  1. It just soaked in......................
  2. Look at the math . 01 Scura $10k Good looking bike . Ohlins , lots of plus .$10k , no way. 01 v11 for $5k or 05 for $6500 . 4 years for $1500 . Mmmmm . The 05 would be my choice .
  3. Hmmm . Uhhhh , it's a fiddle here .
  4. Electrical dead Scura ? if that were the case , every V11 owner would be taking their bike somewhere else .
  5. If it comes with ALL fasteners, buy it .
  6. IF you don't know what to look for ad/or the seller is vague , take a friend / authority with you to be a good third party . my 02/03 had more patina than I wanted , BUT I bought it from another member . I am satisfied with it and ALL the $ I've poured into it . I doubt if you will be taken , but be a careful buyer . ASK plenty of ?s and have a checkoff list . If there is a member in the area , get them to go along . Is this bike perfect ? Hell no . you will be busy with it and you will be satisfied with a damn good bike !
  7. "I have bought the last bike of my life"....I'm not sure about that . The second part bothers me "which is quickly winding down" . Let's go over this part ..........
  8. Did anyone notice the "Bronson'' H/D ?
  9. You should consult with someone who can paint nylon , plastic or whatever it is before you go forward on this project . Personally , I would look into maybe buying another tank if the bubble matters that much .............
  10. Uhhh , you connected them wrong ?
  11. FYI .... everyone needs to reread the entire thread on this subject . It would have saved me a lot of trouble TRYING to figure out how it works .
  12. Get ready to be surprised ! There is no tellin' what you will get . I don't think I have seen the same hue , tint or whatever you want to call it on this color . Temp , sunlight , latitude , longitude , you name it dictates what color you end up with . Pull the seat and see what color the tank started as . Whatever paint color you get is whatever color you get . Live with it and appreciate it .
  13. Yeah , Salvador .... what does the yellow phone represent ?
  14. All joking aside , there is no " normal " on ANYTHING involving a MotoGuzzi .
  15. I think all of Europe charges VAT , Final sale , country to country , etc. IDK if there is VAT on used parts or not ? I returned about $300 worth of new parts to Agostini , they were going to charge them tax on returns , I told them to throw the stuff in the trash and forget about it . There is sales tax in the US with internet sales skipping most of it . Here in The States the final destination (customer) is responsible for sales tax collected and paid .
  16. Beee cause of axle size / bearing diameter ?
  17. with the exception of the vaccination , my wife agreed with all your other points . Everyone needs to be taking Vitamin D , Zinc , Airborne , Emergen-c , etc . Talk to a good health or vitamin store and don't duplicate . P.S. she has had the vaccine , i haven't been captured yet to get mine .....
  18. What kind of set-up is with the front brake hose(s) ?
  19. I know two V11s that (modified) shift like Jap bikes........ and I hope I don't jinx ANYTHING .
  20. A person would have to spend time looking at all parts catalogs to see part #s and what fits what .
  21. Now ,a lot have mentioned " the cold " or a "knockdown , I'm gonna die" event , I have not heard of any women and very few young being hit hard by this virus , only men over 50 . Most have resulted in a loss of taste and smell . What has been your experience ?
