I find myself hoping that they are really having fun, and not fulfilling the ego of a parent or something. Flash website here https://thegraystones.com/about-2/ Expensive gear, most likely a multi-track recording for the video and post production Someone is behind them and supporting them, so I hope it is because the kids are really into it all off their own bat.

It's a later frame, single side swingarm, so probably Bellagio. You could get one of the few MGS-01s out there for that much. Not street legal, but.... A dealership in Seattle had a new in the crate MGS-01 maybe 2 years ago. Was asking 49K.

. The OP, a long-timer here, apparently hasn't been back since he posted about his drop. I rode near Coats on the way to Augusta on Day 1 of return, but my pivoting peg was a bit late to save his lever. Bill

This is quite the project with an impressive long list of work. At $51k, it's also the most expensive Guzzi I've ever seen. Displacement is listed at 1105cc, which made me wonder if it started out as a V11, and he bored the cylinders to bump it up from the stock 1064cc. Then I realized Bellagio is mentioned in the link (I'm not familiar with that model). https://shop.bikeexif.com/products/2020-moto-guzzi-bellagio-by-dreamermotorcycle?omhide=true

@docc the bass player has a smaller scale bass; probably because he has small hands...

Randy , do you still need your part for the sidestand ? If not , please post what you have done .

The insta360 is most likely your best bet. Unfortunately, it is very expensive for what it is: 550.00 USD! I have the X3, which is currently being sold 330.00 USD, with taxes (Texas and Houston 8.25%) on Amazon. Plus, you need to purchase an SD card, and various accessories to install it on your motorcycle; there are plenty of brands making kits, so you don't necessarily need to purchase from Insta360 store. I can give you a tip about accessories: I have purchased many from different brands. Most of the clamping sections don't fit around the V11 clip-ons. Either because of the diameter, or because there is not enough width space to accommodate them. Plus, the vibrations from the engine tend to affect the quality of the video, and get all screwable parts loose. I have not even taken my X3 out of the box yet...

I believe the Daytona and Centauro take the same kickstand. Been looking on eBay for 6 months with no luck.

Funny. I have spent many years on Harleys so that could actually be the reason. :-)

LOL. OK, I think there is a law actually. Possibly accompanied by the birch (punishment they used to hand out here whereby you'd be beaten with a branch of birch). Anyway, just for you I went the right way around too ;-)

No, that would be the sub-genre Redneck Hippie Jazz PS: A Banjo through effects pedals and a Fender Twin is an interesting concept. I wonder what he uses as a pickup?

thanks. I will follow your progress if you'd care to post it. It's great so far and one can easily see the potential with the direction you are headed. I'm just considering my first camera purchase and this is helpful and a very interesting test. As far as a video -to accompany a for sale advert- goes... this effort is over the top by norm standards and should hasten the sale. Dang, it makes me even want it. What a beauty.

And was "Pink Floyd" the original Redneck Jazz . . .

Any updates on your project, @Klaus756?

@Lucky Phil ok, I'll pay that.

There are some things Mick that require rigidity. I mean would you put you're Vegemite toast on your plate upside down to see what that was like? or try and ride your Le Mans cross handed? Phil

Sie müssen flexible sein! @Molly it's not a Harley. Try using the upper 2,000 revs of the rev range. You might be surprised how rewarding that is.

At least we would know why your head is done-in. Some people's heads are done-in and nobody knows why . . .

Surely there's a law against riding the course in the reverse direction, it's just not right. I'm not going to watch this video, it would do my head in after memorising the course in the racing direction

Well done, very creative. It makes me wonder if it would be possible to build a sewing machine that sews with zip-ties. Anyway, I'll send you a PM with my mobile telephone number. It would be good if you send me yours. My first trip down to Altusried is later this week.

I am going to have to get well and ride !

Pinned topic for others to post and find more easily . . .

It would be amazing if you could do that for me, it looks nearly pristine except for the one damaged bit on there. The color is right too! Since this part of the fairing is too far gone to repair anyways, I did do a quick fix with some zip ties so I can at least ride the bike until I get all the parts to fix it.

I own two video cameras: a DGI pocket 2, and an Insta360; for sound, especially while running, you need a separate recorder. I suggest the Zoom H1n, which cost nothing. I used it with my Le Mans, under the seat, where the tool kit was meant to go. My bike did not come with one (tool kit). You have to make a hard foam padding to set the zoom recorder in, so you don't get any parasite noises. Just the sound of the bike. Do not use the DGI pocket 2 for dynamic presentations. The gimbals on the head don't resist the wind, or in FPV (first person video) it is difficult to get it to focus where you want. For static presentations, it is perfect; see the sales video of my 1100 Quota below the Le Mans dynamic presentation. Although, on the Quota, I used the DGI, since I can hide it behind the screen. I can't with the Le Mans. But you can hear the wind, because I did not use the zoom recorder. Also, the vibrations. The Insta360 is supposedly better with eliminating vibrations digitally. I am planning to test the Insta360 soon. I purchased it more than one year ago, and I have not used it yet. Not even taken out of the box.... If I like it, I will purchase the latest Insta360 with the larger sensor.

Hopefully not duplicating another thread, just wondered if members wanted a central place to put videos of their bikes? I live in the Isle of Man so my rides are typically quite short. I've taken to keeping a GoPro on the bike but really need to invest in a better one and better audio gear (not to mention a better sounding exhaust). Anyway, Sunday morning I like to get out early and get a lap in before the Island wakes up. Bit late today but did a reverse lap starting and finishing near home in Kirk Michael. Audio is terrible. New Road 6 tyres are fantastic. Like getting a new bike. Picture is actually of my first V11 and was taken a good eighteen years or so ago. I wouldn't mind another wee fairing like this one had.
