I never owned one but one my dad's friend did (3000 Mk iii). It was 2+2 so there was a little bench seat in the back. The car would wind out pretty good and had a little kick to it to be fast. His had wire wheels and when going into high double digits it would buck and shake. A few years ago I was talking to fellow that restored a big Healey (4 cyl) and said the same thing about the wire wheels.

I acquired a new Slime air pump. I wore out the old one because I could never get a gas station chuck to clear the Sport's rear wheel. I wore out the the threads on the old one and too many missed engagements wore out the pump seals (I guess). 10 years and $20 dollars, RIP. The new one has the quick lever engagement. Took about a minute to get the rear filled from 30 to 40lb. Downside, it's about twice the size to store as the old one and only has a cardboard box rather than a vinyl case.

for $ ONE MILLION DOLLARS !

The best looking bikes ever are the V11 Sport and Lemans and they aren't on the photo board and only one photo of the previous? Now looking for the Tontis, like Calis and standards, I see a Lemans or two. Pretty strange.
-
I didn't see any V11 series Spine Frame on the poster perhaps a Spot or Daytona.

I use DP forums. It's free and about photography. https://www.dpreview.com/ Allows 1000 photos in your gallery, up to 100 uploads a day @ 20 megapixels. I've got about 500 photos there.

So you're hoping that Guzzi gets a version of the 660 twin? Or expecting that to happen?

someone on Wild said it looked like Aprilia. I just hope it has more get up and go than anything they've sold before. And I hope I'm not so old to have enough get up and go before it ever hits the market. My guess is the Greenie will win on both counts.

I gotta say those pipes sounded pretty tinny on my laptop.

The new Greenie is almost as pretty as mine. Almost.

Luckily I've had my shots. I've read that Vitamin D is definite plus in regard to helping with severe symptoms and could help with resistance. -
great shot Docc

Hence, getting a new sender on my EV.

I can't be certain but am pretty sure I saw George with Zappa about '75. Frank's bands were talented and very tight. There's something really pure about piano, bass and drum trio. I like trios whether they're a rock power trio or an acoustic jazz combo. Three players allow everyone to stretch their talent and each get a lead in the show and they know each other so well to be really tight at the same time. With three players, no one can hide. You gotta be good.

The fuel light on mine would come on at 130-140 mile range. I can't tell you anymore since the odo reset stem fell out of my speedometer. I've declined to buy another one and relying on the light now. BTW- I purchased a replacement fuel level sensor for my EV and the replacement comes on about 20 miles fewer than the old one did. I just keep that in mind and know I have a few more miles of gas.

I've read lots about Vit D and have been taking it for the last 6 months. I took melatonin for many years to assist with sleep and insomnia but found it useless and could tell no difference taking it or not. I've not heard about this or zinc being of help with the virus. I'll look into it but luckily, I've had my shots. -
Understanding the need for "pre-loading" the shifter
LowRyter replied to daviscr5's topic in Technical Topics
Shifting can be reluctant at times. Typically 4th-5th shifts are crunchy on my bike. The key is to make the shift more deliberate and not as quickly. I have had a couple of rides where it would miss about every other shift and grind. About the time I called the shop, it shifted fine. I suppose sometimes those dogs and gears just hit the wrong combination then it just grinds and misses? Anyway, 4th-5th is pretty common, just be a little slower and more deliberate. If you're used to a modern unit transmission shifting like a Japanese bike, Guzzis aren't quite in that category. -
All I can say, when your replace it, expect the fuel light to come on about 20-30 miles sooner.

Gotten my shots. I might get a haircut tomorrow or even go out to eat. I've forgotten all of it for 12 months.
