    Electrical problems, bodywork that flies off if you go too fast, and a radiator that's made of cheese and attached with toothpicks. Buy one to display, not ride. If you ride it, ride it gently.

    Stand by for the OP's indignant assertion that his bikes are just fine, etc.

    Welcome to the forum, Mr Castle.

    And yes, earlier versions of vBulletin had a much cleaner UI. It's gone downhill.

    Posting drunk is still the way to go, though.

    I'm here to share my experiences of riding around NZ & the USA on a variety of bikes. Advise on importing bikes to NZ from the USA. Advise on servicing, modifying & trouble shooting MV Agusta F4's & the Brutale. Advise on where to source OEM or aftermarketparts for these bikes.
    Quite keen to have a laugh along the way.
    I hope that does not sound indignant. I don't mean to sound indignant.

    Welcome to KB. Don't say you are sorry and don't worry about sounding indigent, probably a shit stir anyhow. 90% of the time you can expect to get shit but there will be a lot other reader that don't reply that appreciate well meant advice, even when they don't agree.
    Enjoy the ride and I see the fun has begun

    Welcome and I'm sure you don't really need all those MV's maybe I could help you offload one.

    Only experience of an MV was way back in the 70's when a mutual friend wheeled a '74 750 out and started it up. Sounded like the worlds most sophisticated gravel crusher until it fired up what with all those straight cut cam drive gears. Those open exhausts pinnning my trousers back, tingles up my spine - never forgotton.

    The guy also had an IOM TT Honda 250 four and 31 Honda 50's.
