I last used my V11 3 years ago to ride to Sicily from Scotland, I pretty much parked it up after that trip and have just repatriated it from storage, I was thinking of selling but as always after spending the week servicing, greasing and cleaning I stood back, looked at it and thought "what was I thinking?" Flashbacks to the good times and the grin factor means I don't think I'll be selling it too soon! I have other bikes which I use more but I reckon for all round fun the V11 is up there.

Hey Tom, shouldn't you be sleeping? the sun comes up there in about 4 more hours, and sunlight is becoming more scarce this time of year! or maybe you're now enjoying digesting the elk steak and IPA? :-> cheers

Google translates that as " They know what the clutch dimensions are for Guzzi V11 they would help me". Hello V11scura02sport From google translater "which dimension do you need?" "Que dimension necesitas?"

Uh oh . I've created a moniker !

No power commander, and pop in as I understand. Cheers tom.

Thats called magic or something, you be smiley when she is home. It will be a trip to remember Cheers tom.

Youre a pretty smart man . We are glad you are on this forum . BTW , when you get through you are going to have The Batman version of a Scura !

Bikes are like women, it is easy to let a good one go then regret it later, especially when someone else is getting all the fun.

Since learning about the oil problem in V11's, I've tried hard to get mine to show ('97 Sport-i) by working it with hard first gear climbs on a fairly steep hill- and I've not been able to see a flicker. All the same, I wanted one because that's just how we roll.

Bravo! Now one question... Will these fit, and are they a good idea for Sport 1100s?

Have either of you blokes with clutch problems tried using the adjuster on the arm at the back of the gearbox? If the adjuster is set so that it's too far in the arm will be too far back and may be jamming on either part of the frame or the swingarm and preloading the thrust bearing and pushrod. pete

wow. i'm not a "signer-upper" usually, but docc's suggestion of the AMA seems like a good way to go, despite me chucking their constant junk-mail to me... For comparison, AAA has the add-on option for family, so i could mooch off my wife's membership and pay less to joing, but then you need to upgrade to the higher level of service for it to cover bikes ($135?/yr?). ok, data point. But since i've never had to get trucked out of a bad spot to this point in my life, thats many decades of service i would have paid for, so therefore many thousands i would have spent in dues. So touche.... i gambled and have "won" so far to this point in life, since now i could pay cash for a tow and still come out way ahead. But the AMA deal... $49 and includes the 35 mile roadside towing/assistance, including canada and alaska. Not going to usually find that 35 miles will help much in Alaska, but still not a bad start. My old KTM up there is not the machine that i have the most faith in, and it doesn't get as much attention from me because it doesn't live in my shop each winter for some annual coddling, although i love it, .... so a tow option is a mildly comforting notion for the beast up north every year. Then, I'm usually on a bit of time schedule when i'm on my longer road trips and away from work/family, so its also comforting to know that if i can't fix something efficiently, then i could tow to a nearby town and shop, and airline home for work, then sort out things from there. Never has happened yet, and not planning on it, but again, mildly comforting. But then the AMA deal includes RV's and trailers? Crazy. The RV option from AAA as i recall is considerably more than the standard AAA deal, so seems like helluva deal from AMA. probably some catches in the fine print, but if the price is that low for something i hope to never use, then its a win.

We would have loved to be there, but were dealing with a death in our (aviation) family.. The spine raid rocks.

Kathi waves at the 129photos guy on the Cherohala. I was focused on and praying that leaky rear tire would get us safely to Wheeler's! Bill
