  1. your a lucky guy! I did that with the lead shot..
  2. my thoughts too, plus that Griso dash thing where it goes bad and the bike no run..
  3. ditch the 3 Honda 500's from the list and add the V7, Griso and KTM 390 Duke.
  4. It's a video documenary, maybe you can find it somewhere else, some of the racing in phenominal. Ewan McGregor narrates this adrenaline-pumping documentary that captures the thrilling, terrifying reality of MotoGP racing. Filmmaker Mark Neale gets behind the scenes with unprecedented access to shoot some of the sport's most electrifying footage.
  5. Viva Rossi! very impressive.. do you netflix? by all means watch "FASTEST" shows Rossi in his prime.
  6. You have every right to be pissed! I would be from your description.. Lucky me, I just raised the clip ons and everything fits me fine.. took from winter storage today for some fresh premium Non-ox.. It's all good and may the sun shine manyana..
  7. Hey Fishon, I'm in Mpls and spend time in Danbury.. I'd sure like to own your bike just don't have the 6k asking price.
  8. when did you last flush clutch fluid?
  9. 2007? your battery is probaly on it's last charge and dying if not dead already.
  10. If you can find a Hot Rod club/organization in your state you can probably find a list of all the stations that sell non ox/alcohol free gas.. I have all kinds of favorite stations mapped out in my mind for where ever i go..
  11. silly you, it takes way more power to crank the motor over.. get a charger on it and you'll prolly be fine.
  12. with out going outside right now to compare, I bet this would fit. http://www.ebay.com/itm/00-Moto-Guzzi-Bassa-Jackal-California-LOCK-SET-IGNITION-SWITCH-KEY-/200795067407?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2ec051940f&vxp=mtr ya know Guzzi, I don't think they use different components just because it's a different model.. just don't trust anything this Pinwheel (seller) outfit tells you, they have no clus about Guzzi's.
  13. you have to be sure and keep it down when riding, it's tempting to leave it up sometimes. Glad my Nolan was down at the time of impact. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/fotoguzzi/IMG_0588.jpg I bought another Nolan with insurance money.
  14. you grounded a positive lead? did any smoke get out?
  15. I might have the parts from an EV brake system that i would give you if you need more parts.
  16. He says he's Great! and made it to Cameroon.. I was in suspense for 3 days that he didn't get any internet but I think it will be better from now on.. He was in Manzini but with a church group so probably not any fancy hotels, more like a hostle, He mentioned how good a hot shower felt when they left..
  17. He is there now.. Manzini Swaziland, nice hotels but no internet since the airport. He was thinking internet would be available and could keep up with his clients and finish jobs from Swaziland, LOL.. I got dumped on with a major 20k project that needs to be finished Feb 1st, the day he may emerge back to the web world. Hope he gets web at Doala on Feb 2. so I can assure him everything got delivered fine. last time we emailed, he was a nervous wreck, and wanted to fly home imediately to finish the job..I told him breath deep and let me take over here. I've spent the last 2 days editing this project and will be taking a week of vacation to nurse it to the end.. I expect 1/2 of the fee.. maybe enough for a used griso! but then there is the new carpet and some shoes my wife wants.. I've seen a good used KLR for under 2k maybe that and the carpet? meanwhile as a Dad I can't help worrying about a 25 yo kid travelling around Africa with thousands of $ in gear by himself... wish it was me!
  18. Thankyou for a great response! I think we ave all papers in oreder.. He leaves on Friday.
  19. no Roper plate? talk him down below 5k? who pays for an oil analysis? give the old man his asking price!
  20. not me, My son Rob (25) has a video job in Swaziland and then will be going to Cameroon to visit best friend who's in the Peace Corp there. leaving Mpls in a week and a half. He will be videoing a church group building a High School in the poorest country in the world, wanna depressing story? google Swaziland.. I will be sure he has a medical evac plan, have heard MEDX really performs, experience? He has several top of the line Canon camera's and lenses plus a new Macbook pro (that is super fast! with the 2nd SSD I installed in the optical bay) it's probably $20k worth of kit.. I'm trying to get him to go simple with gear he can give away when done, but that isn't going over well. I'm researching details about the gear mostly and have heard a lot of horror stories.. like customs lets you bring in gear but won't release it unless you have all kinds of documents, likely you don't know which ones ahead of time. anyone have experience w/customs and equipment? Also what is the best way to get his media home in the case of equipment seizure? mail it home, have the church member carry a second copy?
  21. surely it's an 02.. nothing to be afraid of really but why would you list a sale and leave town? pretty sure the real 03's had black face instruments.. I'm glad my 02 has the Veglia stuff, they still work. the engine paint? it's kinda like Italian patina? I don't see it when riding.. never had the shift spring problem but I carry the fix under the seat. that one looks really nice accept for those ugly stock cans.
  22. the Bassa and other EV type use smaller TB's they won't work for you.
