Having done more research, & contacting German & Austrian authorities on the matter, i can conclude that this is doable. I am yet to recieve word from the Austrians, but the German authorities told me that their strict winter tyre laws do not extend to motorcycles. The Italian laws are about as...
That got me thinking about the laws in Germany. I did see a bmw riding toward me in baden-wuertemburg in dec 2017, but i'm getting mixed reports of their laws in regards to this, so i've contacted the authorities there for an answer straight from the horse's mouth.
As for wanting to use a bike...
Hello all,
This is my last post for at least 12 months - i sold my nevada back in april due to a slipping clutch. I was also trying to get a job as a snowboard instructor & was too lazy to make chains for my beloved nevada.
Anyways, i intend to buy another Guzzi in Germany & take it to the...
Love your responses, guys. I will definetely try this in the next 2 years regardless of where i end up, & i will create a thread & post my results if my account still exists by then.
I am unsure what this forum's rules are when it comes to inactivity, nor do i think i would remember my password...
You just described my plans. But, i was going to grab everything in the engine bay instead of the whole car due to space issues. But, this may not happen for a few years - as next year is my last shot at a working holiday visa
This may get me in trouble for talking complete & utter nonsense, but after inviting other members to share stories, i felt it necessary to share my own. This one happened quite recently, mid January, when i headed south of the border, down..... Victoria way.
One day i was looking on google maps...
I just installed a new front tyre without applying talc to the tube. It appaers the shop that fitted the metzeler didn't, either. However, the tube is a heavy duty michelin airstop about 4mm thick with a metal valve & the rim itself is knurled. Should i be worried? I completely forgot about this...
Bare in mind that i'm going by the principle of twice measured, once cut. I will not attempt this until i am confident i can do it & have the funds to finish it. But, i have already priced a few parts - engine at $440, external fuel pump at $130, i've seen exhaust-grade piping at $20 per metre...
Thanks for the advice. My idea was to measure up the current frame, download some freeware blueprinting or design software, then design & build an extended front frame that will not only accomodate the engine & radiator, but also bolt right on to the rear end just like the original. An extra...
Not sure about VIC, but in NSW, we generally don't have emissions tests on anything classified as "used". If brakes & lights are up to scratch, instruments are metric, the filter is covered & sound doesn't exceed 98 dB, it'll be sweet.
The engine i speak of is the 2NZ-FE. It produces 63kW with...
I just visited that site. I reckon there'd be a bit of trouble getting it to Australia, but the overall cost is quite reasonable & still cheaper than a CBR1000. Sure, i could build a Nevada-based machine powered by a 1.2 litre toyota engine for less, (i posted a thread about these plans asking...
I knew about the Stelvio - they pulled out long ago here. From what i've read, i thought it was because it didn't sit well with buyers. I guess the Griso was being cleared last year & i had other things to do - hence i only found out recently. My only gripe with many 'Guzzis are their lack of...
Just a hair-brained idea floating around my head for quite some time, i have long fantasized about attaching a car engine to a 'Guzzi box. The candidates were an alloytec V6 from a commodore, 6G72 "cyclone" V6 from a magna, & any boxer 4 from a subaru. However, the subaru & mitsubishi engines...
