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

This would have been the moment to invent the ortlieb bags

Hi Corn,
of course that would have been better. But back then we made do with plastic bags in which bran was delivered (I grew up on a farm). These were made of very thick plastic and were also quite good for keeping motorcycle luggage dry.

Yeah, but the battery wires? Crappy connectors, bad execution, a break-down waiting to happen. Keep the cellphone charged and the AA card up to date!

No cigar from me... even if it were the negative terminal.

Those feeble "do it yourself "crimpers"", flat strip blade that squashes the copper wire sideways, that you can pull the connector off with ease afterwards. Why buy full die circular crimp constant pressure ratchet crimping tool when you can save $30 with rubbish ones.... blobs of gutter seal ecetic acid liberating ( copper contamination ) silicone will make good 40 year old wire insulation in the blink of a watering eye from the bargain sealant. Cannot help myself....its the previous repairs that have witnessed at times....j

HeHe........ Was a cool ole rig 56 from memory, the fella driving it was an Elvis impersonator!

Made my day, along with the Ole fella i sat with at the bar. He came thru the front door demanding to know, whose Laverda was parked out front?
Waxed lyrical about his mate in Scotland (Engineer who worked on rigs) that had a huge collection of exotic race cars/bikes including one of Ago's championship winning MV's...........fair to say i wobbled back down the Mountain

ZZ Tops single cylinder Cali dropped into the shop to see if they can return it to a Gibbons and Hill (should be twins).

Next job for ZZ Top is his Laverda 500 twin to Red.

You’re doing well with the “No Bull” Hooksey

So I’m sorry to spoil it… but why have you got foam around the master cylinders?

Nice enough day to get out and about.

A couple of hundred km with frost on the road when we left.
The first ride in 6 weeks, weather either raining, mostly or snowing.

Good spot, Clem, but it's the non-original Left-hand dip lens. The black is to eliminate a little dazzle scatter from the LED H4.
Background is Manor Way, Beckenham, just round the corner.
