New member in the Seattle ghetto

Just bought an 2007 1100 with 3500 miles from Moto International here in Seattle. I've been ruing the day I sold my V11 sport... nice to be in the fold again.

Thanks, I decided I wanted to find a GRiSO 1100, checked craigslists and that lead me to MI. I bought my V11 sport there under similar circumstances... consignment seller who left the state. I haven't had much time with the GRiSO but so far it's the torquey do all bike I was looking for. It came with a QD slip on and it sounds like a mad bear...

G'day ?
Welcome to the Ghetto from us all down under in Tasmania.
Your bike is the same as mine, boy I love the red one's, they are so fast .....
Mine now has some 63k on the clock and is still pulling like a train.
Enjoy and please stay safe.

Thanks... 63K! Good to hear, I'm hoping me and the bike still have many miles left in us.

Thanks all.
10 years ago when I bought my V11 sport I had my wife sew a Moto Guzzi patch over the Triumph logo that was on this jacket... after selling the sport it served as inspiration.
