I so appreciate where the postings here take me . . .

Otherwise, like something out of Through the Looking Glass : Attorneys are eventually going to own everything and rule the world. If you don't like the way things are going , hire China . . .

If we must rename Mt. Magasin, are we destined to be "looking out over the [Little John] river valley " . . .

Our Breakdown of Model Year Changes has the Coppa Italia in the 2003-2004 range, along with the similarly equipped and configured Café Sport. I am not where my sales brochure library is stored, so cannot leaf through them for more clues. We do have those in a thread here: edit: Oh, no! I see PhotoBlockit has eaten @chamberlin's contributions!

Yep, apparently "Dino" was his nickname; died at age 24 in 1956. The Dino were produced 1957-1976, initially as the single seat racer. Probably worth saying that "Dino" was not a car, but a Ferrari sub-Brand that produced various cars over its run..

The trick is getting the load through Kentucky. Not so much from the rev'nuers, but the hi-jackers. Those Kentucky boys are all Big Bourbon talk. Until the moonshine shows up.

Y'all Indiana boys know to be thankful for Tennessee "corn squeezin's". Why else would there be so many fast, black Fords with big trunks burning up I-65 . . .

As always, I am thankful for this community. Without you, my Sport would be a shambles. I'm sure I wouldn't be as well . . .

Having one of those nefarious modified electrical systems, It's challenging for me to recall the original set-up. Yet, I believe @audiomick is correct on the one fat (main) per side, the primary ground to the sketchy back of the gearbox and the main positive to the starter. The two additional, smaller ring terminals per side are for the entirely separate fuel/ignition and start/lights harnesses. IIRC, the one additional small ring terminal on the negative side (making three plus the main) is the (also sketchy) ground from the regulator. So easy to drop one off during a battery R/R . . .

Alright, alright - I'll report myself to myself (again). Pretty cool that the bassman, Brian Wilson, also sings falsetto in the original Beach Boys. Here they are a couple years ago . . .

Jus' teasin, now, ya know!

The Coppa is looking great, @wavey_davey1. Welldone, sir! I love how the (gorgeous) Volvo vagn qualifies to join the Fat Bottomed Girls . . .

You had me a little worried about the Dripping Springs, but pretty sure you have that covered and it's kind of an inside joke, anyway . . .

Yes, but post what you find and we'll go from there. Post what brand/model and age your battery is. How long since this LeMans has been known to start/run?

While waiting for the High Current relays, investigate the battery: See if you can find a date code on it (I can't see what brand it is). With a good voltmeter, record the voltages after it's been off any charger six hours: >Static voltage (key off) >Key on/ headlight on >Attempt to start voltage edit: That battery is not oriented correctly relative to the OEM application. It makes me wonder about how the wiring and terminal connections had to be modified.

These can be vastly improved upon . . . Might as well get yourself a set (5) of High Current relays: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/picker-components/PC782-1C-12S-R-X/12352866

Welcome, @WDGUZZI! As you can see already, you are in the right place to sort a V11 LeMans! Could you post images of the electrical menagerie under the seat? Sometimes, a look at that will reveal modifications and monkey business . . .

Reminds me to feel good about what Piaggio has done with Moto Guzzi.

A proper British roadster with cut-down doors that one could dangle his arm over and get fingers run over by the rear tire. I learned this lesson as a youth in my brother's Triumph TR3. Drop-dead gorgeous, these roadsters.

Finally got to watch the guy's video today before taking mySport out on a beautiful autumn day here. I enjoyed reflecting on his philosophical take on motorcycling while slipping along the creeks and over the ridges.

Or the "ideal" spring/mineral water. A neighbor, who learned his wine making craft from his German (US immigrant) grandfather, was determined to use only natural (mineralized) spring water from a local source. The natural minerals are interactive with the processes while distilled water is more inert. Yes, they might scale, but the flavor can be enhanced.
