Bella! Stupendo! There's just something about that red V11 that looks familiar... Oh! That's why!

The 1992-1999 Honda CBR900RR had a 16" front with a 17" rear. I ride 16s on my EX500/GPz500R. As to tires, Bridgestone just upgraded their classic bias BT45 to make the BT46. As you can see, they had a certain brand of motorcycle in mind.

Exact;y! And this "could" be the bike, but we know how well Piaggio Group listens to consumers... Posted this elsewhere and just could not resist re-posting it here.

Not a V11, but is certainly preferable to the tepid V85s on sale. OK, so it's a design exercise. Let's call it "Homage a LeMans...???" Oberdan Bezzi is a stylistic genius, and his site is chock full of eye candy.

Get a glass-topped digital food scale from Amazon. Less than $15. I use one to weigh out green coffee beans before I roast them. We have two of these. Zero problems. https://smile.amazon.com/AccuWeight-scale-Multifunction-Capacity-Tempered/dp/B013WU0CZW/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=accuweight+scale&qid=1592254359&sr=8-2

I decided to keep it simple so as to avoid exceeding my abilities. For those ever important Odyssey voltage checks, it finally struck me that I am a fumble-fingered fool and do not like fiddling around or dropping things. So, a couple of banana plugs, an SAE charging connector, a touch of solder and heat-shrink insulation and I can now plug-n-play to check the voltage.

Indeed. Having used hammer and vise to replace the U-joints in my '61 and '63 Chevys, their beauty is their simplicity - but also their weakness. Can't help but suspect that there is a front axle from a Fiat Uno or similar that could be made to work. But, I am not Allen Millyard and no lathe lives in my garage.

'Spose it's a little too much to ask for a fabbed up CV joint drive shaft... but actually, the V11 shaft changes angularity far less than the front CV joints on cars.

And the Isle of Man, for good grief! WWHT?

This vid just popped back up on YouTube. Always worth a watch...and listen.

That was a much, much younger Bill Murray - that's what that was...

Do they sell it in a V11-sized vat for dipping?

The listing is expired and searching the entire Los Angeles area CL turns up zero.

Took the round OEMs off and put on a pair of $10 eBay sorta-flag-shaped mirrors. Better, but still not "there." Saw some Ken Sean bar ends on Amazon. Picked up a pair and found that the bungs would not fit in the alloy bars. So, ordered some Delrin rod and fabbed some up. The Ken Sean rubber was too soft in any case. Wider, but better view on the freeway/interstate/motorway/auto strada/Autobahn. And., they fold when parking in the garage. Still vibey, so I will probably drill a small hole and pour some epoxy or maybe polyester resin in the mirror bodies to change their harmonics.

I say flush the thread as it is outside the purview of the forum.

NOS. If so, $19.95 USD starting bid plus shipping from Massachusetts. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Moto-Guzzi-flywheel-new/114238191085?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

Excessive force has never been taught. Has it been practiced? Of course! Sufficient force to overcome resistance is certainly taught, as it is both sound reasoning and should be common sense. Having said that, homicide is certainly committed by some police officers. Why? We will never know. Some of them were never fit to carry badge and gun. Others might have been under a load of stress, on drugs - prescription or otherwise. Either way, and no matter the cause, intentional homicide should net one a controlled environment for the amount of time that judge or jury decides.

1. America is not a democracy. It is a constitutional republic. 2. A tragic case of a bad arrest does not condemn an entire nation. 3. Justice will out. 4. FYI: carried badge and gun for 31 years. That is not taught. 5. Turn. The. Media. Off. Unless you enjoy having your thoughts programmed into you. Next critique....

Weasels! It sounds like what they (Piaggio Group lawyers) are saying, in effect, is "Wasn't ours, didn't own it, don't hafta' fix it. Piaggio or Bart Simpson?

Prego!

At only 750 RPM, that trans input shaft (cam chain and everything else that rotates) is accelerating and decelerating, much more rapidly - with alternating contact surfaces being impacted, with each cylinder firing event. Deep thinker Kevin Cameron at Cycle World writes of this. As I see it, far better to use the (L) idle screw to get that back up to 1050-1100 or so. This "clanking" can be heard from any internal combustion engine once operating RPM falls below design parameters. For now, raising the idle would seem to be the easiest way to quiet the whole mess down.

He's in Italy. It's the law.

You can find them on eBay. Silver here, but I believe the man can powdercoat them red for an extra charge. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Moto-Guzzi-Custom-VALVE-COVERS-Big-Blocks-Square-Fin-Heads-1100/131655506299?hash=item1ea747997b:g:4S4AAOSwkZhWTMhH

Staintunes. Fortunately, came with the bike.
