    Post a pic of your V11 - No words

    in 24/7 V11

    Posted

    My Dad's mate Lance used to have a big Chev Impala back when we were kids...

    This was quite something in 70's NZ I can tell you.

    Yeah,the boot (trunk to you guy's) was bloody huge! I remember throwing the racing go kart and everything needed to race all day in it and still there was heaps of room !

    That and even just cruising around it'd chirp the tyres when the 3 speed auto changed gears....

    Bloody impressive especially when you're more used to 52 Morrie Oxfords and 57 100E Prefects.....

    Ha ha the memories!

    I'm just about to call me ole mate in Perth for Xmas and as lifelong mates and gearheads will remind him of the ole days and Lance's Impala!His 57 100E is long gone and now has an XK8 Jag in the garage!

    Anyways folk's I'm gonna pour myself a glass o vino and have a laugh with me ole mate so to all of you in our wee V11 world...Merry Christmas and hope you all have a great festive season!

    Cheers Guzzler

    Ps I kinda think many of us here would be pretty good mates if we weren't spread round the globe eh.

    Still bloody good to know ya all in cyberland all the same!

    Yes, I remember that period. In Melbourne in the late eighties, Volvos were considered to be the most dangerous cars on the road. Not for the people in the Volvo, for everyone and everything else on the road. Particualarly motorcycles. :angry:

    Especially when driven by old men wearing hats....

    Bloody hell, I fall into that category myself now but just don't have the Volvo!

    A test report for V11 tyres

    G'day

    I ran Pilot Roads 2,3 and 4 and then changed to Pirelli Angels.

    My thoughts were that they suited the V11 a lot better than the Michelins but in fairness this was before I had my suspension sorted!

    I remember being very impressed with Angel GT after the Michi's even before the susp upgrade though!

    Angel GT2 currently on it and these are bloody great wet or dry!

    I'll run these again when done but reckon must be about due for a GT3 so hoping these might be available beforehand...? 

    Cheers 

    I bit the bullet, and spent the bucks!

    Unreal....

    Back when I first got to Melbourne,someone in the group of family and friends knew someone who was in the Musicians Club in Windsor.

    So I tagged along a few times and it became a bit of a local.Then someone decided to start a Darts team!

    We played in a league that covered pubs in the area and I remember playing in the Tankerville Arms a few times on a Thursday night,It was strictly a social/fun thing nothing serious but had a good time was had all the same!

    What a laugh...

    Yeah, this one is the second for me too. The first one got pinched here

     

    The Tote Hotel

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tote_Hotel

    during the time I worked there in the late '80s.

    I actually saw it again a couple of months later here

    https://www.facebook.com/p/Tankerville-Arms-Hotel-100063457777673/

    just over a kilometre up the street, but wasn't able to reclaim it. :(

    It took me close to 20 years to get the second and current one. I'm quite sure it will see me out. It has survived an accident with bravour, and just keeps on going on. :)

    Ha ha 

    I worked in Abbotsford in the mid to late 80's, so know this area!

    Didn't frequent either pub but did drop into one on Hoddle street on a Friday after work for a Pot of Carlton draught.

    Cheers 

    Ps more I think about it the more I reckon I have been in the Tankerville Arms...

    What a bloody small world eh

    Yep, me too in saying NO to an electric motorcycle.....

    About the only electric vehicle I'm going to buy will be one of those mobility jobbies when I can't walk or get about!

    Not interested in any others.

    Cheers

    This is the reason we won't be buying any more new cars...

    I can't stand the crap they have on them now let alone this level of intrusion!

    Cheers

    Ps still reckon getting the idiots who just can't ride/drive off the roads is better than trying to dumb down everything so they can play too...

    There are buses and trains for these imbeciles!

    But there isn't a politician with a testicle to implement it... better to just preach about zero road tolls and looking like they give a shit
