Cheers Tom. They look the bizz, with the added advantage that Sam can perch on top of the saddle top bag and see wherte we are going Will have to see who stocks 'em over here, Regards, Mike & Sam.

Anyone found any decent soft panniers that will fit the standard V11s without fouling the exhausts? Not after leather/leatherlook as will not suit the bike. Was thinking along the lines of throw overs in a modern waterproof cloth. Cheers, Mike.

Too late! The hook is well set, Wife's been taking piss all night cos apparently I kept turning round on the run up and laughing at her for no apparent reason! Wait till she gets her test and I'll be fighting her for the keys Any other owners in the Hartlepool/Newcastle area out there? Regards, Mike.

Cheers all. Just got home on the new bike, I'm in love, 300 miles 2 up with the better half & smiling so hard my face hurts, The bikes a belter, 10,500 miles under her belt with old MOTs to confirm it's right. No oil leaks and the smoothest gear shift I've ever found on a Guzzi, Seat cowl included as well, I paid £2.6k which I'm well happy with and I'd forgot what a great feeling it was to just roll the throttle and watch the speed go illegal without dancing on the gear lever. Barely a mark on her, I could waffle on all night. Roll on summer. Mike.

Hi all. Still in shock, after a 20 yr lay off I've bought a bike again, had a Lemon 111 then a 1000s way back along with jap stuff and British, recently looked at all sorts then saw a 2001 reg naked V11 sport on e-bay. Bloody Hell, that's gorgeous! thinks I, only a few hours to go and its miles away. 2 phone calls to the owner and some e-mailed pictures and I've taken the plunge, she's mine. Picking her up tomorow. Will probably be picking a few brains on here as I get to know her. Regards, Mike.
