big J Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Well, the sun was shining today,went for a wee burn on the Guzzi with the better half to try out the Triboseat cover[a rear seat cover that fits over the seat with a grippy texture,stops the passenger sliding about]. Couple of hours bombing down backroads,stopped for a pint in Lusk,had a dice with a GSXR on the way home [very funny,the guy was so tucked in he looked velcro'd to the tank] he must have been a crap rider cos I was faster, and I'm slower than treacle. The bike never missed a beat,ran great tho I wish the post service hadn't lost the Mistrals I bought,far too quiet stock. Anyway,just wanted to post something that wasn't a tale of woe or something breaking down. These V11's are brilliant bikes,every time I go out on mine,I'm so glad I never bought anything else.I can sympathise with Brian of course, but for me,right now right here,they are the finest.
DeBenGuzzi Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 I agree I love the feel it has a soul much like a harley but tons more fun to drive I went for a jaunt today and am going to go back out. I am very glad I got this bike over the Triumph Sprint(a good bike too) but the sprint doesn't have near as much character or feel. Everytime I thunder onto the freeway I'm reminded why this is a great bike just as long as I don't think about all the things that can go wrong from reading far too many posts.

I looked at my bike through a bush and it looked just fine. A big bag of sand hid the fact that it had no back end, so that was pretty jolly hockey sticks.
belfastguzzi Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 And the sun stayed sunny and the wind got only a little windy and things got – even better. Look – two wheels now! Yippee! And these bikes look better without seats and stuff anyway, so I might as well just leave it like this. I wonder will tomorrow be so good? Oh, it's gonna be Monday.
big J Posted April 24, 2005 Author Posted April 24, 2005 Nice to see you bearing up against adversity,bfg. Do you hang about in bushes often?
