1977 Moto Guzzi Le Mans. Oh yes. Had one. Now I have much regret. Now they're too pricey.

K1100RS. I've been on my bicycle more and motorcycle less these days.

Sweet! Yours is identical.

Actually mine is both
Its a 400, exact same model as your but with the 600 motor swapped in although I prefer the 400 sound, its way faster with the larger motor.

I'd love to get my hands on the last gen one though. Such an improved machine over these.

hey for you fellow moto-heads, I occasionally will spend winter hours working on techy style drawings, re-drawing from old fiches and manuals. I did a screenprint of the latest one, an exploded view of the Dell Orto PHM carburetor which was used on several marques of Euro bikes like BMW, Ducati, Motoguzzi, KTM.

So the prints are available for $30. Pimp your shop, or the walls of your apartment

I'll add my old 89 1000 to make it a full run of the FZRs

Have a buddy that had a couple of the FZR750s from 88 if I'm not mistaken that he was working on restoring but bailed on the project.

Spring is here. 2001 Ultra Classic. I used to ride it. Not so much the last few years. I guess I should sell it

[VTCaraco]

My riding tapered and tapered and tapered between interest in riding my bike and my son getting older; so sold last fall and converted the bike to a 3rd vehicle to alleviate the strain of 3 drivers.
Selling was MUCH more painful than I expected...rode the bike to meet the seller and the sweepy, dance-like connection was almost overwhelming. But to my surprise, I'm not lusting the sensation as spring and motos return.

This makes me confident that, for me, it was the right move. You can always buy-in again in the future if you lean in that direction...

On a side note, still have an Arai Quantum 2 in size Large if anyone is interested in adding a nice lid. Picked this up around 2008 as NOS and used for less than 1,000 miles (and often with a balaclava). Ping me if anyone has interest.
