's gotta be some buyers willing to buy a sporty Guzzi with a personality rather than the anodyne offerings from the usual suspects...?

Ha ha I'll get in first and say.... What about a new LeMans/Sport with the new platform?? Cheers

Ha ha reckon you'd be right there about floating glasses...flying ones perhaps? Thanks for posting the link to explain for others. Cheers

Didn't happen to see any levitating schooners.......? Then again, they reckon the ghost has shuffled off now.

Indeed! Lest one becomes a snack oneself....

Good luck and safe travels mate! Cheers

Yep, I loved the Haggis when I was there too! But then again, I also like Black pudding so wasn't going to be put off by the ingredients in it. No way in Hades would I partake of the deep- fried Mars bar though! Cheers

Ha ha Got me some Titanium goodness in my neck..... Cheers

I've never tried Mutton but after seeing/reading your posts Bill I reckon I'd like to try it.... Especially after Mick's description of it. Once again mate a great post and Thanks for taking us along with you! Cheers and don't worry about too many photos.....Take more next time!

Yep, whenever money is involved the definition of sport goes out the window...

That Norton's a beauty......

Yep, I had a timing gasket go in the early days too.... Also gets the heart rate moving! Cheers

Aha. Mines spent a bit of time in the sun without any issues but is an 01 model. Just doesn't quite look right in polished silver to me.... Cheers

Dunno why you'd chrome her chops or stilettos.... They look much better in Red!

They do grow on you don't they..... I kinda thought that if something happened with the V11 I'd go with a 1200 Sport but would seriously consider a Griso! Mind you I do hope nothing happens to the Green one... Cheers

I think a lot of people these days are very self- absorbed and lost in their digital world (s).... Exception being us bike nuts,we seem to be able to talk to each other without any dramas.I've even found that it's (the bike) a good conversation starter with some er normal people too!

Just in case you all missed it the first time.... Jeez dunno what happened there!

We got back to NZ to visit a cousin about an hour north of Auckland a few years ago.... Ooh wee... did we enjoy the Pinot in Auckland! In the summer when it's a bit warm for Shiraz I do enjoy a Marlborough Sauv. Blanc too! Yep, add good wine to that list of things life's too short for..! Cheers NZ pies are the best too!

My previous all time favourite was a Bevel Duc / Conti set up. I have Mistral carbon cans on my Greenie and have always thought it sounds at least as good if not better than a Duc /Conti set up... Especially with airbox mods and Stucchi crossover! Tis music to my ears and so it seems to many others as well. Cheers

Ha ha. Mate, I remember the ole knock off 5 and stay alive ad's, but what I was on about was the clowns that were very easily distracted at 100kph were even more so or downright dangerous at 95 kph....Not that too many actually did so. I've spent quite some time on our roads over the years and have seen all sorts on them eh. Cheers

Well, I enjoyed mine without the smoky aftertaste this morning..... Cheers

Meanwhile clowns with the attention span of a gnat on gear nod off at the wheel.....!

Yep, every ride here demands constant vigilance regarding speed!! And then sometimes a nervous wait for 2-3 weeks if you have a close call. It does get old I can tell you. Cheers Ps Yeah, and the attitude from the ----wits who've swallowed the safetycrat koolaid hook line and sinker just adds to the whole experience!
