The snow has cleared and a recent rain has removed the tons of salt left on the road. The V11 was rolled out of its warm bed to make this video commemorating the start of a new season. Remember to like and subscribe. Bwahaa! 2004 V11S

Yes, yes. I dated a girl in college whose "moment of inertia [was] centered around her shoulders " . . .

Got her back yesterday - definitely feels more compliant and supple with the Belray 5w High Performance fork oil. Adjusted the compression and rebound a just half-turn stiffer to compensate for the new oil, and seems very good for now. Kept the stock Marzocchi springs, and still seems fine for my 190lbs. I set up the sag and pre-load 5 years ago when i got the bike and have not changed it. Thanks for all the help and input everyone. Incidentally, had a great time talking with Roland at The Spare Parts Co in Philly about everything Guzzi. They've been open since '81, and knew Dr. John Wittner well.

All that automation and someone still needs to fret the bass . . .

speaking of good carpenters, this turned up a couple of years ago on the geman forum. I don't know if it has been here yet. If not, it should have.

My rear end is a bit more faded (and scratched) than I prefer, and I would like to get it paited. Anyone know the color code for the gray part on the rear? Torstein

Not quite what was thinking about for Rosso Mandello nummer 003 😁. Would like to try to have it looking as close as possible to original 😉

Her moment of inertia is centered around her shoulders.

Those fuel cap solutions look very good !

Docc, my Rosso has a December 2000 build date.

There is a certain purity to the 2000 model year. This was pre-Aprilia ownership, the first full year of V11 Sport production, all 2000 V11 spine frames were RedFrame Sports, and the only year that the total Moto Guzzi spine frame production could be derived (AFAIIK). I cannot wait to lay eyes (and ears!) on this Pressureangle Special Sport . . .

Back with my reference materials, I stand corrected. @Pressureangle's 2000 Sport, 112174 is #1064 (of 3,529 Sports built for the model year 2000).

And now for something completely different... Someone showed me this earlier this evening. I thought it might be useful information towards solving the problem of how to play Rachmaninov if your hands are too small. It seems it is easy: all you need is a good carpenter and a capable assistant.

I've added this info to the first post in this thread as well. | Plates are $85 US, shipped to North America. International is plus actual shipping. I've sourced 2mm longer bolts (12 short, not 4 long) for the upper pan to keep thread engagement length through the plate and additional gasket. I've sourced Viton O-rings for the oil cooler pipes; I discovered mine were harder and uncomfortably loose in the bores. I've stocked upper and lower gaskets I can include all of the above for $135 US including shipping to North America. International shipping is $125 US plus actual shipping.

That's a nice piece of jewelry! Only 105 Octane should pass thru that gate into the Greenie...anything less is not worthy!

I have number 003. It's in Geneva now but en route to Oslo, Norway this summer (2011)
