Sheeza beautiful lady, no?

[nudemetalz]

Finally had a break in the crap weather so decided to wash the V11 and gave her a CRC....

Being the typical Italian, she decided to be tempermental and not want to start up..

Here she is in her gleaming glory...
Magnifico !!

Your efforts have clearly paid of buddy, she is looking bloody gorgeous.

[DJSin]

It's lovely!

[gatch]

Choice mate, that is a sexy italian.

[AllanB]

Very nice. I seriously looked at one of them years back with they had a big Guzzi discount with a dealer going out of them.

It's a brand that has been slutted around the dealers a fair bit in Christchurch over the years. Good to see there is a dedicated Guzzi dealer set up down Manchester St now.

[willytheekid]

mmmmmm Beautiful !
....but then again...Im a wee bit bias :yes:

Nothin like a guzzi.....when they start lol (mine likes to drain batteries)


Edit: Removed pic of "phat Girl" due this thread being about Nudemetalz "georgeous" V11.....love the bike Nude!

[smoky]

I got one of those fences too

[sondela]

Si Sheeza molto Bella!
I hope she started...?

[SMOKEU]

That's a pretty dope ride right there.

[Rogue Rider]

That's the first lady, she is simply beautiful.:gob:

[Cayman911]

Your lady confirms my exhaust fetish. beauty

[Conquiztador]

Very nice. Apart from the ugly headlight and those humangous mufflers!

[nudemetalz]

I agree with you on that the mufflers are way too big and when Mrs Nudey is looking the other way I'll get some more "sound enhancing" lighter mufflers for it, but I like the classic headlight. Suits it.

[shrub]

Beeeeeeeeeautiful

[avgas]

She looks like a cruel mistress.

[rachprice]

oooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shiney!

[grbaker]

Very nice.:love:

[Insanity_rules]

Italian bikes always make the blood drain from my brain.

[willytheekid]

Attach more pic's!!! :yes:

...shiney ones...with sparkles...love ya bike!

[T.W.R]

:shutup: ditch the mufflers asap...you have too anyhow you've scratched one :blip:

[cs363]

Looking good Chris! :D

What sort of pipes are you thinking of fitting when time/money/Mrs Nudey permits?

[98tls]

Indeed gorgeous mate,are you using the 808 CRC silicone?

[nudemetalz]

Nope, just CRC 5.56 as I needed to dewater it to get the electric on/off switch to enable her to want to start up again anyway. FIgured out how to fix it,....lots of silicone sealant !!!!
and yes I dunno how that scratch got there, one theory is bike parking too close in town. Bloody scooter riders don't care at all.

Pipes? Unsure yet, budget constraints since junior was born hasn't helped but I'll find a way ;)

Suzukis start first pop after being washed, or ridden in the rain.....

[nudemetalz]

perhaps they do....but...would you have a C152 that just goes and goes and goes or would you have a Harvard that can be unreliable every now and then but every flight is another experience....

(this is just my opinion BTW, ..I do like Gixxers)

[cs363]

Pasta gets a bad rap but is actually a better choice than rice.


Must be true, it was on the interweb! http://en.allexperts.com/q/Nutrition-Dieting-939/2008/10/Rice-Vs-Pasta.htm

[nudemetalz]

I remember the time my Guzzi wouldn't start and I cranked on her for ages...then she backfired from all of that mixture in the cylinders, blew one of the injectors off the manifold and started as a 550 single...scared the beejezuz out off me !!

[Pussy]

(this is just my opinion BTW, ..I do like Gixxers)

I actually like your bike, too! :)

I even ride with pasta munchers every now and then.....216870

[Edbear]

Purty as a picture! :yes: I do like them but in the green...

[98tls]

Suzukis start first pop after being washed, or ridden in the rain..... Really,i have a sometime TL500 that begs to differ sir.:shifty:

[nudemetalz]

Really,i have a sometime TL500 that begs to differ sir.:shifty:

He's referring to the Morris 1100 Gixxers......

[Pussy]

Really,i have a sometime TL500 that begs to differ sir.:shifty:

It's that Italian cylinder pattern, Mike!.....

[cs363]

Really,i have a sometime TL500 that begs to differ sir.:shifty:

You are not alone......

[nudemetalz]

You are not alone......

hahahahahaha....
Gets better......

You think that's funny? Check these gems out....... :rofl: :rofl:

[SVboy]

I googled "Reliable Guzzis" and got no hits! Whats that about!

[nudemetalz]

Mine got me to Wanaka and back for the airshow without any problems. The Yamaha Fazer and Buell I was with weren't quite so reliable....

[tamarillo]

bloody lovely, sort of tractor crossed with Ducati - and I mean that as compliment. These things have real soul.

[nudemetalz]

Thanks Tamarillo.
Yup soul is definitely what Guzzis have. They have their own personality. You have to understand it's quirks and idiosyncrasies to own it. Like for instance how to start it when it doesn't bloody want to !!

I'm in the process of CAD designing a fender-eliminator to get rid of that ugly black plastic hanging off the back.

[rabidnz]

those are some expensive looking crash bungs you got there !
