On the Intermot in Muenich this big sign announced the 2005 Giornati Mondiali Guzzi.

Fonzarelli, @ MSN you have to register and log in to view the site. I don't see the pictures. Please send them to me and I will make sure everybody sees them.

Paul has made pictures: Webshots I have made some pictures too: MGCN-Gallery

Kenny (Griff), what's with the bear with the green LED eyes?

Watch it belfast, yer a lot closer than Robson

I have it on backorder since March But in two weeks I can show pics, I hope!

But the Seattle ones do actually have coffee.

As promised a (not too long) story of our trip in the US of A. Flew in on Seattle where we were picked up from the airport by Ray (Gooddog) Later in the afternoon we contacted Dave Gross and he and his wife Rae showed us Seattle from a BMW convertible perspective. Seattle definetly has more coffe shps than Amsterdam! They also took us out to an excellent dinner. Thanks again! Next morning we picked up the RV in Everett (the taxi-driver from the hotel to Everett normally drove a huge Peterbilt truck... funny, but a bit scary guy) Then we went on a "Tour de National Park" North Cascades Glacier National Buffalo Range Yellowstone Grand Teton Dinosaur Arches Bryce Zion Las Vegas (The National Pensioners Refuge) Yosemite I've seen enough canyons to last a life time. We didn't do Grand Canyon, because my GF has already seen it and it's just too f****n big... A few things we also did: - Rodeo in Cody Wyoming - Star Trek Ride in Hilton hotel,Vegas. (we're both in the danger zone of becoming Trekkies) btw. in Vegas I twice spotted the only V11 LM during this 3,5 week trip (a red/black 2003 model) First when we left the Oasis RV Park south of the Strip and later on the Hwy to Reno (95?) where the rider helped out a car with trouble. Maybe someone on this board? Our last evening in the States we met up with Al, Don, Mike, and Carl. After some bad communications on or part we finally met in a micro-brewewry/restaurant in Hayward (I think) It was very nice to meet you guys! And the Jalapeno Poppers and Chicken Wings were just what we needed! Thanks. Especially to Mike who waited for over an hour in the dark and drove us back and forth to our RV! Also thanks to Carl who drove all the way from Modesto just to meet us. (I hope we made it worth your while...) And a big thanks to Al for getting the guys together. Don, thank you for showing up! The only one on his bike... Next morning we dropped off the RV and got on the plane to Amsterdam. After driving some roads, especially up north, I want to come over again, but with my bike. A lot of people over here criticise the USA but you can sure build roads! (But you also build some fugly stuff... )

Back in Holland! Will have some more trip info soon... Jaap

Hi all, Finally got a chance to log in, busy schedule... We're in Moab Utah right now: I want to thank Gooddog for the ride from the airport; too bad you had to work! And Dave and Rae Gross for their lovely tour of Seattle, with dinner included! Excellent!!! So much for now, got to check my emailboxes... probably 1000's of SPAM messages... (Glad to see I didn't get a SQL-error)

I reread this thread and noticed I forgot to answer this question. We fly from SF on August 12th. So we'll be in the neighbourhood a few days before that. Don't know exactly when. Carl, Al, I have both your #'s. I'll give you a call before we arrive. If I look at the itinerary my GF has made, we almost come through Modesto. I like the Guzzisti-schoolbus idea too!

I can't give you answers, let alone solutions. I'm a "bolt on poser" with no technical skills whatsoever. I hope it's not a big problem! But some knowledgeable forumisti will surely chime in; there is a lot of know how on clutches.

There's a seat for sale in the Classifieds.

Okay, tomorrow is the big day! At 11.00 AM GMT+1 we fly for Seattle. Ray (Gooddog) will pick us up from the airport and bring us to our hotel Thanks! We will arrive in Seattle around noon local time. We will see some sites the rest of the day. Next morning we will pick up the RV in Everett and head for the mountains. Our cell phone if you want to give us a call (or perhaps meet us): +31 6 5389 6046 Thanks again for all the pointers. We sure appreciate it! Anja and Jaap

Finally some bolt on stuff!!! Congratulations

Needless to say, we want PICTURES Have fun!

Did you check the intake rubbers for cracks?

Another fact! That's three in a row. If people want facts on oil and lubricants; we deliver!

Julio has broken in his young dutch wife with a lubricant from an unknown brand you can get at a pharmacy. (fact!) What a thread... Another one for the "Hilarious & Totally Insain Threads" section.

If anyone is interested, I have a spare sidestand for sale.

Contact Al, he can get you a good price on a Binford set...

Thanks TX! I needed that. Just lost a big account with my firm...
