Sometimes you have to play the T*nni Guys at their own game. They think they're the pretty ones, but you know, there's something about black...

...and you better not say that to my face

Look, I'm not responsible for the shape of the thing. This is the bike that Guzzi use in their handbook illustrations. They must get the guy who assembles the gearboxes to do these drawings. He hasn't a clue where the parts go. Anyway, that's irrelevant to the competition.

Griso arrival?

Look in the Norge

Try the Griso Palais de Sin for that

If you can – there's a Quiz Point in it. Well, I can't actually confirm that, as Jaap may not agree. But I'm counting on the fact that Christmas is coming: surely he'll be giving them away then?

Ha!! You can't resisting coming into THE gang hut, can you?

That's def. far too much. BTW, you're charged seperately for environmental disposal AND tyre disposal The price I mentioned was £179 for the pair – including vat, fitting, balancing, disposal and one stainless steel valve... That's generally what you should be paying if you buy and have them fitted in the same place. Not over £300. Of course full Recommended Retail is much higher, but it shouldn't be the real price. Guzzirider's site has good prices.

You would have got your's just before the price rise came in. PS to Martin. Don't forget to budget an extra few quid for stainless valves, while you're at it – if you have those yellow peril cr*ppy ones that split.

You're getting a 'rotating bow-tie' point when you fit that craazzeee fan to the front of your V.11. Bonkers, or what?

WHAT! You can't be serious? But then, I know you wouldn't tell a word of a lie..... Take the wheels off and leave them into a fitter. It will be half that price. Don't pay £315 for a pair of new tyres. I've just had a new pair fitted: £179. Tyre prices are going up just at the moment. Oil prices and all that... The hardest part about the bearings will be getting them out. Easy enough to knock in new ones with your famous giant boots. So if you're not sure you might be best letting the shop do them. But again - just give 'em the wheel, not the whole bike. And check where they're getting the bearings from. You don't want to be paying Guzzi prices. A few quid will buy two bearings and then its just the extraction/fitting labour cost. Do both bearings, not just one. Get an accurate measurement of the spacer before the bearings go back. You might want to insert a 1mm shim, or at least be able to contribute to any future threads concerning the variable length of Guzzi axle spacers. Don't forget to admire the rusty water that will have gathered in the needle roller bearing at the bevel box end. You'll need to corespond with JRT about your personal problems Disgraceful. The sooner you Great Britain part of UK Johnnies have to do MOTs at proper Government Test Centres, packed to the gills with computerised machinery, the better.

If I answer, could I get a quiz point? Looks like the only way.

Blackcurrant Sorbet: not bad for the colour. I'll accept that if nothing more appropriate comes along, but you need the make and model, which is quite obvious actually. Clue: it's, erm, how do I put this...not a real motorbike. It only appears in this Forum – sometimes (and, of course, the MG handbook).

No. It's a not-too-subtle suggestion about appropriate action to take when you enter the garage of a furry-seated T*nni at night.

Docc nearly lured me into posting this in the Scura Clutch thread. I remembered, just in time, that Baldini (quite correctly) wanted that thread kept on the straight and narrow. So, I'll just have to carry on here. As you were saying, Docc... QUOTE(pete roper @ Nov 16 2005, 07:38 AM) But it's better than just stabbing in the dark and hoping!

I'm thinking of adding an aluminium sleeve over the pin – as I did with the fast idle mech roller who needs screw adjusters? Not sure what to do about the clutch yet: you used to be able to buy aluminium dinner plates in the camping store...

You're all coming along well, but no-one has pinned it yet. I'll accept Make and Model, Colour is more of a chance for your imagination to have free rein. OK, I'll also accept some variation in the name, as long as it's close.

Quiz X is still open

That is a new fitment then. Before this, there was just a pin to stop the arm – no adjustment.

Don't get me started. Have you any idea how many songs and poems there are that refer to spring? Well, I might just list them...

Make, model and colour description required.

So it's around 1900. We need a better clue – where was the journey? EDIT. Oops there was a second page. Game's over.
