What Guy said. Paul and I had a couple of brilliant rides in Scotland before going to the meet. Nice weather, lots of sun, not too cold. But when we woke up after the first night in the tent on the rally site, there was ice on the tent. Bloody cold it was! First thing I did that day was going to Tesco's for an extra blanket! What can I say, we had a brilliant weekend with great people, and I'm coming over again. (This was my 5th time in Scotland / UK) Here's Paul and I arriving at the campsite

:grin:

Congrats on the bike! You certainly have found a well loved bike. Soooooo JRT, what's up?

Sorry to see you go, have fun with your new bike, whatever it may be. (As long as it's not a Rune... )

Bertie! Back on the radar! We missed you in Galloway last week. (especially Soren... ) How have you been?

on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MOTO-GUZZI-DAYTONA-AIR-FILTER-MGGU30113600-NEW-OEM-/280751260755 Same part# as V11

Cleaning the black housing: First give it a good wash with soap, then rinse and dry. Then use this stuff: http://www.autogeek.net/s1enbr.html Looks like new! BTW, I have an almost new air filter (1500 kms) lying around. It's yours for shipping costs.

From what I've seen/heard, the bottom of the tankbags are quite sturdy and hardly flexable. And if you have the tankpad, it'll touch that first.

Put some washers or bushes between both rings, longer M6 bolts and you're ready.

Didn't know that one, don't think they were imported to NL, so I looked it up. MY EYES, MY EYES!!!

All bikes that have a bear strapped on the back.

I have a used black OEM rod lying around, which is imo good for a few miles or more. It's yours for shipping costs and a couple of virtual beers.

Added some new items. Check it out.

I have lots of parts listed on eBay. F.i my Guzzi Racing Exhaust kit with ECU. http://www.ebay.com/sch/v11jaap/m.html?hash=item231bcbc85e&item=150790195294&pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&_trksid=p4340.l2562

That is 'the' question. I don't have the experience to tell. Was the sheered bolt the cause of the destruction or part of the result of the big end bearing seizing. On another note, we have found a cafe sport engine 6000 miles on it which has damaged heads (smashed fins) which therefore is slightly cheaper than a couple of higher mileage complete 1100 sport engines, one from a sport corsa. I thought that the lower mileage engine would be the better as I thought that Harry's heads were ok, but discovered this afternoon that the intake valve has bent. I have yet to remove the right hand head but don't foresee any damage. I am thinking that replacing the bent valve and using the original heads may still be an option. What are your thoughts on this? I would replace the whole engine. The original heads still could be damaged, although not visible. There's little chance that an engine that has already done several 1000 miles, will break (again).

That's sad...

Nice wheels! And cheap Are they much lighter than the spoke wheels?

"Good webshop?" No, it's the worst in it's kind! Not user friendly, not logical. Search functio is even worse... If I want to order parts I go to http://www.collmann.eu/index/index.php (german only) or http://www.wendelmotorraeder.de/shop/index.php?cPath=1_8 (also german only) After that I give TLM a call for a pricing! and a lot of the times I end up buying with them, because they're nice people!

I really love the Frecce Tricolori paint scheme!

The original Scuras had single plate clutches, but the ScuraR is just another repainted Café Sport, just like the Coppa Italia, but now with an ugly red saddle. 99.99% sure that the ScuraR doesn't have the infamous single plate clutch.

That would be the worst day in European biking history! I suppose the MAG is already on to this?

The corroded metal from the gods?
