At least it isn't Billy Connoly. He rides some real rubbish!!

Try Numbers 31:17-18.

How can he be civil and Italian at the same time? Is that why he lives in Holland?

There is one at least in Canada but it is registered as a Husqvarna.

Anyone from Indiana out there? This thing is worth it at the buy it now price just for the carburetors and engine parts.

Better to be dumped by your girlfriend than to be dumped by your MGS!!

You are a poster baby? Lets see the poster then!!

Does the 25 inane posts all in a flurry give it away? Home til mid January at least. When do those Italian bikers meet next?

More mature!! Now that is the greatest compliment that can ever be paid to a forum!!!

Misprint!! "I think I'll get riding on my Guzzi."

I was gonna go after you next Al, but I have to go clean up my room now.

Who the heck are you?

We'll never be like other forums while we still have you here!!!

Ahhhhh, shaddap and buy a tractor puller!!

OY! Howz that R1 in the snow? Have ya figured out how ta wheelie it yet? Come on out to the Wak someday and I'll take you to a great (bona fide) chip shop where they even have NBA and pretty good pies too (you know the kind I mean)!!!

I was gonna answer you but you ain't on my list of snobs right now!! (my clutch cable is broke on my WR)

I wonder if TX wants to bid on this? Puller

I was hoping to get some sunglasses for Christmas but all I got was socks. Darn!! Sunglasses

Oh, aye!! Yeer rrright about that, laddie!!! I could never understand why take the 'u' out of honour and colour but add an extra 'e' to whisky?

Big Ned, eh!! Will you bash out a big tin helmet to cover the gas tank? Metal plates hanging at the sides? That would be cool!! .....and a rifle of course (oh dang it - you guys can't have them anymore).

I don't understand what you mean by hunting you down. Its almost Christmas and I'm headed off to snow country with the family (I sort of wish I was headed to southern California though - bike weather at Christmas intrigues me). I just couldn't figure out which filter you used. Checked post 33 and it didn't tell me. I use BMC too. The humidity factor is important with respect to paper filters although the test I saw (can not find it yet - still searching) shows all filters have some effect at humidities of 90% and greater. The north west coast here has humidities in the 80 to 100% range for at least half the year and I did check my paper filter on a rainy day and it felt like it was going to fall apart. I appreciate the value of a test like the Duramax test but I don't think it means that the AC Delco was the best filter. Perhaps the best under those test conditions but not a definitive result to me. I hope to find the information on humidity effect on filters. It doesn't mean much to anyone in dry climates but it may help us wet coasters a lot. I'll never use another paper filter again. Edit: found in your first post that you use a BMC. Who would have thought of looking there?

Your ears must have been burning as your name was mentioned today whilst chatting with Gord and Gord.

I am still wanting to know what kind of filter you prefer?

I read the information that your link provided. I noticed that the relative humidity in these tests were all between 45 to 67 percent. That is a dry day here on the wet coast so how does this help me? I will try and find the data to back up what I learned about higher humidity and its affect on many types of air filters. I guess we all need to be aware that lots of data sometimes is just lots of data!!

I'll be there but MGNA has screwed up again so it looks like no proper Guzzi booth. We'll have to go harass Dirty Bill at the offroad booth.
