You can't always get what you want ( as Mick Jagger sang lol ) Tony. I hope your wife gets well soon, and you got your sticker for the van

Great news Nick, you got there in the end, well done

Chris.

As this build finishes my mind turns to the next project, I have 6 months to think about it as I like to ride over the summer months... Yesterday I moved the cars and bikes out of the garage so I could give it all a good clean. Moving the bikes around made me realize just how heavy the Guzzi feels ...

I have fitted a Renthal handlebar brace, see link below if you want to see what it looks like:

I had been thinking about this for a while. I noticed some flex in the Renthal Ultra Low handlebars I fitted, mainly when picking the bike from the side stand. So after a recent discussion on this with a very good friend of mine I have decided to fit a Renthal handlebar brace. It has certainly made ...

Have a great time Tony

Flippin' 'eck Tony you don’t hang around, another fine build, well done

I can imagine it is nimble with that weight and power.

Don't you just love the simple fix when you are looking for something more complicated, well done to your friend and his multimeter

I know I've said it before, but I'm going to say it again :lol: Plusgas is one of the best for penetrating seized threads. Well done Mick :clap: :clap: Chris. Agree but a 50-50 mix of ATF & Acetone works wonders. I mixed up a ltrs worth, in a bottle*. Shake it up, it separate's out when left, &...

In our defence we were running into a 20mph headwind which must have knocked a bit off the top speed :lol: I would be more than happy with the times you and Tony achieved. I think you both did really well 8) 8) 8O 8O I wonder if Tony has seen my data I found in my previous post yet :?: :eh: :shh: :...

Good luck in finding one with the bottom lugs intact as they are not the strongest points on the seat fairing. However I have seen occasionally an intact one appear on Ebay.

I had a Quick Look on old road tests and CycleWorld in the USA tested the 1190 Adventure and got a 1/4 mile time of 10.6s. So now i need to go back and see if I can launch it more aggressively to find that missing second. Maybe I should leave TC on as the rubbered track is so grippy I don’t think t...
