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

Very effective, that fourth shot, Quentin.
So NZ goes the opposite to almost everyone. The general practice is to exempt "very old" vehicles from testing, but NZ makes you do it twice a year, FFS. They must have a very strong mechanical service lobby to have got that through.

Correct. Although in fairness, as AJ alluded, if you find the right place you can get your warrant without any problems, except you have to humour a half-hour chat about “my mate had one of these, except his was orange…”
 
That Virus is circling me, just about everyone I know has had it in the last month, luckily I haven't been in close proximity to any of them, I had dinner with my sister's family 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after they came good, kinda handy as Brother in Law is a quack so he has the protocol down pat. I have a Flu shot booted next week and will ask the GP about No4 for The Pox then.
 
Brakes are over-rated, they only slow you down. Yes, I am that rego nut job. Scooter nazi at work. "But I only ride it to the shops, can't you pass it with bald tyres, notchy steering head bearings, no lights, no brakes?".

Still getting over the Rona, it's a proper bastard......

No nazism involved Marty. Some people have to be put straight. The reason the bike lobby has been able to so far avoid the bi-annual checks on bikes here is that the condition of the bike's safety equipment has been almost non-existent as a contributing facto to accidents resulting in serious injury or worse here. Any of us who have worked out the back at mc shops have horror stories to tell about the condition of some of the bikes people have been getting around on.
 
The best bit in that car mag WHEELS years ago was the Workshop Horror Stories collum. So funny but so scary at the same time.

Alans photo remembered me that I also wanted new struts for my 3c.
Went quicker as I thought, OCT had them in stock, already installed:

I've put the identical shocks on my 3CL just recently, will see how they cope during the upcoming trip to Breganze.

Commiserations to Quentin and Marty for having to suffer through Covid illness. I wish you both a quick and complete recovery.
I had my 4th Covid vax yesterday, as well as flu vax. My left arm is feeling a bit sore today.
I had to get both vaccinations in the left arm because my right is now deemed unsuitable for vaccinations since they yanked a few lymph nodes out of my right armpit while looking for metastasized cancer cells. Apparently intramuscular vaccinations are absorbed via the lymphatic system.
