My Dutch Rock & Roll Top 5: 60's: Cuby & the Blizzards - Windows of my Eyes 70's: Focus - Hocus Pocus 80's: (I know it's a cover, but it brings back a lot of memories!) 90's: 00's: Anouk - Modern World

That's bad news... but good to hear he's cheerfull and doing all right despite being hospitalized. Card is in the mail!

She looks dead...

Personally I don't mind at all! But I have to consider our younger members like DeBenGuzzi... You know how far you can go with these pics...

The progress is in the much better gearbox, the smoother FI, the better handling, the more comfortable ride, the less rear drive reaction, the excellent seating position. OK, I'm a bit biased, but I've ridden both and experienced the difference. If you like a frog on wheels...

Speak for yourself! I'm keeping the V11 as my "sunday morning trasher"

Picked the bike up yesterday in my van and now it's waiting for the salt on the roads to disappear and the temperature to go up... As I bought the 1200 Sport for touring purposes I tried to mount my Oxford saddle bags. Fit w/o a problem, with the velcro straps under the saddle... No hard cases for me.

Sorry Ratchet, but your reply exceeds my intellectual capacities and furthermore it's in English. Reading, let alone understanding, most of your posts takes way too much time and effort... I gave up a few years ago already.

And here we were thinking we had Ratchet all figured out...

I just don't ride on dusty roads... and the bike runs so much smoother with pods and aftermarket exhausts. And I oil the pods regurlarly off course. but... YMMV (always wanted to use that one)

FYI, a Greek Rosso Corsa is BOTM...

Nice pics, but ....brrrrrrrr....

Ratchet, I'm sorry. Although I again appreciate the sentiments of the article, above note makes it inflammatory and makes it reek of propaganda. And that's something I don't tolerate. Topic closed.

You should be punished for that remark!

Although I really appreciate the sentiment of Ratchet's post and think of it as non-inflammatory, I fear where this thread will be going... I will maintain a short leash, I hope you'll understand.

I've had them on my V11 too for a year or so. Very nice and they work...

Actually, these bicycles are a big hit in Holland at the moment. In the beginning only for the elderly, but they are now "accepted" even for young people. But they don't make the world greener, because most of the times they are not used to replace commuting cars. Young people buy them because they are lazy... You even see young people in special 45 km/h cars (meant for the disabled). It's considered cool.

:lol: With some well placed stickers you could make the Stelvio look like Clarence, the cross-eyed lion!

"The date for the 2009 Ulster Rally is Friday 21st / Saturday 22nd August" Sometimes you confuse me...
