  1. I run them on my California ( M.Shocks) ..so does my friend...We got ours here..came in 3 days https://shock-factory.co.uk/
  2. WOW!..Great Price!
  3. The anniversary of Tom Petty's death was 4 years ago yesterday...truly missed
  4. Mick Taylor on Guitar As well...I like the Bass players ?playing as well.
  5. I believe the windscreen is spoken for..just have to send him the shipping costs..but if it falls through later I'll let you know.

    The seat is still available if you want that I can go tomorrow and get the shipping costs if you pm me your shipping address..

    Thanks

  6. U Ship....I've used them a few times..noo problems..prices in line with the rest
  7. I spent 20 years racing desert and hare scrambles nationaly, 10 more just cow trailing.. still didn’t like the way the Hypermotard Handled
  8. I've owned a couple BMW R1100S and R1100RT's, decent bikes...Yawn......Like My friend Mike said..." I had a R1100s...very nice bike, But the whole time I had it no one ever came up and said " Hey! Nice Bike!" Kinda Sums up my feelings.
  9. I had a couple..great motors..one of the ones I had I had pumped..they are good bikes, and easy to maintain... But it is a certain kind of riding style for sure and not a good 2up bike..If you don't ride up on the tank and keep the front end fully weighted into corners you'll find yourself on your can quick..don't ask how I know. Also the front brakes are very touchy at low speeds partly because the front end is so light....a new RCS19 Brembo master helps that some.
  10. I wonder what Derby is like, I did the Ancestory.com thing as a gift from my wife, and many of my Ancestors from the 1600-mid 1800's were from Derby, the rest from Wales, I have been around Europe but not the Uk yet ....someday maybe
  11. Had both and agree, If Im headed into a fast sweeper at 85-90 mph ..my Scura feels planted and predictable in my riding style. As did my Rosso Corsa.
  12. If you like Jazz, big band or Trumpet music..or music in general ..or if you think your getting older like me and want some motivation..this is an excellent biographical film about an amazing guy on PBS which I watched last night..I had no idea as to his level of commitment to his art, or the lifelong background and the depth of experience with other artists. https://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/stream-never-too-late-doc-severinsen-story-documentary/17495/
  13. I've been told its a good idea to mark a new notch on your dipstick just at the bottom of the plate while installing it ..thats what I did.
  14. GU01466434
  15. Like a caged Greyhound..waiting to get out and RUN!
  16. Indeed..the BT 46 works really well on my 1999 Bassa...one of the few front and rear matching tires available in the required size for these type early bikes. I'm not tracking it...lol
  17. I run the Rosso Corsa Diablo II's on all my sport bikes ( better than III's imo) and love them...but I mostly do just tight up and down hill twisties in the mountains near my house and it doesn't rain very often here and I don't go for milage..If I were to run anything else though it would be the Bridgestone T31 Battlax, I do run Bridgestone tires on my California and they feel very good. ...some of my friends around here who I feel are very good riders in the twisties and who also rack up the miles on longer trips swear by the Bridgestone T31 Battlax ..I will most likely try those next.

  19. Sorry Phil..I really enjoy riding mine...They actually are a lot of fun and handle much better than you would expect!
  20. I wouldn't waste my time comparing a V-11 to a Ducati if I were you...just my 2 cents. I have been riding over 55 years, every brand motorcycle Ducati's most of them..and have owned probably a dozen very nice Ducati's, I have one in my workshop now that I spent over $30k and 2-3 years building and it is a beautiful machine...3 years ago I rode my first V-11 and the Ducati has been mostly sitting with a cover over it ever since..My most enjoyable bike to ride at the moment? A $2,500 1999 Bassa V-ll Cruiser..it makes me smile and almost laugh with joy every time I start it up and listen to it...and is a pleasure to ride. It's heavy, kinda ugly, not fast..the linked brakes aren't so great, It handles decent...I can think of no rational reason to give anyone why they would chose it over another motorcycle other than it just makes me smile, It has a soul. Which is the feeling that started my love of motorcycles in the beginning. I think you either love them despite all their imperfections or you don't.. Its not a rational decision.. I
  21. The bike is there on consignment.. I exchanged e mails with the sales person a few months ago when it was first listed. I’ll be very kind… and just say He wasn’t a nice guy. I’d steer clear.
  22. BREMBO PARTS This place has good prices on some Brembo parts like master cylinders and calipers..ships fast and seems like a nice guy on the phone Many of the earlier Ducati's like the 748/996/Monsters use the same stuff as the V-11's https://store.bevelheaven.com/index.php?p=home
