Thanks for the invitation

[CIV11]

First thanks to the persons that make this site what it is.

Tomorrow I will take delivery of my 1st V11, I currently have a 2003 Stone which I am keeping.

I've had one other Guzzi a 75 850 T which I no longer have.

 

To put it briefly, I have just purchased a V11 that I've been transfixed by. The bike, without doubt, exceeds my capabilites as a rider now.

 

I hope not to bore with dumb questions that I'm going to ask.

Hal,

 

Welcome to the V11 board!

 

I believe I know you on your stone. What made you go toward the V11 series? Yes, I am the one on the Green V11 Sport and 03 Rosso and proud new owner of a 03 Ghezzi & Brian. By the way, I also have a 2000 Jackal project in the works.

Good for you Hal!,

 

I have a problem with just one bike as you can see.

 

You will enjoy your new bike, just take your time with it and you will like the way it feels. Which bike are you taking to Arizona?

Hey Hal

 

Welcome to the bright side !! I look forward to riding with y'all on the V11s

 

 

 

Cheers, Tim

Wow, what a bike.

Now, I know what Tim means by the bright side.

I had a wonderful weekend getting to know the Coppa Italia.

I will need many more.

It is very hard to keep the Revs down for the breakin period

I'm used to my Stone, and the horn and turn indicators are reversed, so I went around blowing the horns for unintentionally.

I'll try to post a link for a couple quick pics. Hope it works.

Man I really like that Copa I think I might have mine painted to match at some point in the near future. Cause I also like the red frame mine has and I can't see selling mine to get a new one with different paint. call me crazy
