Ex-Lurker presentation !

[Andre]

Well gang, it took me ages walking in that dark tunnel of salvation, trying to reach the blur light at the end of it, but finally end up with this

 

 

 

then you could say, hey what the heck is this guy coming in this forum

dedicated to v11 ... well seven years ago when this project starts, v11

was just a fairy tale ... so when I saw the pictures in Magz of the V11 I

say to myself sh.. what I'm gonna do with the wreck laying in the barn !

but keep going - now the project is swallow and the wallet hum ...yes

the wallet is damn empty - I'm lurking (again) to a 2nd hand v11 that's

why I'm on in this forum to get the best info. possible for my next generation

of MG (maybe a nera corso).

 

Ooh if necessary

 

I'm from rainy Belgium, driving the right side of the road, drinking gooood beer and no the brussels' sprouts isnt a speciality !

 

cheers

thank you vmuch

as I said earlier, is time for me now to settle down for a 2nd hand

V11 - preferably nera corsa - just fearing the behaviour of the

injection vs my carbs version which is a "living experience"

 

André

[dlaing]

No need to fear fuel injection.

There are many solutions to the minor issues.

The available fuel and ignition mapping tools available give you far more control than jets, needles and points.

Go for it!

...But do NOT sell that beeeyuuuutiful bike!

[soloNH]

WELL DONE !!

 

She really is a beauty, does my heart good to see something so clean and elegant!

[jrt]

Very nice! What kind of tank is that?

[helicopterjim R.I.P.]

I'm going to say pretty much the same as when I saw the picture of badmotogoozer's Ducati:

 

Ohhhhh dude!!!!!!!

[Guzzirider]

Nice one Andre! Looks mean and minimalist!!

 

You have some great roads in Belgium- hope you get to enjoy it lots!

[big J]

Now THAT'S what Guzzi's new bike should look like.

 

Beautiful,Andre

[Andre]

All

 

Was out of town for a few days so sorry couldnt reply before now !

 

yes I like it minimalist indeed -

 

JRT - the tank was bought at www.thetankshop.com some year ago

the first idea was to let the ally tank unpainted but I saw sooo

many Guzzi already in that configuration that I change my mine

the same for the saddle that I also bough from the same source

which was resold later to a friend

 

I'm still in the run in stage, and with 2k km on the clok it appears that the marzzochi is way too hard, so I dismantle it and I'm awaiting another pair of

springs and then fiddle with the oil thickness/volume to have working !

 

originally it was a T3 !! but put a pair of LM I heads with twinspark and

40 dellorto carbs

 

André

[badmotogoozer]

Beautiful job! That is one stunning Guzzi you've built!

Andre,

 

Great looking bike! The 7 years paid off! How about a full spec? Please.

 

What are the pipes? Crossbow/PR copies in s/s? What is the front wheel? Brakes? Footrests...?..etc....

 

Thanks, KB

 

This is my T3:

[callison]

Baldini,

 

is that a Norton seat you have mounted? Resembles the old Norton Commando or is it just me?

 

Looks cool!

this fab looking bike is very similar to one of the HTM (or something liek that I think) bikes. Its a German company who build special Guzzis, the exhausts are made by them and I assume many of the other bits too. Been trying to find a web site link that I used to have which showed their bikes but can't find it (will look again tomorrow).

 

They are still around, they were at Boxmeer this year (fab rally), love the style of these bikes.
