Thursday Fun Night (Re-named)

[Renrag39]

Name that bike!

Picked up my new ride yesterday evening on the way to work.
Now home and 100 miles in.
Runs like a dream and pulls like a train.
Carries it's weight with aplomb, even with a full tank. Shrugs off side gusts. Major bonus.
Far more agile than I thought possible and carves through sweeping corners on rails.
Fantastic crackle on the overrun and a symphonic bass boom as I pour on the coals.

Should be able to guess the Make fairly easily.

@Renrag39 As it looks like a longitudinal V Twin I'd guess that it's a Moto Guzzi?

 

[dranddad]

BMW 1st thought

 

[Renrag39]

Spot on Mike.
1151cc's worth of Guzzi!
~105bhp.
~84ft/lb.
230kg. Dry!

Rockers coming off today. Might need an upgrade to rollerised tappets rather than the flat heads.
Known fault. Need to check wear if not fitted.

 

[dranddad]

Very nice Andy, but where does all the fishing gear go.

Nice machine very slick looking.

Man, I would love to get my bike over there and take a ride through the English countryside!!! Nice looking bike!

 

[Renrag39]

On my back Phil! I travel light.

Thanks @Drummer79
Wish I could go for a more meaningful ride atm. Currently it's just for work but I did pick up my essentials via the scenic route yesterday.

See you all this evening!

 

[Bass Addict]

Room & chat are open...

 

[dranddad]

Thanks Larry for a great night.

That had to be one of the best series races so for, I lost count how many times the lead changed hands. Good-win for the Red team (Michael & Scott)

We also found a few new favorite combos to go along with CopenVGT

Lockdown overspill provisions

 

[MikeyLCR]

I see som important things at the bottom

 

[hybridgts]

Ahh man I even wanted to join for yesterday but completely forgot! How have you been chaps?

 

[dranddad]

I see som important things at the bottom

Yep there are three of them cases on wheels, two behind that one. On the right, in the hole you can see is a big case full of champagne. We like our tipple with dinner but we could do with building the stocks back up, lots of nibbles for film nights.

@hybridgts doing well thanks, staying clear of all this Covid stuff in my little den. hope you and your family are all staying well.

 

[hybridgts]

Not too bad for us Phillip, thanks. Hate being on furlough but what can you do.

 

[hybridgts]

Different topic: do any of you guys know anyone that's skilled at doing liveries in the game? Looking to get custom liveries done for the future, so I'd love to know any suggestions if you have any.

Sad to report that I will be MIA...wife turns 29 tomorrow (yet again! ) and she has other plans for me! I tried to talk her into her debut on GTS and TFN...well, I won't repeat her reply!

Have fun everyone and see you next week!

Sorry I haven’t been around much. Between work, broken down cars and school (I’m now studying online to be a machinist) things have been incredibly busy. Fingers crossed, I’ll meet up with you guys next week.

 

[dranddad]

@oldguy58 we thought you lost connection Scott, hope it's back on soon.

@Pigpin13 your seat is always open Joe, life is busy at time in keeping a roof over ones head, see you when things ease a little.

Nice to have Craig and Ant join in for the fun.

Next week is the April Endurance.
