I'm the one who brought and rode the V11 and 14 Custom. My son Gus rode the Norge and our buddy Tim rode his Harley. We packed them tight in that configuration for less wind drag at 75 mph. with 175# tongue weight. Was it overloaded, YES. Tim and Gus rode the cruisers on the way home, took off almost 2000# towing weight. SKIP

I have to concur!!!

Well, the first [KSR] is in the books and what a GREAT gathering it was. I believe the head count was around 12, a good showing I thought. Three of us Michiganders trailered four bikes down to Kentucky (Norge, V 11, 14 Custom, and a Harley ). We had a nice ride Friday afternoon that included a stop at the dam on the lower end of Lk. Cumberland and then back to the State Park Lodge restaurant for dinner with a wonderful view of Dale Hollow Reservoir. Saturday it rained but we made the best of it by having a Tech Session held in the garage at the Park rental house that Joe and others stayed at. I brought my two lap tops with Guzzi Diag loaded, along with the diagnostic cables, break out harness, and multi-meter. After a little back and forth with the hook-ups we got connected and were able to read the ECU's on mine, Joe's and Kales V 11's. Very interesting to be able to read some of the sensors and the varying CO values. Tech Session was a success. Big thanks to Bill for getting the tab on Saturdays dinner, also for handing out commemorative 2023 Guzzi tyre pressure gauges. Thanks Doc for the air screw O-rings and the specialty (cool) front torque arm bolt. Thanks to Gene and his very top end Snap-On Diagnostic code reader(he cleared trany codes on my truck) run's great, and Kale for a complete set of wheel bearings. Great Big Thanks to Joe and everyone else who came, contributed and participated in this wonderful event. I was truly gifted. SKIP

Thanks Pete, That's interesting to know about the pulse timing related to CO trim. I was always curios as to how the trim affected engine performance. Very Cool. SKIP

Thanks for the video Chuck. I've been trying to get to a Spine Raid for the last few years but things got in the way. So fingers crossed, "this is the year". SKIP

Not to worry, I am also bringing the TPS harness.

I was hoping to hear about the ultralight project. Well, maybe a fly-by then.

"Double Stoaked"

I was amazed with the Casswell product line, especially the tank sealer. Great info.

Looks perfect Joe, Counting the days. SKIP

Hey Joe, Thanks for all the help/info. We reserved a lakeview room at the Lodge. How far is that from your cottage work shop?, walking distance? I'm going to bring a spare 02 SCURA ECU, connecter cables and computer. If there's time maybe we can play with some V-11 tuning mods to go along with those Decent Tune Ups. SKIP

Hey Doc, Been really busy, but thanks. The cradle can be rotated for either access depending where you want your balance point. Greatly increases stability. Smiles, SKIP

Great, Thanks Joe You answered all my questions and have given all the info I was looking for. We'll leave early Thursday, 11 hr. drive so we will trailer the bikes and get a room at the lodge. Are we riding on Sunday or is that when everyone packs up and heads home ? Thanks Again Happy Easter All SKIP

Myself and two others are thinking about joining the KSR. Is the Mary Ray Oaken Lodge the base of operation ? Reservations need to be made so let me know. Looking forward to some good times. THANKS SKIP

Really love the sound of that tri-radial, exultant choice, so much nicer than a 2-stroke Rotax. One could say it has a proper sound to it, very easy on the ears. not all that high pitch wine. Looks like it will be a true delight to get it up in the air for an hour and get the feel for it, Lucky Man ! SKIP

It's Wonderful to see that you do what you do. Inspiring for sure. I'm thinking about a project just like that. Is it considered an ultralight ? SKIP

It's winter here my friends. Not riding my V-11, rather my MXZ. Put 144 miles on this weekend in some crisp, clean and sunny, cold air. .

I made a cradle for under the oil pan which more than doubles the the stability, and a strap to the ceiling.

Yes , Very similar indeed. The new V100 has many possibilities, maybe an optional sport package with full lower fairing, drop bars and rear seat cowl.

Hey Joe, I have the same set-up on my 02 Lemans, they are held on by zip ties, work quite well and you cant see it like the huggers, (which I'm not particularly fond of). Nice, clean, and open.

Winners fountain, F1 Belle Isle circuit Detroit, MI Great ride with my son Gus. Three weeks ago. It say's no wards but, WTH SKIP

Well... I installed the shift extender and took my 02 Lemans for a ride yesterday. WOW... what a difference, definitely the biggest single improvement. Before I would have to consciously shift every gear so as not to miss a shift. Now it shifts quickly, cleanly, and precisely into every gear, and that is both up/down. Feels like a completely new and different trans.. Thank you Chuck for all the work, Phil for the " INGENUITY " SKIP

Nice work Chuck, I'm familiar with the process. I design, build, race iceboats. I appreciate you taking time out of what you really love doing and making those parts for us. SKIP

This is what I have, is this a stock shift lever ??? Just ordered the extender. SKIP
