VtwinStorm

Sharp machine.

Niiiiiice bike for not a lot of money.

I will test this on a safe and legal track day. 😁

You know your Midgets! Yep! 😆

Nice Jaguar, Docc! I would add photos from my phone, but I don't have super tiny images...I will try when I get home in the morning...

Hasn't happened to me yet in 6 plus years of ownership...but I also never rush my shifts. Love this tiny sports car.

I'm 6ft 1in...I fit in the Midget.... barely.

So is my Mk III MG Midget. 😁

Few things look so English as one of those old red phone booths.

Well, I'm on a waiting list...when they pop up, I'm getting a pair.

Guess what I'm ordering when I get home? 😆

Now, if I can only find a new set of chrome Napoleons...

Guzzimax, you more than live up to your name. I do think a Guzzi Daytona would really look nice in that flock of Eagles...

Griso pics are never gratuitous. Sharp machine...

Proud, defiant, brutish, and elegant. The Moto Guzzi V11 Sport.

Tune up, tune up, tune up...the bike was given a complete service at a Moto Guzzi dealer. Haven't heard her run yet, so no idea if the vibration was smoothed out at that time. They put 18 miles on her (I zeroed the trip meter) and told me she runs beautifully. Until I can ride her, I won't know. Still want the Napoleons...

Scud, are those the Valentin Napoleons? I'm going to just get a pair, just because.

My body is a tank, so it is the bike.

I'm taking off several weeks of vacation this year April-Aug. so I can at least, once a month, ride the White Mountains on the V11 Sport, or my Ducatis. The Triumph 1200 is too damned heavy to take on such tight roads. She stays home and slays the highway slabs because she weighs as much as Vermont.

I had a set of fresh Pirelli Diablo Corsa IIIs installed as part of the pre-Winter service. Won't know until I ride her in April/May when the roads are clear of snow, sand and salt.

Nice. I always preferred the 993-earlier air-cooled 911s, myself.

I'd think a 500 Abarth or some Alfa would be more suited, but you like what you like! My two dailes are beat up. A beat up econobox and a beat up little truck. You'd never know of my collection from the shit boxes that I drive to and from work...which, incidentally, allow me to easily put some of my discretionary funds into my fleet of fine European sportbikes. I hate debt, so there you go... So, no judgement here.

Well, I bought a V11 entirely on faith. I didn't want the clunky 5 speed, nor dropping the oil pan to change the oil filter (stupid design, IMO), and more sporty style. I also wanted a big block engine. V11 was really my only choice for a Guzzi. It was a V11 Sport or a LeMans. I ignored the Eldorado, Bellagio, all the V7s, V50, V65, 850/1000 LeMans (too pricey and slow for me). I wasn't interested in anything else for $6k or less. I've only test-ridden a V7 Stone, and came away very unimpressed. Engine was breathless, gearbox clunky, the machine rode like trash and it had less than 100 miles on it. I overlooked this, and wanted to add a big block Guzzi to my collection. I chose a Guzzi because they did things differently. That engine with the two cylinders sticking out, the shaft drive, separate gearbox, tube frame, it all was so cool to me. The 100th Anniversary was coming up so the timing kind of made sense, so I said "Why not?" The V11 I bought and shipped to me didn't disappoint. It is an incredible machine, which oozes a certain quiet confident charisma. I think only air-cooled Ducatis do it better. I have big plans for my V11 Sport in 2022...lots of miles in the NH White Mountains! Lots of twisties, and perhaps a trip to Laconia Bike Week to spend time with toothless, special needs riders.

Awesome, my man!

I enjoy riding a V11 because honestly, motorcycles are my therapy. Tough day at work? Feeling down? Lonely? Just plain bored? Ride a motorcycle. It kind of happend to coincide with Guzzi's 100th Anniversary that I began thinking about a Guzzi, but I wanted one that was not a cruiser, but more sporty, and with the big block engine. I always admired the V11 Sport/LeMans from afar. I saw a mint champagne LeMans with 6k on the clock on my local CL, and I started thinking...The price was absurdly high, but it started me down a rabbit hole of reading about the V11-series, and finding V11LeMans.com, and my search began in earnest. I would say, from beginning to end, my search and acquisition of my clean black redframe V11 Sport took less than four months. I thought I would have to wait a year. I cannot wait for the return of Spring so I can ride her again. Amazing machine.
