Rain and moisty in Denmark right now. Last year at the same time we had tons of snow, so no bitchin' You all have an enjoyable weekend and happy Thanskgiving to all you Yanks! Søren

Mighty clever thingie, Baldini.... Søren

:D Good one, Mal. I'll let Mrs. Tikkanen know... The Scura should be ready in Spring, inshallah. It's a bit poof to go to a Guzzi rally by car, so Black Betty will be on the road, goddammit. Clutch/gearbox issues haven't yet been solved as my wrenchmonkee is still waiting for the bits to arrive from bella Italia. @Guy: I will be there for sure, no matter how, so count me in, please. You all have a nice weekend with plenty of food and vino. Cheers Søren

Just proves to show that Norwegians are bloody loaded! Anywhere else in the world you would have a ferry crossing. Not jealous....not all.. Norway is one of the most beautiful places to visit; the countryside is a bit like BC, Canada with endless roads and beautiful fiords. Mindtaking scenery is to expect; only make sure tha your creditcard is loaded. Have never ever visited such an expensive countr before! Søren

Count me, Monsieur Macguzzi! After 16 years in the armed forces I've seen my fair share of forrests and have been camping in God's free nature so now I'm a comfy bastard who likes my bed. And indoors, preferably. Jaap and I have talked about either catching the ferry from Ijmuiden/Netherlands (two fairies on a ferry??) or do a hard routine and drive up through England and meet the Lewis´, Foodys, Mal, Magnus and anyone else who would like to join. Roll on May, we need some tarmac under the wheels! BR Søren

Hi, Mr. Beemer I only have very bad experiences with The Tank Shop. You gotta be P A T I E N T as in 'patient', in fact very patient. He promised to fix me a tank for my Scura and one year later (1 year) he called me and said the tank would be ready in a month or so. It wasn't. In fact to this date I haven't seen or heard anything from the good John Williams so I would rather look in the alutank.de direction. Just my two cents based on my experience with Tank Shop. Cheers Søren

Have faced the same kind of people several times so I'll chime in, too. One bloke asked: "Why do you ride that mediocre piece of s***"? and I replied: "'Cos that's the bike I want". Period. Could have bought a 1000cc Japper, an Aprilla Mille or a Duc 999 for the same amount that the Scura costs, but I didn't. I wanted the Scura. Fecking simple, isn't it? You all have a good one Cheers Søren (currently bikeless thanks to a FU'ed clutch.... )

Hi Pete, I have the same problem as you so I've decidded to get som some thinner and remove the old paint. A splash of matte black and I'm happy. If you're loaded get a CF cover; costs a fortune but looks ace. See this link: CF alternator cover Cheers Søren

Good to see you back in the fold, Slavomir And good luck with your 1100 Sport, it's a cracking good looking bike and I'm looking forward to seing the end result. Best of luck Søren

Not riding at all right now as the Scura has blown the clutch and is now parked at the mechanics in Copenhagen. Will be expensive! Feck....

I'm sitting with the biggest smile on my face right now (pants on, mind you!): This is REAL racing; minor teams bringing their love and pride to the track and kicking the s*** out it. Lovely! This picture says it all: Link to races "Are you hanging on, mate"? Excellent! Miss the sidecars in todays GP scene, they were always a guarantee for superb action back in Eighties. Pity they don't race in the 'big' races First time I see Guzzi powered sidecars, great!! Thanks for sharing and good luck with your team. Søren

Hi Alan Try Duillo Agostini or Teo Lamers; both companies have a very good reputation amongst users on this homepage. have dealt with both companies and have received my goods on the spot both times. Both very professionel in customer service. Good luck :-) Søren

Oh my f%%€ goodness! You can almost smell the Castrol engine oil and hear the roar from these classic machines. Damn; that's real bikes IMO. The Magni Guzzi finished a very respectable 7th according to the Magni newsletter I received. Well done! Thanks, Slavomir! I'll nick it and post on FB. Søren

I'll just echo what ScuRoo says: Always a pleasure reading your trip reports, Orson. Oh, and happy birtday, my noble man! :drink: Søren

There's a good chance I'll be in Europe next year for an extended time. If that's the case I'd love to do some trackdays in the UK. Just saw an article of your mighty fine Guzzi in the August edition of Classic Bike. Great looking bike, mister G-Gray! Cheers Søren

So good to hearing from you, Martin Good luck with the GW, seems like a splendid project so keep us posted, will ya? All the best Søren

Jeeezuz Christ! One lucky pal he is. And "thanks" to Susan Moore In Her 4x4 for the 'entertainment'..... NOT! Søren

Just returned from my annual trip to Assen, NL, for the WSB and WSS. Once again action packed racing and lots of drama. See pics here: Assen WSB & WSS Cheers Søren

:D Brilliant!

If you need a butler, Euan, just say the word..... Good luck with the moving; hope you'll enjoy the outstanding nature in Mallorca. Søren

Bloody brilliant, John

Mighty fine motor, Trevini Søren

Ahh, those Puch days I had a red Puch VZ50: Søren
