To waspp: I'm T3 partial too. The T3 is "the bike" and is the one that is in my garage since 1995... There is no other bike can take my attention more :-)

 

To nogbad: thank you for be so tollerant :-)

It's an hold problem that sometimes dont make me post freely. I'm proud and happy when I read posts made by german, english or french folks using my language. It's fun as well. My idea is that communication is the more important goal to follow. Form is just form. Anyway I will try to write the best I can.

 

To belfastguzzi: the bike is a lil different now and maybe is nearest to my (and your probably) idea of perfection. This is a never ended project

 

Again to nogbad: you mean the hole where battery was? I did created by intention, following some style of german guzzisti. Battery is under the frame, for better handling. Even the rear brake pump was changed to accentuate that "hole". The goal was to let see the great Tonti's triangulation of the frame tubes.

 

To frenchbob: bike is usually stored in my office in winter. I like to see my bikes around me :-))

 

To G.POLEGATO: ciao Giovanni e grazie per il benvenuto. Ho letto con attenzione il forum relativo alla Tenni. Io ne ho una.... ma piccola piccola :-)

Scherzi a parte chiedo ad un paio di amici (concessionari Guzzi: tra Lombardia e piemonte ne ho qualcuno che si è fatto fare il sito da me e siamo in contatto). A presto

Me too - tho I'm gettin more & more fond of the Scura the more it does for me, I'll never let the old Tonti go. Check out http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=6494&hl= - maybe you could add your T3 photo?

 

...& Belfast: perhaps nows the time to come clean with a photo on that thread?

You've got one wot does for you? Didn't realise. 'Spose the ironing has to be done somehow, while you're out trackdaying and so forth.

You'd be better to let the butler go. Once these old boys aren't kept productive, you'll find your whisky and cigar stocks mysteriously diminishing.

 

Have you ever tried a Nogbad? I'm considering getting one for the bottom of the garden.

I wouldn't. They beat your cat to death and blight your plants.

I will add my pic soon.

The Café Sport is my first "modern" (guzzi). Well, I have ridden a lot, cause I worked as a Mechanic in a Guzzi Shop for a few time. But own yours is different.

I have to say, after 3 weeks, that is real nice to drive. Easy. I was surprised how easy is now to get the Neutral :-)

Then another surprise was when the bike did not shut down at the first stop, as my old V7 :-)

 

Anyway this morning I had a fast trip with the "Old Tonti" in the motorway around my town. I have to say that you can keep the gas with it as well. And it's more spicy... probably 10-15 Cv more than the V11 (a folk named Bruno Scola putted his hand on it). For sure, with clip-ons, long tank and my settings (carburettors and suspensions), is not meant for long trips.

Well ok... I will talk after a bit of tuning on the V11 as well.

Probably the V11 will be "The bike" for the next years...

 

Thank you for your welcome Baldini
