Why do both pipes come out the front of that 'V-Twin'? Seems a bit narrow for a Guzzi engine. rolleyes.gif

That's a dangerous situation. I cringe when checking my Ebay account to see what I may have won after drinking the night before.

One morning ended up with a Super Tenere.

A friend of mine was eBaying Harley parts while drunk.

He was a little surprised when the prices were in € instead of $.

Not quite the bargain he originally thought.

Guess what just checked Ebay and.......

For some reason somebody has hacked into my account and bought a TDM service manual on cd for £4:99 ranting.gif

Why the hell would someone do that ranting.gif Wiffy's not too happy either blush.gif

At least I didn't bid on the Dodge Charger and the V twin Trx unsure.gif
