Waiting on my unis from Montreal, but there's still plenty to do.

It's in the shadow above the uni sleeve. It's there, but I havent checked its snugness yet, but will. It will get some deoxit treatment too.

Getting down to the nitty gritty...easy access now for uni and bleeding clutch. I'll replace this front uni also. I can't imagine this thing being greased much over the years. Plus it just doesnt feel as smooth as it should be.

Another fine example of a well cared for V11. Original owner making room for a new V100. This bike looks vaguely familiar... Two nice V11's now for sale in this area of the country, both original owners. https://greenbay.craigslist.org/mcy/d/green-bay-2000-moto-guzzi-v11-sport/7604237442.html

Too late, I started the Jay Leno account.

Dang, I better use my glasses. I know he is a big collector, but wondered why he wouldn't go more incognito. 🤔 One letter off wouldnt be the way to do it. Seems like the price is climbing a bit...lets see how crazy this gets.

Well I guess everyone has been able to keep those old unis lubed and slippery. Placing order now.

Mark Knopfler is one of the bidders. He is a big collector of bikes and cars.

I'm waiting for one still in the crate...

My understanding is that it could be registered in the US as long as it meets the CARB and DOT safety standards and EPA requirements that were in effect at time of manufacture...and there are no open recalls in the USA on this model. Piaggio can supply that notice with the appropriate VIN.

Placing an order for myself and one other member for universal crosses. CR 15/22x50.2 Made in Italy. Since the Canadian supplier deals only in wholesale, a gentleman there will package and send through UPS or Canadian Post as a favor. It is not their everyday method of doing business, and if he was deluged with single orders my guess this deal would end. Units are around $35 US plus shipping... This is the only place I have found that has them in NA. They are available also in Romania...if you happen to be in the area.

I found them in Romania...Montreal is still closer.

Those are the ones he says are in stock...CR15's. I sent him the pic for confirmation.

I just got the Stelvio last week...no time to get into it yet. Who do you think I am?...Speedy Linguini? I'll keep questions about that on the proper page.

V11

Cleaned up very nicely!

I've got one axis on the rear that doesn't articulate smoothly...did a search for this problem but didn't come up with much. Are there replacement parts available...like needle bearings and cup?

Are the forces the same on bolts at both ends of the rod? I have the aft one out and it was dry as a bone...no sign of lube. I wonder it that falls into the same need of upgrade as the forward one.

I'm sure this has been asked, but I'm a new guy. You can have different but comparable relays on the same block, right?

Comparable bikes just sold for around $6500. One beautiful Rosso sold here in a day and a Connecticut Nero sold this week, both low mileage. The Nero took some time to sell. I was surprised at that.
