just throwing this out there. what color Red is the Red? If I wanted red I'd want it to match the Guzzi Red, and there are a few of those. If there is an upcharge for red it should match, otherwise paint it yourself.

sorry to be coy, never seems to work for me. I don't care about the work, I want to SEE YOUR 911!! .....in all it's glory! please, of course

easy decision. and, What are these 911 things you speak of? photos please

Possibly I have a different world view than you. It's evident that AV trucks and personal vehicles have a foothold on society. Now scooters. Soon, every g-d thing a human can operate. I'm just providing a 2 day old article showing evidence that the camel has his nose under the edge of the tent. Soon the camel will be inside the tent. I think motorcycles will likely be among the last mode to suffer the really serious AV or green bullshit mandates. People have to get around, and much of the world's population travels by scooter (actual scooters not those hipster child sidewalk scooters) so we have some time. But time will tell. Since the beginning of motorcycling, our lifestyle/choice has been a clear reflection of individualism. Rugged individualism (Yes I said it). Some embrace it. Others, sorry to say, don't give a hoot about how much fun we have, and will eventually be coming for us, for our own good of course. I'm surprised you don't make the connection to the future of motorcycles. They've been telling us the plan for a long time and I just see this as them slowly doing it. Much nuance is lost in keyboard forum chats. If we were several thousand miles closer

how much for the GB?

no to the Griso bag but I have 2 of the OEM MG strap on bags and I like 'em just fine. Usually strap on bags that have to stretch that far to anchor, have a tough time staying positioned. But, the MG V11 bag has a separate padded supporting base which anchors quite well and with a hole for the gas cap. The padding is on the sides of the base and supports the bag when it's attached. I have used the padded base with my larger Tourmaster bag a time or two when I needed more space. It protects the tank very well. The MG bag itself could be a bit more rugged. I've had one zipper fail.

The boutique atmosphere is way overplayed in many Motor shops. I know what drives it but it makes no sense really. Two big offenders in my town are Duc and KTM. They're like ... we gots what you want so kiss the ring. Matt Carr at the Duc shop is a good man if you can snag him. My local Triumph shop is #1 in regional sales and they could not be more 'regular guy' oriented. They always have a couple Duc trade-ins on the floor. Most multi line shops in the area are pretty cool to deal with. The shops that are located outside the city, in the smaller towns, the ones with "powersports" in the name often have cool trade-ins. That's where I've felt most welcome to talk and test the used market.

Both built for a competitive spirit, not me. If I had to pick one, Triumph, easy. The Bloors are killing it with their line up, and apparently Daytona this year. And I wouldn't have to visit the Duc dealer.

Well said.

In that photo, I get it. I don't care for the belly pan, it's too much and kinda squared. I don't care for the black v covers or yellow guards either. As for the black wheels.... the Sport's tail/seat body section can be a bit too LargE at some angles and the black wheels bring it all closer together for me. "condense" maybe a better word. IDK guess I should get a yellow one for myself eh?

One of my client's used to build cars for his Indy racing series. Those panels are incredibly strong and light.

I recall reading some mph users have been successful with re-routing stock lines. "Success" is subjective I think. Doing risers on other bikes I have had success sometimes, sometimes not. I would always go into it with the expectation of buying longer lines to complete the job. I sure wouldn't want to compromise flex on a control line/cable. Fortunately for me the LM/Sport stock setup is satisfying.

Howard Stern. And a whole bunch of folks willing to pay for what they already had for free.

Very nice! Remember the Vroom Motor?

I looked for a couple years to no avail. A friendly forum member sent me an extra he had from a parts bike. Maybe another make bike uses the same cyl??

Maybe the Copa sold quick and he edited the ad to sell a Vespa. Saves cost of a new ad?

that's at least 1400cc's Docc

Autonomous vehicle ride sharing is in use now. Those "cars" will obey traffic regulations. GM has plans to sell personal AV's this decade. Those cars will obey. Many existing autos are already equipped with enough tech to automatically generate violations. Coming digital human ID's could easily be used to deal with old and dirty vehicles. Some people are eager for AI to take over any aspect of human function. Being a Boomer has never felt better.

If one want's leather that's cool (temp) it pretty much has to be perforated. I can only speak to Vanson but I own two, and they are both fully armored. One is fairly heavy and the entire chest area is perf'd with inside panels that zip open or closed. I wear it when the ride starts cold and will likely get warm. The other is lighter weight and mostly perf'd also with panels. I wear it when the ride starts warm and will maybe cool off. It gets pretty humid and hot here too. I usually get by with the lighter one with a long sleeve poly Under Armor under. The perf creates quite a surprising cooling effect with wind and a hint of sweat. Honestly sometimes too cool. Then I close up the panels, and I always carry a handy thin insulating layer, just in case.

you might get much of your investment back by selling the extra shift linkage cover ... ?

another worthy "Playing for change" ... with a timely title
