If it has stock pipes it doesnt sound like a vegetable at all, it idles like a singer sewing machine

I also can feel your pain. I did a very simular accident on my V11 a short time ago. Cold morning, 2 minutes from home and overly ambitious with the rear brake for cold tires. The Guzzi's come in a little cheaper on the spills without the fairing though. Total bill $411. Not worth the insurance claim. Just think on the bright side, if you're still kickin they make new parts everyday!!!

Jim flies like that with logs underneath. how do i know? I was in the back with my seatbelt as tight as it would go

Just to make the world an easier place to live in 1) Men are NOT mind readers, just tell us what you want. Lets be clear, subtle hints do not work, strong hints do not work, obvious hints do not work. Just say it!! 2) Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up put it down. We need it up, you need it down. you dont hear us complaining 3) Sunday sports. Its like the moon or the tides, let it be. 4) Shopping is NOT a sport, you wont convince us. 5) Crying is blackmail, stop! 6) Yes and no are perfectly acceptable answers to every question. 7) Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. Thats what we are for. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for. 8) A 17 month headache is a problem, see a doctor. 9) Anything we said over 6 months ago is inadmissable in an argument. If what we said was more than 10 sentences it is null and void after 7 days. 10) If you wont dress like a Victoria's Secret girl dont expect us to act like soap opera guys. 11) If you think you are fat you probably are, dont ask us. 12)If something can be interpreted 2 ways and one makes you mad, we meant the other one. 13)You can ask us to do something but NOT tell us how to do it. If you know how to do it best, you do it. 14)Whenever possible, say what you have to say during the commercials. 15) All men see in only 16 colors, like Windows defualt settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit. We have no idea what Mauve is. 16) If it itches we scratch it, its best that way. 17) If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing", we will act like nothing is wrong. We know youre lying, but its not worth the hassle and you will bring it up later anyway. 18) If you ask a question you dont want an answer to, expect an answer you dont want to hear. 19)When we have to go somewhere, anything you wear is fine....... really. 20) Dont ask us what we are thinking about unless you want to discuss Hockey, Motorcycles, Beer, or Boobs. 21) You have enough clothes. 22) You have too many shoes. 23) I am in shape, its called round. 24) Thanks to all the women that read this and yes we know we have to sleep on the couch but men dont really mind that, its like camping.

Im sure they're cool but it almost doesnt seem like the right bike for digital displays. A bike (V11) that is so old school mechanically with the high tech gagetry almost seems like an oximoron, or to the seriously obsessed, sacriledge!! i think I like my analog dials better

NUCLEAR!!!!

Did the lap times at that GP seem a bit slow or is it just me?

a Quota on steroids

Long time fan of this thread, thought it was time I contributed, heres a pic of my favorite pair of boobies

I was watching that one too. Has this inspired you to finish yours Jim, after all dont you enjoy having bikes for sale that you will never sell?????????

Probably a statement of what kind of childhood i had but at my house as a kid we left Santa beer and pretzels. And wouldnt you know it, when I got up on Xmas morning the beer and pretzels were gone ---------Merry Christmas everyone

Hey Jim, great poll, threw my chips on the MGS of course!!! Although I have to say I'm surprized you didn't just put the bikes you own in the poll, oh ya, you can only put in 20, didnt want any of them to feel bad

Had the same problem with my V11. I first put on the Mistral crossover that pushed the flatspot down from 4300 rpm to 3400 rpm so it was out of the way of usable range, under performance any way, then put on Mistral carbon pipes which totally eliminated the dead spot and added a few HP's. Not nessesarily an inexpensive fix but well worth the snort factor Now I want the PC III and high compression pistons. Will it end? Only time and finances will tell

Recently aquired the same dis-order. But in the same note that misery loves company, so do addictions. With two bikes one is more prepared to corrupt the naive, the buddy bike the perfect ploy draw the unprepared into your circle of corruption, thereby negating your own sins

Likewise, I recently switched from the 180 on 2001 down to a 160 and couldnt be happier. The bike felt like it had lost 20 LBS and all the stiffness into a turn was gone. I switched to get a cheap tire when I needed it but I wont be switching back
