docc Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 Lucky Phil’s Shift Improvement along with the extended lever certainly help, but his advice to preload the shift lever and take the slack out of the clutch before making the shift is most important. I was doing this before, but after reading his Shift Improvement thread, I am surprised at how much preload the lever will take, especially downshifting. It was fun listening to the rider laughing maniacally in his helmet with the acceleration. Those look like great V11 roads! 1
gstallons Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 I must be doin' somethin' wrong . Once I get rolling , I don't use the clutch until I come to a stop 1

Chuck Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Well, he wasn't going very fast, but he *was* having a good time.. and that is what it is all about anyway. 3

docc Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Sure do hope our brothers in the Southern Hemisphere keep the riding pictures coming. Buzz says, "We'll pay you back in a few months. Promise!" 1
Lucky Phil Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Don't remind me docc, winter is on its way:( Ciao

The seal isn't really what is leaking. It's the sorry job I did replacing the sideplate after my last inspection/ Chuck-made~Scud Spring /and partial Lucky Phil Shift Improvement. Really just looking to keep up a relationship with my Sport while there are Winter Weather Advisories . . . (Thanks for asking, footgoose! )
docc Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 Tonight, I had to learn what is "graupel" and riming. Turned the V11 on and warmed its PC545 for a few minutes. Gives me high hopes to see pics of actual riding from The Flip-Side . . . .

Some how I have a picture in my head of you going downstairs to fondle on her again. And all she does is roll her blinkers at you all the while thinking "Is he really going to do this again" 1 2
Lucky Phil Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 So little action here re Aussie roads. I have so few electronic images of riding, most are old printed stuff. Here's a few from more recent times although a bit boring. This is a fairly large water reservoir near home that I visit often as it's on one of my usual country rides. I like to keep an eye on it's condition as its one of the main water supplies for Melbourne. I've seen it looking dismal and beautiful over the years depending on its level. There is a sailing club and a couple of picnic areas around it and a very nice 18 klm long open bushland walk around its perimeter which the wife and I have done quite a few time. Out there is total quiet except for the birds most of the times. Here's the Guzzi parked there a few years ago. My old ST2 parked at one of the picnic areas. Here's a shot I got there on a very still day. Very reflective mood. A trip into the city a few years ago to have lunch with my wife. A Sunday at my local hill climb about 10 min from home. The end of my street. 30 min drive from the heart of Melbourne. Ciao 4 1
footgoose Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 NO Guzzi bike pics are boring. Or a Cobra Daytona Coupe! The end of your street could be 30 min outside of Indianapolis from the look of it. 2

I thought I might build a Daytona Coupe one day, then I sat in that one and changed my mind. 6'2" people need not apply. Ciao
