Out and About on your Laverda.No bull,Just photos

About to catch a container ship to where ever it was going 2 up with no particular destination/direction and no time limit. Turned out we ended up in Vancouver after a 28 day trip across the pacific. Scored the ride out of Glebe. Given 8 hours notice to departure.
Free ride for the 3 of us. Very cool trip
Yes, free (work) passage (1979) on a container ship was the way to go, not possible these days. Did the same out of Aukland NZ bound for Lima Peru, halfway across the Pacific the Captain tells us there was a change in the destination we were now going to La Guaria port for Caracas Venezuela? Close enough only 3 countries and 4400kms from Lima:eek::ROFLMAO:(y) had to push start the 3C when we finally arrived in VZ, the first of many times.

Such a cool story
 
Top italien beauties. Must be a Sympony when flying by together.
The guy with the Duke was my apprentice back in the early 80's. I already had my Jota he wanted an Italian bike and bought the Duke in '82. He went and lived in WA for many years, so we never got to ride together. A couple of years ago he retired to Qld about 200 k's from me. We'd been meaning to catch up and it finally happened last Tuesday. So after nearly 40 years we got to have a ride together on the old bangers, that duke is seriously fast and highly modified, just beautiful and sounds fantastic when he gives it the beans. He said it was great to ride with another bike that he could hear too! Together it was sweet music to our ears. :cool:
