Tons of accessories. Low miles. Not sure I'd be worried about to much. Price seems reasonable. I'm just not sure who would want a silver bike... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Am I going to be the first one to say this, what kind of monster leaves their bike outside?

That's the Mini Guppy, built on a StratoCruiser. The perspective doesn't show it but that plane is tiny compared to the building. TINY. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aero_Spacelines_Mini_Guppy

WWII Blimp hanger in Tillamook, Oregon. Now home of the Air Museum. I'll put the video together in a few days and you get to see the scale of this place. About 15 stories tall. 7 acres of floor space. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tillamook_Air_Museum Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't baby mine and I don't think I've gotten mileage that low. docc will be along shortly to renin to to give it a proper tune up. Of course you didn't take off the airbox, right? That could cause the lower fuel economy.

Might want to also put it in the classifieds section. Not everyone checks this thread.

Are you using the "choke" on the Guzzi? The HD may have a built in enrichener.

It's the same price as they are asking for the Tenni.

I still contend that the "cheap" oil is nearly identical to the "premium" oil so is it a case of paying more for no reason? What am I getting for 2x as much cost? Additives for a clutch and gearbox that I don't need? Mobil 1 is rated for 500˚ regardless of additives.

Keep in mind that this oil is full synthetic so not actually cheap, just cheaper than buying it by the quart. And way cheaper than what they charge for "motorcycle" oil.

The problem is that you can only lean one way...

Not sure why you were naughty and not allowed to post a photo. Semi-synthetic motorcycle oil or full synthetic car oil? Hmmm... interestingly motorcycle oils are typically designed for gearbox and/or clutch, neither of which are an issue with the MG. Which makes the MG engine oil requirements more like a... car.

I know you knew what you were doing, the note was for other people. Looking good!

On one of my Bultacos there is a hose that loops under the tank at the front to allow the fuel to drain equally from both sides. Typically this is a solid hose and you have to pull it and gas leaks everywhere when you remove the tank. I cut the hose in half and put a quick disconnect inline. https://www.motionpro.com/motorcycle/tools/category/quick_disconnect_couplings/ Theoretically you could do this with the V11 tank. Not ideal but it could work.

very nice! notice how the cuts now break up the monotony? Now that you've played with the transitions the rule of thumb is to not use too many different transition types in a single video. If you only have one mount on the bike try flipping the camera around just to give a different perspective. This is on my list to get. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0156MFBI2/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I2OWP63NFS443Z&colid=26Y5AVMGX9WC6

I think why oil is so contentious is that there are slight differences between the formulations. It would be pretty hard to destroy a motor given you use the correct weight and change it as proscribed. It's when you don't change it frequently enough that you can cause real problems. There are always edge cases to by scenario and we love to live on those edge cases but the reality is we don't. If significantly cheaper car oil (full synthetic!) makes me change the oil more frequently then that's all the better.

Here's another view from my buddy's bike. And more of the show:
