Welcome in the club… Had mine in twice for re-painting (warranty). I still see red pork chops, Scud, thought you were going all in on the dark/Scura side??

Proper job, Lemans - well done, mate. Enjoy your pristine Guzzi, it looks better now than when it left the gates in Mandello.

Welcome in the club of darkness, Scud Think you are tuned in ref. clutch hiccups, bubbling engine paint et al, but beside that it's a fan-fooking-tastic great bike. Not that I'm biased… If you want it 'scura-er' then repaint the pork chops, did it on mine and it's as black as it can be now. Happy riding! Søren

Nope, I run Mistrals and x-over on my Scura and it's a straight forward job. Don't forget to Dyno your bike afterwards, a PC-V is recommended when you start fiddling with the zorst. Happy riding! Søren

You're going the Scura way with those shine CF bits, Kostarika, and how can I can disagree) Also have the Roper plate, so roll on Spring. Pissing down here as always but Spring is lurking around the corner, they say. Have a great weekend and good luck with your bike. Cheers Søren

Love that Daytona of yours, Paul - really make me wet myself. Nice!

My caps are oxidized as well but I give them a good scrub and a splash of black paint now and then. Works for me. Have you tried Gutsibits (http://www.gutsibits.co.uk/pr/Home/index.php) or Reboot (http://www.rebootguzzispares.com/index.html?mainframe.htm&2)? They won't have fancy anodized caps but maybe a good second hand cap. Worth a try. Guzzirider works for Gutsibits so PM him or check their homepage. Cheers Søren

Wrote Dymag regarding three spoke wheels for my Scura but hey never replied. Same happened when I wrote HPS in UK (http://www.bikehps.com), so I'm also heading the PVM way now. Pity, I would die for a pair of Dymags but if they treat potential customers like shite they don't deserve my/your money. DÂS/GB is the way ahead IMO.

Smoked bacon, not rotten, thank you! ;-) I know, haven't been loyal and faithful to this pristine site thanks to too much work and what have you. Sorry! BFG is busy arranging all kinds of carnivals in the UK (true), hence his absence here. Scura time now, battery has been charged, sun is shining so time for first spin this year. Yeeehah!

I bought a pair of BrakeTech rotors for my Scura (front) so give them a try - they are very professional in business and I can only recommend their work. See http://www.braketech.com And yes, that rear wheel is a real fatty, my god it's bulk heavy…. Cheers Søren

Run Mistrals on my Scura and they are good (and loud). Have had no issues with build quality so I can highly recommend them. Agostini sells them.

Beer train? Sounds like the perfect venue for a 2014 meeting…..

Any beer from Belgium will do the trick. Lived there for three years and I tried to drink my way through all the god knows how many brands they have. Mission impossible. Try the Trappiste beers (made by monks), they are strong as f*** and make you go blind. Been there…. Slainthe, skol, prost, servus, salut, cheers, santé - the list is endless. And what a wonderful topic to talk about here during silly season :-) Søren
