  1. ^^^^Yeah, I've never understood a TV in the shop, or listening to the radio while riding..
  2. "A world become one of salads and sun Only a fool would say that" Steely Dan
  3. Oh, yeah. I worked for GM in the good and bad old days. Bunkie Knudsen was the last "engineer" at the top. Once the bean counters came in it was all over. They never looked more than 90 days down the road..
  4. We used to live in a log cabin on the banks of the White river. My friend Lyle (RIP) and I used to put my canoe in there, and float down to Bonge's. Seldom said a word, just enjoyed navigating the river.That was before all the foo foo stuff with Bonge behind that fabulous mahogany bar and his dog curled up in the corner. Drink a couple of beers with Bonge, and head for home. Good times.
  5. Lowryter and Bev took us here one time..
  6. Mick.. while I *love* the Guzzi twins, and have kept 17 (!) of them over the years, I have a thing for singles. Always have, since I started riding a Harley eyetalian thumper back in the 60s. I'd be on a modern Falcone like a duck on a June bug, but that will never happen.
  7. I'm still waiting for the Ippogriffo.. but I'd settle for a modern 500 single.
  8. I was showing my pup Austin how to adjust valves a few years ago. I told him you want it to feel like it would if you put it near the spine of a phone book, closed it, then pulled the feeler gauge out. He said, "Phone book?"
  9. Not very wise here.. but a common failure is the voltage regulator from a dodgy ground. This would have let the battery run down. If it was truly 0 volts (!) it may be dead even though you charged it. Battery's don't like being totally discharged. Once you have replaced the voltage regulator and ran a solid ground from the regulator case to the engine block and most likely replaced the battery..report back. Oh, and welcome to the best knowledge base on the V11 in the world. Somebody else may have a better idea than me shortly..
  10. I'll take all that off your hands.. and use it.
  11. Pretty awesome.. thanks for that.
  12. From memory.. always suspect with me I fixed one like that with a broken solder joint at the ignition switch. Green wire, I think..
  13. "when" I use it, I spray it on and immediately follow with a hose to rinse it off. Don't let it sit for *any* length of time.. just sayin.
