  1. The seller said he never rode it. He just had it for display. What did they go for new in 2004? Anybody know?
  2. Nice porch swing!
  3. I figured they wouldn't last long. That was a killer deal. They look like they had the appropriate end fittings to hold a V11, front and rear. I have the exact units, and bought them used also.
  4. If it is the red one in Kansas, it sold this March. Stelvios sit for a while, especially priced high.

  6. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/bJ3NNDwGTePymUvG/?mibextid=kL3p88 Just popped up on my feed. He just listed it here too.
  7. Well that's a trip he'll never forget!
  8. Oh @Tomchri, so that's why you've been banished to the Northland...
  9. I have a friend who is very interested. He and somebody else bidding for the first time will be going against somewhat of a BAT heavy hitter who likes motorcycle gems. This should be interesting.
  10. @LowRyter Looks like a great sky and venue for it. There must have been some whooping and hollering going on! Being local is nice.
  11. Saw it in Marble Falls, TX. I saw the last one in Oregon in 2017 with my oldest daughter. My wife took my other daughter to PA for her first year college move in, so they both missed out. Flash forward to now. That same daughter is a grad student at UT Austin. My wife's birthday was the day of the eclipse. Visting my daughter in Austin and seeing the eclipse was her birthday present. It was a great trip!

    V11 Special

    The word bombastic comes to mind...
  14. Recently arrived in Austin to visit my daughter and see the eclipse. Quick dinner at Home Slice...oh what weather to be on a bike! Nothing like shirtsleeve weather. Just a tad more balmy than the NW. Mecum is a little far for me though, but have at it gents.
  15. Hey @p6x, @PJPR01, looks like you have some place to go this week. https://www.mecum.com/
  16. In my older bevel drive Ducatis and Beemer, I always ran 10/40 winter and 20/50 summer. Now I do the same on the Guzzis. I'll look into this 60 weight stuff more, but I have time. Warm weather isn't here yet.
  17. From what the Beemer Shop told me(Wilburs dealer), you take full wheel travel of 128mm on a V11, measure that from two reference points. That will be with rear in the air at full extension. Then measure same distances with you sitting on it. Your target is 30% of the first number. From there you adjust to get to that 30% number. I wont have time to do that for a couple weeks...life is getting in the way again.
  18. Idk, @p6x, I didn't know that is the case. I just joined a few days ago and saw that. Also a red Quota for sale! I think it was in Kansas. I didn't seem to have any problem joining. I thought it would be interesting to see what's going on around the world.

  20. Guess we know what you're doing this weekend...
  21. If you're wondering what the heck that pic is above, it is the Lehigh fight song. We happen to have two alum in my little family, one being a full fledged ME, so we have a few T-shirts kicking around. Along with Dr John's family, our community here and Lehigh lost a good one.
  22. Thanks for your digging @docc. I talked to the Wilburs dealer In CA. He gave me that info along with proper unweighted and sag measurements. I will do the figuring to check it out. Learning something everyday!
  23. From what I understand, the 100 is the number that correlates to rider weight. It seems too low for my weight. Doesn't feel the best on the road. I'll be checking this stuff out today.
