Wishing All the best for you Lovely People 🙂

guzziz make their own music

No i’ve never seen the show, was responding to the clip in isolation. Don’t get me wrong, i’m not a completely heartless wanker. Deadwood! Damn i loved that one! Shame it just stopped wasn’t it? Fargo was ace too, at least the first 2 seasons particularly.

those xkr’s were very nice though

yep, and you could take the piss out of jag owners back in the day- heyy nice jag, oo it has ford switches etc etc haha

Heh! dark, but funny, but also dark… but still funny

This thread reminds me of a job i did maybe fifteen years ago. Now, i love a Good coffee, have one every morning using a wee Dualit machine with Lavazza espresso beans. Yum. I was on a job plastering this chaps chimney breast and I’m working away, spread spread spread, he’s got a few chums round having a natter, then this smell of coffee wafts through to the room i’m workin in… dear gawd it smells divine, like really really good coffee. So i’m working away there, spread spread spread, and after a while he pops his head in and gives it: “That’s looking really good there Stewart, would you like a brew at all?” “That’d be super, thank you, I’d love a coffee cheers” I says, smackin me lips in anticipation (I can still smell the Good Stuff on the ether). 5 mins later he comes in and hands me a mug of nescafe. Git.

could the solder be failing at the alternator wires? Happened to me recently and left me stranded. Then one of the little tab/posts snapped off of course when i looked at it. Always get more jobs than expected when i fix my guzzi- it’s great value

i strapped one half to the wall and the other to my van tow hitch and rolled the van backwards… that worked. Although mine was already bent due to a rod end snapping on the torque arm and jacking the whole shebang, so it was a last ditch effort haha

well it may or may not be pertinent to your troubles, but i had dreadful fuel consumption once that i eventually realised was due to a nasty crack in the exhaust near the lambda sensor (crossover area). So maybe check that whilst you’re scanning about?

yes it looks like it feeds into 85 on the start relay

good taste x 15 😀

wide tyres are for them that fling themselves around race tracks

the narrower the better in my opinion

And something for the oddballs amongst us… headphones and a whisky will aid consumption

Here’s to the end of summer (norf hemi)

mm sweetly crackin

wish i had a 93 daytona 😀

dig it. mine’s leaking though… ☹️

cheers for your write-up on the gearbox phil- got me thru it. It was only after i re-re-read it that i realised i should’ve draw-filed the bearing surfaces- i polished them but probably put a slight radius on them. Working bloody lovely though now 🙂. Makes me appreciate the v11 setup as when it’s good it’s very good. I got a vfr400 this year and the action thru the box is no comparison. Which i wouldn’t have expected as when i saw inside the v11 guts it looked so… agricultural?

cor blimey mate! i’m at top dead centre!

had a blast on a pals uly once, i kept hitting the end of the revs cos i was used to the v11. I love that the guzzis have that extra 2 thousand revs- really feel good in comparison
