Slavomir Musilek (R.I.P.) Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Hi All, maybe someones will remember me, I had V11 4 yrs ago, badly crashed it, repaired it, equipped with Ohlins, ported heads, PWC, raced some circuits and sold it with 100.000km on the clock. I wanted change. Guzzi was known to me down to single bolt. So I got Ducati Sport Classic, crashed one from Italy. Equiped it with some shiny bits here and there and thought it will be enough for some time. What a FOOL was I!!! One ride with friend and his Nero Corsa opened my eyes again. It is not Ducati what I need. I need a Guzzi. Very very badly. The Ducati is pleasant, neck-braking rider position, no comfort, fast, agile, shiny, loud and sweet. But as many said before - Once you taste Guzzi, you're leave it and never try again, or, stick to it whole life. So, after a year or so I have logged again to this wonderfull site and will be most happy if you take me back. Oh yes, and I forgot, the new beast will be 1100 Sport (not V11 anymore). Well.... there will be just engine and frame from Sport 1100. I've fallen in love with bikes from Dynotec Germany and since I cannot offer a new one, I will have to built up my own. some pics of my Ducati to please your eyes...

Thankyou, that Ducati pleases my eyes. Welcome back to the forum
Tom M Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Welcome back Slavomir! Nice Duc you have there. Now let's see a pic of your Sport
RHIP Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Welcome back to the fold! I, too thought a Ducati was what I needed, had a very nice Monster, but sold it for my Guzzi. No regrets: the Guzzi has so much more soul. Have a Budvar for me - the best beer in the world!
jrt Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Welcome back. What are you having for a drink while you work on the bike?
Slavomir Musilek (R.I.P.) Posted September 16, 2011 Author Posted September 16, 2011 Welcome back. What are you having for a drink while you work on the bike? Thanks Jrt! Usually some wine, mostly red wine from Spain like Tarapaca or some heavy czech wine. The Morgan rum you can see is a medicine RHIP, Budvar is good, but there are better ones! Breweries in Czech (in english)

The 1100 Sporti was the direct ancestor [father? mother?] of the V11 Sport; all you will be missing is the 6-spd gearbox, really: everything else is similar, if not quite the same! Bonus: steel tank, so no worries about alcohol in the fuel [current "hot" thread reference. ] Ride on!
savagehenry Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Yeah, good to see you here again, and glad to hear you aren't easily busted up in a crash, or two

Admin Jaap Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Congratulations! Do you have pics? :pic:
Slavomir Musilek (R.I.P.) Posted September 19, 2011 Author Posted September 19, 2011 just those from ebay... the 5th speed is howling but it is not big deal, front fairing was cut to accomodate naked handlebars (WTF????). It went for reasonabla price in the end. Anyway, all I need is the frame, engine and wheels.
