Fitted two new tyres today - brilliant front lift tool borrowed from my MV buddy - allows you to lower the front to exactly the right height and pop the axle in View attachment 86768

But how do you get it on, and off, of those?
Roll front wheel into 'wheel vice' and clamp it so bike stays. Slide rear lift under tyre. Jack alternately. These are designed to go under frame. I welded tyre vice as seen on front one. So pretty stable. And goes up higher than needed. Nearly a metre.But how do you get it on, and off, of those?
The dog is not happy with the setup
Just wondering what the badge on the sidecover of the Le Mans says. It looks like a Mk II 850 but the (fuzzy) badge seems to say CX 100? What does this mean?
US market MKII. Importer didn't want to deal with clearing various regulations with the 850, since the 1000 engine (SP aka T3 & Spada) already cleared at considerable expense. So they had the factory ship with these. Gave it the cheesy CX100 tag. Lower compression, smaller valves and square slide Dellorto's. 348 copies produced. Make about the same power, just more linear. Lower compression actually a bonus with today's low grade fuel. Since I cant get a french blue MKII, I settled on this low mile that has 'badge engineering' working against it. I's fast!Just wondering what the badge on the sidecover of the Le Mans says. It looks like a Mk II 850 but the (fuzzy) badge seems to say CX 100? What does this mean?

You can tell when a dog is happy, they wag their tail.
Lola? Does she think she’s a showgirl?40th birthday for Lola today. For a present she got a new license label for $63 as a 'Classic Vehicle', instead of the usual 500 bucks.
That'll pay for a few tanks of gas
