Up here in Canada we are working on legislation for the right to arm bears....

Didn't you build it Martin?

Just remember that competition makes for a better product and also that those millions you will make can be considered as us bikers out here in the world providing funds for R&D. I hope to here of great things from both of you!

I installed the same kit on my V11 and the fit was very good. I had a few problems getting the brake pedal adjusted but once all was in place it works very well. I really noticed an improvement in shifting with them installed and I hope that in the event of a tip-over the solid pegs, engine guards and handlebar ends will take the brunt of the shock and minimize the damage. I don't want folding foot pegs on any of my bikes again (excepting my dirt bike).

Gee Tex. I'm not sure any of my guns are worthy! Or should I say I'm not sure if any of my in-laws are worthy!!!

Scary Rossi? Francis Spice? We'll think of something Brian!

I have been told that it is coming. The schedule for shipping should be known in a few days. Hope it gets here in time for the bike show!!!!!!

The Breva 2 valve 2 plug motor. The 4 valve will last leave the factory in the MGS-01 Corsa and then there shall be no more. Your drool will henceforth cease until a watercooled 4 valve comes along!

I prefer not to hide behind a silly name when I bid. By the way, I really love that 4V engine. I'll be getting in touch with you about some engine guards and other knowledge soon.

Lemmy is the only man brave enough to have performed a duet with Wendy O'Williams! Also he is able to say his career spans over 6 decades - he started performing in the late 50's.

Harry Belafonte - "Mary's Boy Child" Oh no! When my wife Mary hears this she will be so smug! At least I share my birthday with Jimi Hendrix!

No because the japanese bike already comes with the bic pen spring! Cheers on your fix. I will be letting Gord know at Valley Moto Guzzi. He likes this kind of fix too!

We don't do fireworks much in Canada but I will probably take the V10 for a ride at midnight! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I,ll have to PM you to let you in on the secret. It wasn't hard with the right signature though.

Darn! (notice I was polite and didn't say 'damn') I missed those threads! Any chance you remember which ones they are?

Yes but I don't know if it will be called a Moto Guzzi when I'm done!

No kidding! I'm glad the weight is down low. Time to start surfing ebay for accessories!

There are many fees besides duty to pay. Check ouy these websites. registrar of imported vehicles vehicles permissable If it isn't on the list it will be difficult.

I don't know if there is a performance gain with the single plate clutch and flywheel but there are some lighter flywheels available. They allow the motor to rev quicker but you lose some low rpm momentum. Get the PCIII and pipes first! How do you like the new rear fender?

I think Brian G likes the look too!

I have my Centauro home finally and I took it out for a first ride last night. Wow does it have power! I know it has a Mistral crossover and LaFranconi pipes but I never imagined it would be as quick as it is! I read up in Guzzioligy that it has Carrillo rods and forged pistons. I don't need any convincing! Will get some pics and video later!

Enzo's forum seems very angry sometimes. I made some comments on one of the threads and was attacked in a very childish way that has turned me off the forum ever since. If you don't know me don't tell me who I am! (you can tell me where to go and what to do when I get there - as if I would listen). I am still all for his forum but since it has nothing to offer me I have no intentions of visiting it in the near future. Cheers Enzo. Carry on!

Try "America - the Book" from the people who bring you the Daily Show with Jon Stewart!

Nice.....but too bad it's the Serie - which they don't make yet!
