Hairy Cannonball Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Hi all, Just a quick first post to introduce myself. I recently purchased a 2003 V11 LM from a very good friend who had bought it new. The bike only has a little over 5000 miles on it and it is in perfect condition. I am not sure why I need another motorcycle to go with the other 7 already in the garage, but hey, my loving wife said we didn't have a red bike yet so go for it. Whats a man to do other than get out the checkbook ? Its not my first Guzzi, years ago while attending the University of Grand Forks in North Dakota I had a '74 850 Eldorado police. Despite having numerous other fine motorcycles along the way I have regretted selling that bike since the moment it left my hands. This V11 brings back a very very nice feeling. Although it was only 3 degrees C here today I spent most of the afternoon riding around giggling like a total fool inside my helmet. The only other bike that has made me feel this way this strong is my 900SS Duc. I am hoping my roundcase 750GT will too when I finally get it restored. From reading the posts, most here understand what I am talking about. Don't get me wrong, I have loved all my bikes...just some quite a bit more than others I actually just found this forum a few days ago while researching any issues a V11 might have prior to buying this one. Happily I didn't find any I can't live with. Thanks to all who have posted valuable information. I look forward to learning lots more. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tikkanen Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Hi Tim, welcome to the forum and good luck with your V11. To me this homepage has proven to be invaluable; there are so many good people out there in cyberspace with so much knowledge. Seven other bikes? cheers Søren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Cannonball Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 Ha ha ok, well I don't have a very good pic of the whole group together, the best I can do is this older photo which doesn't show all of the bikes. The DRZ is now gone, traded for a roundcase 750GT project bike which is pretty ugly at the moment so I don't have pics of it. The Diesel Royal Enfield was in pieces when this photo was taken and now looks like this: I don't have a good photo of the V11 yet, when It gets warm enough here to clean it up a bit I will post.

Hairy Cannonball Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 Ok I dug through some more of my pics and actually came up with a pic of the V11. This was taken on a club ride last summer before I adopted it. See I was lusting after it even back then The green one belongs to another member of our local club.
