Ah Italy.

I always tell the insurance and licensing people the exact cc's. "Its smaller so less dangerous!"😏

Would that include the little padded bit? If so that might not be too steep. I was quoted a price for a starter cover that blanked out my memory and had me thinking "bondo on the back side" repeat ad infinitum....

Advertising and agendas have taken over the airwaves and streaming site algorithms try to bend your aesthetics rather than follow them. I've been getting the most pleasure from streaming concerts and albums with an ad-blocking attachment. I still break out the vinyl every now and then, but I'm usually too lazy to go that way. My ears are kinda shot, but analog still sounds more " real" to me....

We need to surreptitiously slip into some tech company and get them to cobble together the Moto Guzzi V11 Hydrogen fuel cell conversion kit, but, of course still keep relays and fuses for the nostalgia....

Copa into Vespa; a good transfiguration if the police are sniffing around, or maybe the Incredible Hulk getting his cool back?...🤔

I kinda wish that Husqvarna was better represented in my neck of the woods; I think the 401Svartpilen (sp?) looks like a fun city scrambler....back road thrasher...something.

The Honda 125 looks like a real fun piece to just put around town. Since I'm 6ft.+ and 250+- lbs, the comedy factor would also be included...

Hide all the shop rags and track the hand prints?....

I straightened out a few things in the garage, does that count? I was exhausted from a rough weekend....

Yeah, but it took me a couple of decades to remember how to take s!&t less seriously...🙃

Wow and, and,and...

+1 on the v50. There was one on BaT a while back and I was really tempted, but was brought back to earth by "financial responsibility"...😏

That sure is "purdy",and if I were that deep I'd be greasing the driveshaft...

I've only allowed two passengers on my Guzzi; one, my step-mother on her 80th birthday (a cool ol' gal who has passed on, and the other one of the few loves of my life and she's gone on to the joy of married life to someone else. I don't blame her; I've still not "grown up"!...

ATGATT?! My oh!

I guess I'm a ween. I've seen the light and immediately baked off.

Somehow I like it even better now...

When a failure happens close to home or a glorious perfectly executed event happens; yes the new long awaited Police album is released:"IDIOSYNCRONISITY"! It all happened at the same time!

I guess I'm getting old enough to just keep my stuff and not buy anything new. I'll vote my conscience, but I'm tilting towards letting the "Utes" make their own dystopian future with me stock piling relays and spark plugs and filters and, and, and, and.....

What castle?

I almost pulled the "lock-blocker"( pun intended) stunt too. Now I just pay better attention most of the time....

Yeah that's a unique color. I once tried to get some pieces of a former BMW painted the 1950s Norton "polychromatic grey" and gave up, but that was 25 years ago...

1962-'72 (12 volt) Volvos (PV544, 122, 1800, 140s Nostalgia card played.

I usually go by feel unless it seems like something important. Then when I have to get it apart the next time I invariably say to myself "what!@%&ing monster tightened this?" Haven't stripped or broken anything for about 10 years though....
