what does this system do exactly? and do I gain anything from removing it? I'm not good with this stuff really and I have to be rather sure b4 I go rerouting caping off or changing things out.

what in the heck are you talking about? Canada hasn't kicked anyones butt. except for in the south park movie. but I mean whats this all aboot anyway? We shouldn't be talking aboot polotics eh we should be talking aboot riding eh and aboot freedom eh and aboot boots eh and aboot other things than politics and religeon eh. both are aboot nothing but trouble eh. Besides the US backed out of taking over Canada 80% of it is uninhabital inhospital tundra I think we stopped right where we wanted to.

Goto work get off early goto dealer 1:30 Spent rest of the day at the dealer and heard a few sweet bikes running. I was there for new tires, Made an appt got there early should take an hour, they have trouble with the rear wheel(maybe new guy?) found the brake side rear bearing was shot . so they send someone out(guy that actually sold me the bike last year) to get the bearing (they don't have one) goes to the supply store (they're out) comes back calls around drives clear across town in rush hour traffic on a scooter finds the bearing they install both rear bearings free of charge just charge me what it cost them for the bearings and then I paid for the mounting of the wheels. $15 each bearing and $45 a tire plus a few minor expenses I only spent $130 which could have easily cost me an arm maybe half a leg. Lets just say I met some very cool ppl in my 4 hours a local guy with a ballabio and the Guzzi Ti's I've finally gotten to hear them My vote perfect for what I want but if I can't find them by next summer I'll go for the Mistrals the MG ti's are in fact not made by Mistral they are made by GPR or something close to that, a german company, funny he thought my drilled cans sounded nice too. A tech said I should get the computer flashed and the fuel adjusted I said NAH its running fine the tech that rode it I asked him speficially and he said its running great maybe it was rich to begin with? BUT I do notice I have less low end and what seems like a lot more top end (passed a semi much faster than b4) I'll pick up a PCIII real soon anyway. I may have sold that guy with the ballabio his names clay nice guy about the Rich maund seat its great so far everyone commented on it. Another topic apparently the concensus at Motoprimo that the best bike ever made(recently) is the SV650 I even said REALLY? but its so butt ugly. Second was the Aprilia Mille they all love that bike (and they don't sell aprilia) My only hiccup so far the new tires feel a lil wobbly they don't have that nice flat spot worn into the tire so the bike wants to turn and turn much sharper and harder than b4 . Also I rode for awhile in rush hour get home change shower come back down start it up. It dies puffs a small cloud of smoke I freak out get off the bike couldn't tell where it had come from get back on try to start it won't start I start to panic then notice its in gear pop in neutral and it fires right up ...strange... Anyway Motoprimo may not always be the chapest but they sure are the best bunch of moto guys around Mpls. I've gotta get a bike from them next time as well. I learned a few other things but they aren't worth mentioning on here like the New Triumph speed triple feels like youre sitting on a motard but its still so sweeeeet. That is all.

you should hear the new Ducati's with the exposed dry clutches WHOA they make one heckofa clickety clank Its totally nothing to worry about.
-
My guess someone made them an offer they couldn't refuse for the ohlins front end and brakes? possibly. who knows. maybe instead of selling them cheap they are looking at parting them out high. Makes more sence to me in some cases.

Just drill out the Cans I finally did that right and it sounds a lot louder. Since we literally just bought a house,(close on may 27th) I don't have the money to get the pipes I wanted till either fall, or next spring. Anyway I love my Guzzi I just want a lighter quicker wheelie machine for messing around with on back roads or parking lots. I miss living in the country and doing that with my 78 Suzuki 125 motorcross now I live in the concrete country. oh well

COME OFF IT NOW. lets not EVEN talk about african Zulu wars or 100 years war, or the crusades lets just forget it all. America has a long ways to go to 'catch up' to Uk/europe but we sure are on the fast track I'll give you that. Its funny tho. how most ppl only remember the bad things that have happened and never notice all the good. I think there should be less fighting and more drinkin unless drinking causes you to fight then you should drink till youre unable to fight. either way its be good for business.
-
couldn't you have both? how did you like your aprilla? I'm looking at getting a mille or a futura I can't decide if I want to tour. or just go out for a pushing the envelope blast.

I'm with Farmers and pay $150/year for full coverage. Its sweeeet. Also my step dad did a low slide on my old bike (funny it was a cruiser) well WHAT I did was goto the shop fixing it and say. Well the stock exhaust cost $800 lets not put that on lets get the Vance and Hines while we're at it I'll take the hard leather bags and a windshield too. Thanks. so I got everything fixed and the acces I wanted for eh $300 over the cost of the insurance check for repairs, had them install it all to. so sometimes you can work together with your dealer and work over the theives, I mean insurance companies.

ah it referres back to your how many to change a light bulb deal. forget it. no one got it. I'm done.

I'm scared for life. 'That guys freaky'

A lil bit more straight fwd than I was thinking but on many levels its what more and more of america thinks than what is played on the news. The News is fuzzy facts and left and right wing opinions. The middlist america doesn't seem to have much of a voice or face we all get labeled as war monger SUV driving fat asses. I mean com'on thats only maybe 50% of us.

YA know you english are funny. You blame the US for many things maybe not outright but look at it this way. Who went there with us? hmm? hmm? thats what I thought don't even get me started on france and germany thier governments actively supported terrorist regimes for monetary gain(I don't blame them exactly the US is doing it also just not with Iraq kinda contradicting isnt it?). I'm not one for the war or any war but I fear that with the nature of mankind it is inevitable. I think it should have been all dealt with the first go around instead of backing down wipe out thier forces start a democracy (if they want one) Take over the country and call it a state or get the hell out. I miss pre WWII when America was everyone we're not getting involved, But now The US has ethical problems with going to war. they want to decimate the enimy as fast as possible But they don't want to kill anyone in the process step on any religons or cause any collateral damage which is good if the other side plays fair but impossible. I won't go into the depths of how messed up it all is for I am no expert. Lets just say the pot (england) shouldn't be calling anyone black. Can't we all just get along? BTW I'm a Mason, Shriner, and a teamster So I'm watching you while drinking and if you cross me you'll be sleeping with jimmy hoffa

check the exhaust clamps I had a loose one that was causing me some pops. took 3 secs to fix.
-
why can't someone somewhere just start fabricating something like this for the V11 that works and I'd buy one. I'm soooo lazy.
-
I was just putting that up there like that to annoy dlaing
-
I wish I could buy one. We'll see sometime in the future I'll get something nice.
-
Me too. (haha someone's gonna hate me)
-
I Wasn't whining but it feels like quite a few bash the more expensive(some might consider more tricky bits) Sachs and swear by the WP, then again some ppl swear by a Mustang and a Vette can whoop its ass. I'd still be fine with a new stang tho. Also how was I to know you wore it out with all that milage? I'm only at 10k, we'll see how I feel when I get to 80
-
Thats Crazy cool lookin. They should throw something like that out there as a higher teir performance bike. like the duc and thier 999's but they still got the crappy monsters. Shouldn't we(guzzi) be able to have both?
-
Hey lay off. dey just tryin to hava gooud time mang
-
Yeah I thought we Whooped English butt in the last romp against each other. Oh yeah Oh yeah who's your daddy? Any way what about the big WWII? europe was in shambles till we got off our butts should have been sooner but whacha gonna do? side note Anyone who hasn't seen 'Team America: World Police' I HIGHLY recommend it. America F**K YEAH

MG Ti Sports exhaust with stock pillion pegs?
DeBenGuzzi replied to rossojoj's topic in Technical Topics
thats what I want to do, If I could just find a set of Ti cans.... for less than $1200 that is. -
I change my vote to G dub. That guy is Sooo dumb. I don't know why so many ppl voted for him his dad didn't exactly do a great job either. I miss clinton the teflon don. plus he likes cigars, anyone meet up with me for a ride could possibly get a free(good) cigar on the house.

I wish they had some pics of these things. Might help them sell them. With the prices of some of those bikes I don't know how they keep them on the floor. I would buy a couple then sell them on Ebay for a few grand more or sumptin. Anyway I don't live anywhere near either of those coast I'll stick to Motoprimo for now. (till they piss me off again)
