This group is my best discovery in recent years - The Wanton Bishops. Please give a listen: Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk

I'm baaaaaaackk! 2001 V11S pending

So, I guess I should post a little follow-up on my 2004 Guzzi Le Mans purchase; I flew to Pensacola on March 16th, to ride the bike home. Unfortunately, I made an unpleasant discovery: the odometer was stuck at 8865 miles. I chose to play it safe and returned to the dealership. It turned out they had never ridden it. They were unaware of the issue. So much for all the emails from the sales guy telling me the bike was fit to make the trip to H'town... I decided to fly back to Houston, and to get the bike shipped instead. At this point, I had lost confidence in what I was told. To be fair, the manager apologized, and based on that experience, they would never take another consignment bike from anybody. They shipped the bike to my door at no extra cost. But I only got it on April 17th... Here it is, the very day after it was delivered to me: The bike has been fully checked by MPH Cycles in Houston, and according to them, the mileage is consistent with the bike's inspection. The only consumables that had to be replaced were the battery and the rear brake pads. All the rest was fine. I am now in the process of fixing the odometer, and it is on its way to Joel Levine Inc in Georgia. There is topic about it. I am also registered for the Motorcycle Grand Tour of Texas, so I have done two of the stops. I use the "TripLog" application to keep track of my mileage. It works fairly well, does not consume your battery since you only enter the start, and the end. And because I only do the "manual start", it is free of subscription. I will keep using it even after my Odometer gets fixed. I have done about 400 miles since I got the bike. But I am not riding it until my Odometer is back. The feeling is fantastic. I am back in the 70's when I was just taking my bike and riding with no destination. Just the pleasure to ride a motorcycle.

Modified the initial subject to include Veglia Borletti too.

perfect! thank you sir

Arrive and installed! Thank you for the picture and including all the hardware (including those spacers as they were necessary) - not sure I could have figured it out without the pic~

Doh! Nevermind. It was coming loose but not rising up and out. Need to pry apart. Sorry for the false alarm. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk

Ok so here's the big surprise with Wanton Bishops. To me they sound as authentic American swamp blues as it gets. But turns out they're born and raised in Lebanon! Who would have guessed that?! Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk

Gardening, hell. That guy was lucky not to get permanently planted. I'm reminded of one of our old trail riding maxims that applies equally well to the street, "Ride fast, crash hard."

The only decent one sold, the others(mostly) are covered in corrosion and well over priced(ex Japanese Market ones).

Wow, Samantha Fish is awesome! Thanks for sharing. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk

Listening to this now. A little known (EDIT) Edinburgh group. Epic sound.

This lady is The Real Deal . . .

Techron and an Italian tune-up!..... both on my near horizon

Such a sincere and talented performance. I had something to post with lotsa "boogie" and bass-sass, but it will have to wait . . . Here's one for @LowRyter, Tab Benoit performing "(Bring me my) Medicine" . . .

Doing some research reading the December 1992 issue of AMA Magazine I came across this advertisement. Then it hit me, I too, have been primarily driven by my shaft in a lusty manner for the better part of my entire life! Hmmmmm......here I was thinking it was more complicated then that.

I love that you guys keep pushing my musical limits! That k-Bop that @jetboy posted is so much fun! Here's what I came up with on the "best of" Tab Benoit inquiry (thanks, @LowRyter!)
