Somewhere in Holland, is somebody who has connection with the deliver farm for the light weight wheels. I have asked him if there is some l.w.w. for Moto Guzzi V11. Is there not. But…it’s possible to contact this deliver farm and try to let make a couple of wheels. Somebody does have interest? Price, around 1000,- Euro a pair.

Not But I have an half answer. I will tell ya if the next V11 rally will be in Ireland

The Benelli "tre e mezzo" is just gorgeous! I mis l'Ape.

Eeuuhm? Explain please? I know you Jaap, but this is too abstract for me...

Martin, I will remember you the first photo on top of this topic, while you are washing you V11. No matter about the white shirt, the bike was clean, wasn't it? If you bother, next time I propose you to do it naked chest

Big trouble with the bike there, Slug. It looks not that good. That's sucks! Positive is, you are alright and remain conscious all the time.

Joe, thanx for the list! Everything is clear now. BTW: the red colour (color) was associated to Alfa Romeo. Or better, Alfa Romeo made sure this color becames a succes in the car racing world. Ferrari use to be Jellow. When Alfa stopped with racing, Ferrari was allowed by Alfa to continue the tradition of the red color. Amen!

...to have an idea about British Racing Green...

Done!

David, we mist you in Sibbe Where have you been?

Nothing! Only, the green color on the bike is only accepted if it is BRG. Except the awful green of Kawa... I wonder how the green of the V11 in the beginning was accepted...

For the records: Alessio Sissi will be the engeneer who has projected the new engine 8v Abbiamo chiesto all'ingegner Sissi che sviluppi futuri avrà il Quattrovalvole e, soprattutto, che impiego nella gamma di Moto Guzzi. Ecco la sua risposta: "Il 1.200 8V è davvero un nuovo progetto, abbiamo ora un motore leggero e performante. Il più potente mai uscito dagli stabilimenti di Mandello per un uso stradale (most powerful engine ever produced in Mandello) . Il suo impiego sull'Enduro Stelvio che presenteremo a Milano, è certo (the apply on the Stelvio, which we will present in Milan, is for sure). Tra l'altro il nuovo basamento permette di crescere con la cilindrata". La concorrenza, in particolare tedesca, è avvisata. Yes, there will be a new Stelvio with 8v engine

.. do we need to say something about this proto? Let's start with the 'color"! It is not even "British Racing Green"

I saw on the motoguzzi.it site a totally new leather jacket and pants. Looks alright to me…

The only pic I have is with my wife and me and Guus of course. Sorry for that. I do not have any report. I must recognize the weekend was great. A successful event. I am grateful to Paul of La Chausse, we do not have to pay back the bench we demolished. The tour on the Eifel was great too. We do not have had the "bloemenplukkers" group, so the speed by while was high.

Ratch, this make me feel very old hope to meet you sometime

!!!WoW!!! This surprise me, a lot! M1 Metzeler Sportec was by me the worsted tyre ever had. Only the Dunlop 218 was more worst. The front tyre of the M1 was after 3500/4000 km completely burned up. No grip at all in the front. I have got to work a lot to get the bike down and keep it there. The rear tyre was too apatic or inert. My Le Mans wear now the Z6 Metzeler. This is a hell of a tyre. I would say better then Diablo.

It's always the same story: the egg or the chicken? Perhaps we have something in common, Pirelli or Metzeler is always the right choice.

Ja, het zal wel lukken. Volgende week wordt 22-24 graden verwacht. We gaan met de tent en in de regen is het niet prettig camperen. We zullen een zak motordrop opsturen naar: Brisbane.

Hello Soren, I appreciate this geste. I suppose now the people who are coming have sent Jaap an email with the intention they have. I cannot get Jaap on the phone so I dunno if he is organizing the BBQ or me??? I thought it was me, but I can get this wrong...

Don't care about that fat ass. Looks horny to me, I like it! Before changing rear tyre, be sure the width of the wheel will be 5.5 inc. I believe the 170 will also fits on kind of wheels. We have got in those years many topics over tyre range. Conclusion is: on kind of wheels, you can fit 170-180 and 190 tyres. I like the fat boy way, I use 190

ECU? Reset and restart will help. Do you use the PCIII?

What about Dutch cars?! Have a look! Nuna uses advanced space technology, provided to the team through ESA’s Technology Transfer Programme, enabling the car to reach a top speed of over 170 km/h.
