V85 TT Merged Threadfest

[jas67]

Only if you're a moron and don't know the top and bottom lights in the traffic light mean different things.

What about:

[Muzz]

 

Green light?! I though orange meant go........

A T-shirt we brought back from Vietnam for our petrol head V8 owning grandson.

Vietnam Traffic Signals

Green light I go
Orange light I go
Red light I also go

AND, it's right!!!!

[Kev m]

What about:

The arrow should be a clue... Oh and observation of the other vehicles.

[kingoffleece]

"Observation of other vehicles?"  You give the morons WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY too much credit, kev!

Meh, they're right more than they're wrong....

[twowheeladdict]

What about:

What got me is the green turn arrow after the green light instead of before it.

That depends on the crossing traffic pattern.

[rocker59]

What about:

Red is always on the left on these horizontal lights.

There used to be a bunch of them in the city where I grew up.  Installed in the 1970s in "cool" bronze-colored 70s-modern posts/arms.  They were gone by the late 1980s because, apparently, color-blind people also don't know left from right.

For whatever reason, I'm getting some laughs out of WG tonight.
 
Maybe it's the Margarita with the fish tacos.. <shrug>

I'm intrigued by this and would like to subscribe to your newsletter...

Funny how this thread hasn't talked about the V85 in quite some time...

WG is, hands down, the most "drifty" forum I have ever frequented. *shrug* Is what it is.

LOL...i agreed...yet entertaining...

well, unless there are more spec and real bikes for us to sit on, there isn't much we can do except for speculating...

meanwhile, I am still going to wish for my wish list to come true 

[rdbandkab]

So what other scooters they using the engine in?   So far, I've only seen the dirt bike.   I've heard there are 3 other uses for the lump.

I skipped around the thread, so I might have missed something?

From recent interviews I believe I read that the road going variant may be displayed at this November's EICMA.

I found these videos on Facebook, some impromptu walk around of the V85 by some Italian with a back stage pass.

Sadly they didn't get to start it! I wanted to hear it run.

The lights look pretty slick on this bike.

Thanks Joe- lights are pretty cool....

The twin tail is really cool...

And maybe the dash isn't as retro as the V7, but I don't care, I really like it...

Hoping by Nov during ECIME, they will crank that puppy up...

I am too...at the same time the same predictiment with FXDR as well...

So many bikes, so little money and space...

So my 30th birthday is this Spring... when the V85 comes out.

Should I start a GoFundMe?

Or get a second (or third) job.

I'm actually starting a new job with better pay next week, and my wife is interviewing for higher paying jobs as well. :)

So if things stay *ok* for awhile, we may be able to swing it. We've talked about possibly getting a bike next year before, and the V85 is ticking a lot of the boxes of my ideal Guzzi that I've been painting for years now.

I'm really hoping for a test ride in Spring. :)

[Huzo]

Was talking to a dealer in Melbourne today.
I'm gunna' want a rest ride as well.
I'll buy it and then go for a long test ride after that...

[TimmyTheHog]

So shared in MG World on Facebook

Might as well, but don't expect anyone on this forum to contribute. 

There was a guy on a Japanese brand forum that started a GoFundMe to go on a motorcycle vacation and actually raised a grand for the trip.   

You could start a youtube channel and hope for a viral video.

It was all in jest. 

Hoping it will be available in that green color.

DO IT!


I get first dibs when you sell it!

I took it as that, just pointing out how frequently it is used and how willing people are to participate.  Look at how much money that couple "who are now in trouble" raised for that homeless man.
