I have emailed Moto International to get the date for their open house. I'll pass on the info when I get it. There is a possibility that a good portion of the road to Mt Baker may be gravel from a washout and flooding last year. Chuckanut is fun on a quiet sunny day. Mt Baker Rd

I have to agree with Steve and I second his motion for going out riding - in 2 weeks for me. I'm off flying right now but i plan on hitting the roads on 2 wheels when I get back home. Keep up the good work Jaap and thanks to everyone for some stimulating if conflicting conversation!! Cheers Jim

I think maybe it is global warming is heating everyone up too much and getting them in a warring mood!!

You are right. In my haste I noted the street he lived on as his home town - 'Avenida del Catalina de Santa' I think.

You don't be foolin' me now Ryan!! I knows where you live!

ABSOLUTELY!!

Salvador Dali was born in Catalina, Spain but I think that the naming of Jason's daughter would be the domain of Jason and his wife. I prefer to leave any explanations up to them. It is a very beautiful sounding name.

Oh my God!! Kiddie porn on V11LeMans!

I like that idea. I'll spread the idea around the valley and see what comes up.

Best wishes to you, your wife and most especially your new daughter!!

You 'humour' us backwards Canucks when you say things like that!!

The Guzzi pegs are mounted with an eccentric adjustment so they can be lower, forward, up or back about half an inch each way. If the Sport 100 porchops are the same as the V11 then they will not lower your ground clearance unless you adjust it so.

Mine havn't. Do you mean snap when you crash or in normal use?

maybe we need to get Chuck Norris on the case. If anyone can find those signs Chuck can!! Young Chuck Norris!

... or perhaps 129 is Italian for 69?

They may already be doing that as MGNA no longer imports bikes for Canada. That is being done by Piaggio Canada as of April 2.

If you keep making posts like that TX then Jaap is going to make you a moderator!!

You may be interested in the ergal footpegs listed on the Moto Guzzi website. I can't get the USA site to come up but they are shown here on the UK site. I have a set on my V11 and I really like them as the bike shifts much better - more positively and crisply. I also prefer solid footpegs as they protect you and your bike better in a fall or tipover (my opinion - other opinions differ). Guzzi Accessories

Here we go again. Another dead parrot thread!!! Please don't kill any more parrots!!

P*&&*@g down rain again tonight. Five degrees C. Headed north to go flying this Sunday. I may just look forward to snow!!

Chilliwack had that much rain in January alone - the second wettest January on record. Still wish I had made it but will try hard for Feb. Van - there are another 3 V11's here in the Wak that will probably come along too. Methinks we should start setting a date so we can get our time off planned!! I'll probably start PM'ing soon to through out some ideas!

I was going to drive there but I had to go fix a leak at a tenants townhouse. They didn't close the window properly - idiots.

My Rosso Mandello's chin pad is the 'squishy' type.

Careful Ben! There are a lot of people on this forum that are from Europe and they may not want you forming their opinions for them.

Looks like Rossi is doing OK driving the F1 Ferrari but Max doesn't think so!! Rossi's drive - Max's comments!!
