There is one for you guys with those models. It's called 'Classifieds', haven't you noticed? It's down near the bottom too, only three Forums up, so you shorties can reach it.

Scott of the Antarctic would laugh in your face sir!

Hmmmm.... What happens if someone puts the Tenni Forum on e-Bay?

er, you were only meant to look at the pictures. I was assuming that the Tenniguys wouldn't bother with the words. You guys are too clever – are you sure you don't hanker after a Scura?

And surviving today, thanks to Aspiring TenniLifeStylers Check this out, it's NICEly groomed and it's comfortable. Click on > INFO-SHOW MANS WORLD at the bottom centre of the frame. Make sure you watch it all and pay particular attention to the Passform section. High Polyester content.

warts?

We'll overlook it too. If he comes in looking flushed, pretend you don't notice.

The one on the right appears to have eaten the fourth one. Guzzi mechanics will eat just about anything. They're pretty fond of the factory grease so bikes made after lunch time can be a bit dry.

No: it's just that 'Ermenegildo Zegna, the new men's fragrence', seems like the sort of thing that Tenni Guys would go for. Scura lads use the real thing, a Brillo pad Or if it's your birthday, a bar of Lifebuoy I hear that Moderators aspire to this stuff: Hugo Boss - In Motion Eau De Toilette Spray - perfume / fragrance for men A natural fresh, spicy & woody scent,Top notes are orange, basil flowers, violet leaves ,Middle notes are cinnamon bark, nutmeg oil & pink pepper,Bottom notes are woods, sandalwood oil & musk.

yes

emm,, are you sure you know what you're doing Martin?

...well that's him standing just behind her! Is her neck permanently stuck in that position so she can't turn around and speak to him, or what? Or maybe she only had eyes for you, aironestallion?

Those saddles must be super-absorbent. Always wondered why cruisers had such big ones. Are you saying this just because there was general agreement that Guzzifatrider's new bike would be best used as a Ladies' Lavatory, or is it actually a handy feature of these things ––– or are you Prospecting? If this is an initiation rite for Prospects, then Jaap's new Lemon-Scura is in for treat. If we let him join the club, that is.

I've no experience of the PC and don't know the intricacies of how it works, but surely this can't be right? Or can it? Do they work like that, or just coincidence?

Found this via your link. There is nothing new under the sun. This could well be posted in Tech Topics, in any of the rear axle, wheel bearing, needle roller ring threads: The blacksmith’s part is to fit the bearing and band both ends of the nave with iron to protect and strengthen it; .... From time to time, and for various reasons, these rims sometimes had to be re-fitted, or renewed if worn out. “The wheel (was then) laid on the ringing bed, where the centre was filled with water, with four pailfuls nearby. We had three ‘Dogs’ for prising the (red hot) ring on to the wheel. We employed little hammer work except to centre the ring. Owing to the length of my arms, I had the job of cooling the ring after the pailfuls had been applied. “Allow me to write, father and I were expert at removing the whole red-hot ring from the furnace, taking it through the smiddy door and placing it perfectly on the wheel. Being a new wheel, both sides of the nave had to be rung, and of course the metal bearing driven in to an already made hole in the centre of the nave, to fit the axle on the cart.” Rob adds: “The Blacksmiths’ Association held meetings at Inverurie, where the price list (for commonly occurring items of blacksmith work) was made up. Father attended.” Few country smiths carried out the tricky ringing operation often enough to become casually perfect at it, and it was always an anxious moment when the ring was fitted, as news of a failure would soon do the rounds, and could damage and perhaps destroy the smith’s reputation for competence.> These boys would be right at home with the Guzzi rear wheel axle / spacer/ bearings / inner ring technicalities. The onlr real difference is that the Guzzi requires the employment of much more 'hammer work'. The Blacksmith's Association could easily be the MG Parts Suppliers meeting at Mandello, except that there, the prices really are 'made up', i.e. plucked from the air in the most ludicrously extravagant fashion. As for the 'reputation for competence' being destroyed: well there can't be any connection with that one in relation to our modern-day Guzzi counterparts. Can there? Isn't it nice how the bloke added the little, personal, human-interest story? He must have had arms so long that when he picked pieces up he couldn't then put then in place because his hands were about 10 feet away. So he used his arms as a human windmill / cooling fan instead. Sweet.

So that green sheet under the bike is Staedtler's bed sheet? You AmeriXans and your quirky little ways...

Cheers Bill I've been checking the post each morning for the airline ticket. Can't wait! I've been very interested in your garage 'project', so really, Christmas has come early.

On what – the invisible bike?!

Hey what's going on with all the advice? I got in first. He's paying for me to go over.

Martin but sorry, they're worthless. I tested the market a while ago and couldn't shift one. Maybe in about 20 years they'll be an item of curiosity on the Antiques Roadshow. Them, and Tennis.

He'd feel right at home with these guys The fourth Scurateer. Not sure about the other one though Staedtler. Looks more like a Tenni Guy to me. Smells like one too.

A man who understands. And a fair diagnosis of Nogbad's trouble – a spectacularly untrained eye.

Somehow 'club' doesn't seem the right word. Better change it to the Scura Chapter. I know your bike wants to be a Scura and it's done it's best to wreak havoc. So I suppose you could try out as a Prospect. First thing you've got to do is rub your bike over with sandpaper, any grade will do. Are you prepared to grow a terrifying beard – or at least wear a false one? Make a post on here so that the local brothers can contact you.
