I would stick with a 97 and look for one that hasn't had as many "improvements" as this one has.

If you haven't ridden a Norge with its high beams on at night, you've never seen headlights. Friggin' awesome. Better than my Prius even.

Now all you need is a "Ski Kansas" bumper sticker.

If someone can convince Speed Channel that Daytona is a NASCAR race, we might get to see it. Otherwise, it seems unlikely.

Charge the battery. Check battery voltage. Try again.

I thought I did pretty good when the right front A-arm of the 84 Nissan truck I was driving folded up and bounced me off of the rear wheels of a tractor trailer rig which then proceeded to run through the cab of my pickup truck and crush the right side of it while I was still going 65 mph. I thought I was lucky - but this guy defies luck beyond any imagining!

Applying Boolean logic, that would mean one should stick with the wrong board.

Gotlieb?

I know that English isn't everyones first language, but just for clarification - "Runs like hell" colloquially means "it doesn't run very good" whereas "Goes like hell" means the opposite - it means it "Runs very well". Sorry for the confusion, but although American English is my native language, I don't take any of the blame for it's confusing construction and contrary usage.

You should try satellite. 75% the speed of DSL for 150% the price.

Beautiful Mustang. Even though I'm retired (and working two days a week to remain so) the weather is something that applies equally whether you're fully employed or not. In other words, it's snowing and the weather is crap. Richard is just 180 miles north of me and is sharing the same cruddy weather. This sucks. I want to ride but it ain't gonna happen any time soon.

Yeah, isn't she sweet? Now all we need is for someone to hire Maria Swann to pose for the real thing.

I was trying to build an engine with a true 90-100 HP at the rear wheel. I wasn't necessarily concerned with the bottom end but Mike Rich's Stage II porting while hot, is not an unstreetable configuration. Stage III though, is what the Bonneville guys used and there isn't any sane way to run that kind of porting on the street. FWIW, I've only put about 220 miles on the Mike Rich heads as there are other issues with the bike but the bottom end seens untouched. The Norge sort of negated my desire to build a better Guzzi engine. Anybody want to buy some heads?

I have no clue where my chart is now, but when I sent my Sport 1100i heads off to Mike Rich, the stock flow was about 105cfm. After the Stage II porting, they were nearer 127cfm. Thats about 20% more flow.

I think that's a depiction of Alexander Bell's assistant calling him (Bell) from the adjoining room at the first successful test of the telephone.

The way I've done it is to unbolt the disk rotors. Underneath them their are three slots with a mirror set on the other side of the wheel hub. I just take a really long thin flat blade screwdriver and work through the hub and punch the bearing out from the backside of the bearing.

I've seen 51mpg a few times. Sustained 75-79 mph on level slab for long distances. No headwind.

Temps around freezing, 5 - 10 inches of snow due starting this evening through Sunday. Not conducive to riding. Even the Ural refuses to start.

I wouldn't go so far as to pull measurements from this... FWIW, this is a 2001 frame - post accident.

MG finally published a wiring diagram with legible markings so I've corrected my color version of the schematic. There were lots of corrections, so if you've downloaded the Griso schematic, chuck it out and download the new one.

Having come from the "truck" like slow steering of the 97 Sport 1100i, the V11 Sport feels fairly quick to me. However, after totalling the V11 Sport, I rebuilt it with a 96 Sport 1100i frame which has one more degree of rake. In concert with the reduced trail of the V11 Sport triple tree (1 cm) the bike feels - well, weird. Tolerable, but just sort of odd. But I digress. I rebuilt the V11 Sport with WP suspension and the rear shock from a Sport 1100i is 1 cm longer than the stock Sachs used on a V11 Sport. This makes the back end quite a bit higher, the steering may be quicker, but I didn't really notice it but I can tell you that it's scary relying on the sidestand when the bike leans over that far because of the additional rear height. You might want to take that into consideration. I put the stock rear shock back in mine.

Mea Culpa. Pull fuse #1. Dave is correct. You'd think I know how to read a schematic...
