  1. It doesn't offend me visually, but I really don't understand the waste of time instead of riding it. They've put the Honda-esque motor on full display, though, wuff. I'd rather see someone F**k up a new bike than a rare classic, though.

  3. When I inherited my dad's V11 last year I always planned on getting rid of these old , purple faded Tekno bags. With them being all worn out I thought it made the bike look bad. Then I realized that these things are rarer than hens teeth! I looked at a few older posts on here but didn't see anything that wowed me. After searching around I found a post on a Harley forum recommending Kiwiw Scuff Cover for black leather shoes to use on faded synthetic bags. At $5 a bottle I figured it was worth a try. What a HUGR difference using this as well as some zipper lube has made on these bags. They don't look brand new, but they look like the rest of the bike - pretty good for it's age! Pics from what they looked like when faded, one coat of the scuff remover on the bags, and then finally 3 coats with the bags on the bike

  8. Seen a lot worse!! I'm left wondering if what I've done to my bikes over the years would invoke the wrath of Pete?

  9. Anyone want to unpack why it’s ugly and stupid because it is both. Part of that is poor, cheap engineering of the platform. The thing is that those faults are exacerbated by the styling changes, not hidden or improved.

  10. I have no problem with it, in fact I encourage it. OEM is by default, a dime a dozen. If someone wants to be creative, why not? It's built for their own preference. Some people follow stick and ball sports when they could follow MotoGP, I'll never understand it, but to each, his own.

  11. At the office, the shop radio plays the same 100 +/- songs every single day. My office is unfortunately upstairs near one of the speakers and so I wear noise cancelling head phones when I'm there. This situation has caused me to really dislike the 2 or 3 old Bill Joel and Phil Collins songs that get played over and over again day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, in particular, Piano Man. The Guzzi connection has redeemed him somewhat in my mind but I still hate the songs.
