After a year on this very informative site, I finally figured how to load a photo. It's a 2000 V 11 Sport. It has 41500 on it and is solid. Bought January 2021. Someone asked why I bought it? Reply; It's sex on toast! LOL

I am the third owner. Second owner is a friend. He bought it with 850 miles. He had it shipped to Oregon 20 years ago. He moved North and asked if I would mind riding it to its new home. Really twisted my arm. So, when he decided to sell, I said I'll take it. I have been riding BMW/Suzuki Dual sports since 1995. Clunky dual sport boots don't work very well on the V11. Found a pair of road boots and have enjoyed riding this machine. Added a pair of risers [some shop out of Houston] and longer brake/clutch lines. It's a kit. Really helped with comfort. Bike has several custom features: carbon fibre front fender, bikini fairing, cowl, titanium exhaust, headers and silencers, plus all stock parts and records from new. The seat isn't that bad! I love how the engine revs up to 7000 rpm and just pulls.  Might be the sound...  LOL

I’ve never heard a V11 described as sex on toast. I’m trying to imagine what sex on toast is like

With as many V11 as you have @Guzzimax, it's more like an orgy on a loaf of crusty bread . . .

Visited the MEBC today (Moto Euro Breakfast Club). Check out the lovely new MV Augusta Turismo Veloce Lusso. Bodywork is the same color as my Scura's frame plate. And let's not ignore the Brutale 1090 hiding behind that...

Zappa lyrics come to mind with the "sex on toast" riff. "Sir Richard Pump-a-loaf, a demented bread boffer.....still better than polishing electrical connections....maybe....word association gumbo.

We've had 60+ degree weather all week but there are still some snow piles cleared from parking lots. 

I'd just come from Don's place trying to get my commission money.   All I got was a lousy photo.  :huh:
