Forum Administrator is reasonably satisfied with passing the 3,000 post mark. A staff outing for cream buns is the order of the day.

Moto Guzzi Club Belfast (Scura Chapter) Parallel twin set, we haven't mastered the v-twin configuration yet

It's OK Guzzirider: there ARE two bikes this time. So if you've sobered up, – you're not still seeing double.

Lay off the cider, GuzzleRider. There's only one bike.

What do you think of this?

The ticket hasn't arrived yet. Don't you love your bike anymore?

espresso exotica 'taking you to the next level of absurd caffeine containers' nice

That looks like one of your granda's bedroom slippers

Waahay indeed. I knew that would wake-up V11UK. I was disturbed to see the mention of of the Metzeler Roadtecs, Chris. Are they standard fitment? That means my V.11 has become part-Breva now! What next – spacehopper handlebars?

Hmmm... about that wife of yours........

DL uses a side-stand, he says.

There you are: you won praise.

:!: Lots of people have! Have a look at the previous post: "I am happy with the way that mine runs ......MG Ti pipes, the Ti kit (race) ECU, etc" There are quite a few threads about this stuff

He could be arriving at any of these sites: in fact it's most likely that he'll be coming in to Strangford, near me: "From late September through to mid-November over three-quarters of this population of HDGeese occur at Strangford Lough, feeding on the important Zostera (Eel-grass) resource on the mudflats there. As the autumn progresses, numbers at the other important sites around all corners of the Irish coast from Strangford to Wexford, Tralee to Trawbrega gradually increase towards mid-winter. At some sites including the estuaries in Dublin, Wexford and Tralee, some thousands of HDGeese occur, sitting out the winter accumulating reserves for harder winter times and slowly preparing for the lengthening days of spring by which time things will have gone full-circle."

How do you know that??????

even if Nogbad can't

But why not? Seems like a pretty Scura sort of thing to do!

Ahhhh! No wonder I can never find my keys with all those red and orange tags on them! If I paint 'em black I'll never lose them again? a Scurahero:

I think so too, so I keep it upright rather than do a sidestand adjustment. Put I just hold the bike up straight while I do it – nothing elaborate, no contortions from the saddle etc. Keep it simple and it's a straightforward job.

How did you know that??????

Hey now, we could stage a re-enactment at the Erin next year --- or even do it for real

Where the spring hooks over the plate is quite a rough finish, which may hasten the demise of the spring. The indent is where the spring hook has gouged into the steel. It's worth cleaning-up. I also re-profiled the area, but that was mostly because I re-used the broken spring, which was then shorter.

Well done. That didn't last long. I suspected that asking about a v-twin shaftie on here maybe wasn't exotic enough.

Very admirable DL. Great commitment. It looks a bit dangerous though (have you even painted over your lights and mirrors?) so I would advise wearing a high visibility vest when you're not riding in the forest. Edit: can't believe I said that: you would look silly then!

They were already offering a good price. You must have got yours a couple of years earlier (did you get it new?) – I don't know what their 'bargain prices' were like then.
