    I might need a new engine.....

    YEOWCH! Is that a 2v or QV Griso you were riding? Sorry, don't know enough of the differences btw them to recognize which it would be just from the pic of the demolished sump...

    PC-V'ed Norge Dyno Run

    This is why Harley likes to talk torque #s instead of HP, 'cause riding feel is all about the torque: HP is just a function of torque, so a Harley w/ 50 #-ft and a powerband only 4k rpm wide [1k-5k] is eminently more satisfying to ride around on vs. a Honda RC165 (?? - whichever the 5cyl 250GP...

    The Griso You all want, makes all others slow

    C'mon, don't hold back, Pete: tell us how you really feel! :lol: For those who're out of the loop, the Big Bore kit that Millepercento announced a couple years ago got plenty of airplay over on the v11lm forums where I usually play. Up shot is that there's no replacement for displacement, so...

    Marzocchi 41.7 Non-USD Fork Damper Mods

    No experience to answer your questions, but some observations: Wouldn't "Non-USD" translate to "RSU" ["Right Side Up"?] ;) Traditional damper-rod forks are largely unsatisfactory: that's why cartridge-emulators from Race-Tech & al came into existence! The nature of damper rod forks is such...

    Need help: Strange 88mm pistons in my engine

    Get out a Wiseco catalog & look thru the VW pistons the same way Tonti did when he was collaborating with the racers when they first started hotting up the loop frames back in the 60s! That's probably the original source for your odd 6.5mm dome ht. that you discovered upon tear down... Good luck!

    Wraith-like Guzzi

    Who cares what they call it? It's triple-bagger FUGLY, & they'd have to pay me to ride it, not the other way 'round! :sick:

    Latest news from Mandello

    The Google satellite image referenced above doesn't display any rubble [but who knows how recently updated?] Perhaps the buildings weren't "torn down" so much as gutted? Removing any non-structural interior walls & rewiring the resulting shells for flexible manufacturing needs might be the...

    polarized sunglasses

    I love polarized glasses for precisely this reason! B) You know what else shows up w/ swirly colors? Oil on pavement! I can live w/ the inability to read my LCD panels unless I tilt my head :side: left or right, & the colorful view thru the faceshield, in exchange for the advance notice...

    More power and torque from a B11?

    This same question was hashed out repeatedly over @ v11LM.com years ago. Of course, the new CARC (double spine) bikes use an entirely different airbox than the old spine frames, but one telling comment in that thread from Phil A. [dry lakes racer in OZ] who "showed us the way" was to the effect...

    Ram Air and Cold Air Intakes

    For the same amount of effort, you can hook up a supercharger and have measurable results! ;)

    Sayonara Axone!

    I was going to say that this might be driven by Texa, but somebody already pointed that out. Given that possibility, perhaps you should contact Texa direct about their failure to support Axone any longer, and possible recourse (discounted upgrade?)

    Smog check Bill in SoCal - PLEASE READ/WRITE

    Signed. Something to bear in mind is that contacting Pavley thru her CA Senate website is impossible if you don't live in her district. So look up your own CA Senator and rattle his or her cage! Took me all of 5 extra minutes [including composing the message.] In my message I pointed out...

    Moto Guzzi Big Twins Book by Greg Field Question

    Re:Moto Guzzi Big Twins Book by Greg Field Questio I've had my copy for 5 years or more, iirc the cover price was $29.95? Maybe $24.95... I could check when I get home, but of course I won't remember by then, I've got a bad case of CRS. No, you can't have mine, it's one of my favorite books...

    SAVE MPH!

    Bruce Brodnax - Laguna Niguel, CA - not a customer. User of their website and look forward to being a customer in the (as yet) distant future when I move back to Texas. Insane of PiaggioUSA to alienate their pitifully small but dedicated existing dealer base.
