..not a euphemism..

Haha! Join the club man- I can’t get my fork caps to screw on...

No “brembo” written on them?

oh sorry- do they all use the same discs?

I’ve fitted some griso front discs to mine, which were much cheaper than the oe v11 ones, and work perfectly fine.

Before?

I guess it depends how limber you are? I’m 5’ 11’’ and 145lbs, the bike is naked with stock pegs (used various bar configurations over the years). Never ridden a faired bike very far so perhaps don’t know what i’m missing, but she’s a joy to tour on. Up to 300 miles per day is fine, 500 miles starts to hurt back + arse. However, i do avoid long motorway cruising as much as possible, just hate it, you don’t see anything. I suppose that’s much harder to avoid in the states and where a fairing would come into play?

Ooo corsaro- now that’s interesting!

Holy tits that’s a schmokin hot wee video there brother! ... ... ... (buells r still shite though haha!) before i bought my lovely v11 i lusted after a firebolt. Sooooo glad i got my v11- at 5k revs the guzz is tight, eager and fierce! The Byonk is all done and crappy.

My pal had a ulyssesses... it was hideous... can’t recommend them. Weirdly top-heavy, felt like revs maxed out at around 4k, finish was appalling (loom running over sharp edges) , ‘design features’ like the pekky frame and oily swingarm seemed unnecessary. Edit: lets not forget the shitty belt drive...

The scura. Byoooootiful! x

Damn that’s clean. (That red single)

Indeed. Certainly trumps my ‘glue six magnets to the brake disc bolts’ approach!

Ace pertaters. I reckon a monza’d be just the ticket for tooting about through yorkshire and derbyshire. edit: i luurve the light blue paint-scheme

You chaps dream big! I’m feeling the need to put restrictions on monetary values here... We already have a thread about ‘dweam bikes wot i’d wuv to have pwease!’ (GIVE ME A MGS01 LORD) I’m talking about relatively cheap bikes guys. Bikes that there’s no reason not to have (bar the space). Praps under the five thousand mark..?

Ooo that’sa bonza bike!

Forgot to mention my guzzlist: v50 monza and v35 imola...

Ducati? hmmm... just fill the thing with expanding foam... be reet.

What bike would you like to own but for some godfersaken reason you aint bought yet? I’m talking about bikes that aren’t exclusive (yet), aren’t expensive (yet) and aren’t too weird but you’d love to womble into the garage and see it sitting there! Personally i can’t get away from twins, so a Ducati 750ss (early nineties bodywork) and a Yam 850 trx make part of my list. Enough ipa+ebay+gay abandon= poss purchase!

I’ve recently fitted Woodcraft clips with the 3” rise. Installed them below the top yolk and due to the clamps being two-piece you can fit/fiddle/remove without disassembling the front end. Which is ace. For me they feel spot on and, due to the rise, there’s the option of raising them if required.

Dallas to Portland! Sounds like happy trundling a-gogo!

.. what about one each?

Looking nice + dark.... apart from those dreadfully garish fork tubes of course. I suggest you break out the teeny tin of Humbrol (tm) gloss black and set to!

Haha!

Hey did we get anywhere with the andreani kit? Anyone using them yet?
