After the fail at the DMV yesterday I met up with a buddy to catch a quick ride before kid duties kicked in. On the way home the after some "spirited" riding the fuel light went on. I got a few miles from home and it started sputtering. I didn't think I'd make it to the nearest gas station. I wiggled the bike and it kept going. I almost had to push it to the pump. I put on 5 gallons, by far the most I've put in so far. According to my gas app I'm make around 35 mpg (US). I was hoping for more but I'm thinking it will go up after some tuning. The custom painted Panigale sounds as wicked as it looks. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I still had some issues getting into first when hot. Still some tweaking to do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Red. It's in the Classifieds.

I read all of those before I even got the bike. But I doubt I'll get to all of them right away. Tune up for sure. Weather has been weird this year. We hit 70 for the first time in 2017, the latest in the year anyone can remember. So maybe I will have time to put it on the bench. After a secessful trip to the DMV...

So take it off the next time I change the gear oil... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm not sure if you're allowed on here if you don't have a touch of the crazy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Getting an Oregon title. That counts as doing something. Right? As I was leaving the house I noticed the side stand extension was broken. Is that common? I've probably been stepping on it wrong. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tightened down the bolt. Had to use several extensions to get to it from the right side. Shifts better. Let's see how she does when she warms up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had thought of that too. Except it would route the hoses right into the top of the crossover. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Apparently there's a place out of the U.K. you can get touch up paint, even in a small spray can. It looks to be a three part solution with silver base and clear too. I may try it on a small part like a fairing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

On my list now! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

https://youtu.be/XMWcsKDi1Yg So here's the play in the shifter. There's a bolt holding that triangular piece on that's back out to allow play but it's not loose. Should that triangle be solid? Side question, hanging off the back of the gearbox is a bracket with two cylinders. Looks to be brass? What is it for? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Lemans is a VERY nice bike.

That Greenie Attitude comin' out. And with the proper green bikini to match . . . http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=17183 This is all it would take for you to join the Green side...

I'm guessing with all the dead Veglias, someone might have a useless knob laying around.

Any idea where you got the platform jack from? I've been looking for something like that.

Hydraulic oil + hole. Insert A into B. The cylinders are typically low from the factory. Regardless, use the safety bar when lifted.

Knob missing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

you could do as Chuck mentioned and back the bike in. Nice Norton btw. I owned a 75 for several years. Sweet sound. Garage art. Yeah but I need to still jack the bike slightly. I have a worthless scissor jack that I don't trust. Hmm, maybe the stand for the Bultaco might work. The Norton is definitely a piece of garage art now after it threw a rod through the bottom of the crankcase. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not a lot of Greenies listed here yet. Maybe they are more rare than we thought!

Did you update the Greenie Registry with your new bike yet? http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=18887&page=2

I still need to figure out how to change the front tire. I can borrow one of the side lifts which should get it off the ground just enough.

Yes. Turns.

I still need to try it on the Mac. Maybe tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I hate that when that happens.
