Same sense of freedom you get from a Laverda.

The whole month of May was spoiled by rain. For today the weather was announced to change to the positive. So, we planned a tour to the Sauerland. The term “sour land” is derived from the fact that the rain rate is quite high there (in other words, it's always wet). If it's not raining, like today for example, it's a very nice area though.
I'd hoped that the bloke on the right did show up with his semi classic "flying brick":
But he preferred to use this trip for running-in his new Speed Triple.
Cheers,
Jo

I'm inspired by Rod's slightly personalised 1200. Black frame works great with orange. I would think about blackening the rearsets and shortening the seat / shifting the tail forward. Pretty nice as is though!

I agreed, for me the overhang at the back reminds me of a Rickman.
I like it, out of the norm.

A little perambulation around the East Sussex and Kent coast, yesterday. It's been a long winter, so it was nice to get out on a warm day.

You went for a walk and saw the same red Laverda parked in many different places? Good fortune indeed!

Just a thought, why would you paint a lighthouse black? They are still used as visual fixing points during daylight.A little perambulation around the East Sussex and Kent coast, yesterday. It's been a long winter, so it was nice to get out on a warm day.
Nice photo and bike.

Paradoxically, it's been found that black actually does stand out against a horizon very well in daylight...

Thanks Maurice.
Actually, the Jota's just had a bit of open heart surgery. One of the outer crank webs was out of phase by a surprisingly large degree. Can't figure out why that should have been. The cases had never before been opened, all bearings seemed good, and rods and all measured clearances were fine. Perhaps one of the previous owners was too enthusiastic with a rattle gun, really can't tell. Anyway, I replaced the crank with a very good unit that I purchased from Cor Dees. Bike is running beautifully now, and very smooth.

I've now demolished almost 10k km with the beautiful iron pile, of which almost 3k km this year after the engine revision.
So obviously somehow good for me this machine ...
Cheers,
