I had to google "36-18" and got: "Admissibility of evidence relating to use of genetic markers." Pretty sure that will link me to the Lear jet. Probably the Bentley, too . . . Lear jet? Piker. If you want to know whether somebody has money, just check to see if they have a helicopter.

It had a humongous transformer in it that had blown up. Lowes had a garden light kit with a timer/transformer for $29.99. Made a couple of light holders for halogen lights, and it's been our night light for years. Just happened to be correct for our runway..

Yer always welcome here at the 36-18 home for wayward aviators B&B, Docc..

Another rant deleted All I"ll say is it's hard to get good help any more.. Thanks for bailing them out, Scud..the springs will Shirley be fine.

Thanks again, Tim..

It would be hard to find a better V11S in the country.

Unbelievable. I just use a die grinder and a fiber wheel to cut that stuff. If you have Tim's Dremel with their cute little cutoff wheel, that would make short work of it, too.

You're right, of course.. but.. it is all straightforward. You cannot believe all that Austin is going through trying to marry some 08 and 09 KLR parts together. Guzzis aren't like that at all. Everything that needs to be done to an early V11S is well documented here. Parts is parts, and will interchange. Spend a little time and have a bike that will last longer than you will. Gimme a Guzzi.

Suuuurrre it did.. Pretty sure kglm took the award for that from Finland at minus 27ºC/-16.6ºF . . . I'm not so sure. We've had more days of below zero weather this year than I can remember. Finland? Yeah, they're no doubt colder. But Oklahoma?? Gimme a break.

Suuuurrre it did..

Wow! That's a little nippy..

Yeah, that works great, and is my favorite. Most people don't have ready access to it, though. Like Phil says.. it can be subtle. I had a persistent mist from Rosie (Rosso Corsa) for a good while. Changed gaskets, lapped the valve cover flat, etc. Finally, using developer and patience, found a literally pin hole in the valve cover casting. It wouldn't leak until the engine was hot enough to thin the oil.

Yeah.

Woo hoo! 51 degrees and light winds. It's been since November of last year since the Mighty Scura was alive. Naturally, started right up, and shook the earth underneath a little. It was good for me. btw, shifted nicely with the new unbreakable pawl spring.

Like mentioned above, I'd just clean off the mess, spray some powdered athlete's foot powder over the whole area, and start it up. It won't take long to find out what is leaking, and will save a bunch of guess work.

Somehow, I need to get the word Juxtaposition in here.. but the bottom of the machine is black, along with the seat. The middle is red. The juxtaposition of the red gaiters and fairing is the piece de resistance.

Grumble grumble.. Great artists are never understood.. 2017-08-18_04-08-49 by Charles Stottlemyer, on Flickr

I've seen the greenie up close and personal. It's stunning.,

Talk to Scud..it would be hard to go wrong with that greenie.

Thats the best buy I've seen on a Sport in a long while. One of those bikes that the closer you get, the better it looks, too.

That's a purdy picture right there..

Gotta do *something* to get through the Winter..

Do it justice? No. Make that Hell no. That doesn't mean that it wouldn't be fun to ride though. I can't do a Pitts Special, a *very* capable over powered aerobatic airplane justice either.. but it's still a hoot to operate that machine. GuzziMoto.. Go for it. It would be stupid to buy it..

It ain't so, Docc..

I am *not* too old for one. But. The Magazine tester and I stopped at the Rock Store sat on the steps, and shot the shit for quite a while. He said it ran like a bear once the dealer "finally" got the electronics sorted. AFAIK, there's no dealer within a day's ride in Indiana, and I wouldn't trust that pimply faced kid in the service department to sort it out if there was.
