  10. Well it's been a very long, cold, wet, winter, and FINALLY the Moon. Earth and Stars aligned and l could roll "The Beast" out of the shed and have a go, for being stuck away in a cold leaky shed it didn't look too worse for wear, the grime of it's last outing still there as l never wash it, or really even take much care of it. l sat back and admired it for awhile, the strong contrast between the orange and black has always appealed to me All the usual pre-start rituals have to be taken very seriouslly though, *check the gas......can't remember putting in gas stabilizer *oil?...filthy and very black, and over the mark, but what the hell, l might change the oil this year *take off the air cleaner and pour a little fuel right into the intake *two "hail Mary's" and ... Damn!!....it started up on the second go, so l goosed it to keep it running, set the throttle to max to clear all the old shite out and let it run flat out for a couple of minutes didn't smoke or anything so l got right down to the job at hand and...... l never thought l'd look forward to cutting the lawn, but its a sign that spring is FINALLY coming but then the joke was on me as later that same afternoon......This Happened !!!!... . F**K...will it NEVER END! Cheers Van l think l really need to get on my bike and go for a ride..my Cabin fever is so bad l'm even starting to think that Scura's are kinda cool looking, and that my friends Hardley-Woorth It could be a nice ride
  11. l HAVE to get away to pick up my Tenni at Big Gord's so there's every chance that l could FINALLY get to meet you and check out your MGS Cheers Van

    Has your bike been serviced by the Gord at Valley Yamaha/Guzzi ? l'll be in that neck-of-the-woods in a couple of weeks so l might have a look see at your bike Why're selling??? Cheers Van
  13. Jaap said it best " it's spring and everything seems to be turning green" in his remarks with this months beautiful bike of the month ... seems that alot of milestone have been green, the fabulous V8 500 racer, those incrediable ltalian Supertwin racers, the Tenni at l.o.M. 's with envy....... Cheers Van
  14. My Tenni seems rock solid, l set the damper to full off, and then tighten to the third click, so far l've never had any sign of head shake My old '82 BMW R100S used to have the damper set to maximum to keep it under control, especially coming off the gas for whatever reason. Back in the day my brothers '70 750 four would get a real slap every now and then ( 3 real quick, hard, heart stoppers, right to the tank and then go on like nothing had happenend ) Cheers Van
  15. quote name='Guzzirider' date='Mar 24 2007, 12:18 AM' post='116920'] I am seriously considering respraying my V11 in that green next winter- maybe with some white numberboards front and aft. Guy White # boards so it looks kinda like this?? [ Cheers Van

Cheers Van
