Wow ! Very nice !

Thanks Tim,

 

Do you use an external mike for the video ? In the early part of the video you can hear the engine & transmission without the wind noise.

I only used the GoPro Session, no external microphone. The early parts were at lower speeds and still air. The later parts were at higher speeds and there was some wind.

That was a nice way to start the day early this morning.

 

Made me feel like I ridden the Sport to work. Through Arizona. :sun:

Glad you enjoyed it. FWIW - the whole video was in California, except for the ending, which was at the "Welcome to Arizona" sign about 1/4 mile after crossing the Colorado River (which is also the CA/AZ border).

 

Wish you were here?  I've got 3 working V11s at the moment. Come on out and ride one. Not sure how long that situation will last...

You have 2 listed , what's # 3 ?

 

The Greenie in the video. My part of her story starts at the beginning of this topic.

After having such a nice ride recently, I've decided to keep the Greenie for a while and to sell my red 2003 LeMans.

 

Here's a partial list of stuff the green tart has swiped:

 

  1. Ohlins Shock
  2. Shindy Steering damper
  3. Titanium exhaust and high-mount hangers
  4. Ghezzi-Brian carbon fiber hugger/fender
  5. LED taillight (MartyNZ special) and LED rear turn signals
  6. Joe Kenny Headguards

Scud, I take it that those head guards are impossible to find anymore.

What kind are on the Lemans?

Yeah the Joe Kenny ones were made by an enthusiast - I think they are rare and special. Such nice workmanship... beveled edges, right and left facing eagles, recesses for bolt heads, and they work with the shape of the heads. I like them a lot. They look especially good on a silver engine.

 

I don't know the source of the ones on the LeMans now - they were on the Greenie when I got it.

There are still a few of those head guards available in Australia.

Here is picture of Joe Kenny's "standard with holes" head guard I got for my bike. There are a few left of other versions in Motociclo in Sydney. Link below.

Apparently they bought the last of Joe Kenny's stock. 

Their website is a bit average, but if you message me, I may be able to help you get some.
