....don't you mean magic welder? I can't see anything!

If they were to address the safety issues then Mosport would probably be the most Euro track in North America. It was the only track that Mike Hailwood ever enjoyed over here! I really miss the times I raced there. Cheers jim

That is definitely sloppy welding. Mine came with much better welding but did have the same dull (very dull) finish. My other problem was weld splatter in the threads of the O2 sensor fitting. I had to buy a thread cleaner to fix it up. If you want to get it polished this winter let me know as it will clean up very nice and I have a friend who polished stainless. PS Did you get my email? I have you on the SradaVarious list now!! Cheers Jim

It sounds to me that Al Gore and David Suzuki are not delivering on their promise of global warming. What can you expect from a politician and a scientist with no credentials anyways!!

What was the time? Oh yes. Mar 24, 2004, 08:27 PM.

Everyone has given great advice but I would also suggest checking your steering damper. If it has leaked any oil then it will work intermittently and make corenering very interesting. Try removing it and see how it feels. Cheers Jim

Some people like to put their ducks in a row. This guy puts his geese in a row!

I'll sell ya this Ben! At least it's Italian. Bought it on ebay last week!

Ahh yes. I suppose you needed a full cock on your V11 as a pet cock would not be able to handle the fuel injection!

Last month, scientists released the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer. Men should take a concerned look at their beer consumption. The theory is that beer contains female hormones (hops contain phytoestrogens) and that by drinking enough beer, men turn into women. To test the theory, 100 men drank 8 pints of beer each within a 1 hour period. It was then observed that 100% of the test subjects: 1) Argued over nothing. 2) Refused to apologize when obviously wrong. 3) Gained weight. 4) Talked excessively without making sense. 5) Became overly emotional. 6) Couldn't drive. 7) Failed to think rationally. 8) Had to sit down while urinating. No further testing was considered necessary.

Jaap! Can I say anything about Hawkwind now?

Yeah Van! What gives?

Especially as Moto Guzzi is shaft drive!!

There are some on ebay from time to time. I think that the Guzzi cap is the same as the Ducati cap but someone should verify this.

Yes I do detect a hint of the Roman in him!! Thank God he's not north Korean though!!

Terminate ..... with extreme prejudice!!

Keep a stopwatch by the phone.

In an effort to keep you informed, the definition of each is listed below: "GUTS" is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being assaulted by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to say, "are you still cleaning or are you flying somewhere?" "BALLS" is coming home late after a night out with the guys smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the butt and having the balls to say, "You're next!" We hope this clears up any confusion, Sincerely, The International Council of Manlaws

You can never go to far on this forum unless you are talking about g@*^($ w^%!(&! Tell us more if that is your wish! Orson! Great pictures and great ride. Thank you so much!! Cheers Jim

Big weight on your shoulders, eh! Having to take a lap top and a camera and posting pictures and updates every three hours!! We are all pulling for ya Andy! You can do it!

You are on the list!!

Valley Moto Guzzi in Chilliwack also have lots of Brembo parts and kits in stock. They all come from Brembo because if you try to get them from Guzzi they are either unavailable or unaffordable!!

I wholeheartedly agree. I would not consider anything else. The safety factor of a new tire - the safety from the better handling of the 160 tire. That is my opinion. The rest is your choice!

Artificial intelligence is becoming more advanced!

Did it look like this? Heterodon platirhinos Eastern Hog-nosed Snake (some believe it to be one of Gods creations)

Well done Maggie. Not many Googlonians are as bright as you. They usually try to post their introduction/trap in the wanted section. You are probably the first to use the member introduction section. Does this mean you have a more advanced artificial brain than the other Googlonians?
