Oh, dear! What have you been missing?

No, you're a racist.

Such wisdom in one so young!

No, it doesn't: they've all got them, too, although we're all keeping them under cover at the moment - grippe aviaire [although grippe a biere is more usually my problem].

And how do you cope with the 30-year age difference, Ben?

Now you're talking! Awesome, I should think.

Braces on the teeth, too: nice touch! And before whoever is scanning this forum [in the interests of whichever moral majority does such things] begins hunting me down: that was irony! My own tastes are for proper women, not "babes", "gurls" or "teens". There you go.

I suspect whichever of you did would be trouble with the law for interfering with a minor.

I once amused the locals outside a bar on the Costa Blanca by attempting to set off while the rear wheel was still chained to a bollard. It is a testimony to the strength of Guzzi alloy wheels that the only damage was to my left leg [very slight] and to my dignity [very much]. You see, we're all the same...........DUMB!

Who cares when they look this good?

I like these: these are good.

Gross, Ralph...I expect this from TX, but.... Mancunian chat-up line: "Ee, you don't sweat much for a fat lass..."

I know. Thanks, Ben...I'm having trouble with my cock!

Which are considerable, quite clearly, and no argument about that! No offence intended to anyone, truly!

Proper job! What capacity is the engine? I take it that this model usually had a 2T engine.

It's idiomatic English, Ben. Similarly, you might say "ole dawg shore looks purdy, tonight".......! But perhaps I shouldn't interfere: Nogbad is officially the arbiter of good English, I've noticed. Has a university degree in it, I shouldn't wonder. Moreover, he's told me off before for wandering into threads where I didn't belong!

Thanks, Ryan: you're a man of taste and discrimination! I would bore you with many details but I'm a Triton obsessive and we haven't got all night...and this is a Guzzi forum!

No, that's "Poles". I meant "poles"......

It has now!

It is good. I used it when I lived in the UK on bikes I rode over the winter, and it works [My Triton survived two winters of salted-roads riding, mainly because of it - pic taken after such abuse]. The film washes off quite quickly, so you have to keep re-applying it. It also protects outdoor wood!

Go on, then............8 out of 12

I'm afraid that all this is beneath me. [if only two of them were!]

I'm sick of polls. Heli Jim, how about a thread about poles?

When warm, my Tonti top-end at about 50,000miles rustles [valves set at 10 thou inlet and exhaust] whereas my V11 at 6000miles or so [valves set 6 thou ex and 4thou in, which I believe is Europ spec] has to be really warm on a warm day not to clatter! But then, there's a difference in oils used: Tonti 20/50 mineral, as always; V11 5W/40 fully synthetic: again, the latest Euro spec recommendation.

Answer: "No, but I had to go a little bit faster to check that it was really that big"
