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

[general_piffle]

Hi my Lav is 1980 but haven’t used it last year because when I put my reg number in it says I have to pay. It’s registered as historic

I have this with my '71 750 SF, the system being as idiotic as it is, you have to 'pretend to pay £0.00' by following the process and then, hey presto! You haven't paid, you're registered as having not paid, and because you don't have to pay, the system is happy and complete. It's British bureaucratic BS at its finest.

Norway has been in the EU since 1994 Clem.

Norwegians voted against EU membership in 1994, the other scandinavian countries are EU members.

I got that badly wrong, I didn't read until the end.
Norway is part of the European free exchange zone and the European economic zone.
Mea culpa.

[Alzero]

Norway is also a Schengen state.

 

[Tippie]

Norway is a signatory to lots of EU conventions (or whatever they are called) including the road and traffic one, hence roads with an E prefix (E6, E18 etc), as well as the "EU kontroll" (MOT type roadworthy) they wanted to force on mc owners. There is a lot of argument that Norway enjoys the benefits and also suffers the consequences of these pacts, but has little say in the organisation it is dealing with and should just join. Yes Clem, Finnmark in the far north is like the remote extremities of most countries and see themselves as somewhat independent.

I have farming friends in Norway who refer to EU as “ ruling us by fax” - I’m always surprised how quickly Norway enforces change, it’s like overnight , EV s spring to mind.My friends family farm was compulsory purchased by government to build a health centre- they just accepted it - but like Sweden, Switzerland they have their own currency .
Funny place, I was last there and Signes elderly Dad bought me round a Tempo moped to ride as I was their guest- off I popped riding around Stavanger all afternoon. Next day at a party, the Norgs were all coming up to me knowing full well who I was? How do you know I’m from England? “ Oh, you ride on the wrong side of the road!”

No few people. including whole families, have been killed due to that.

I'll apologise Clem but I won't be going to any of those meetings.

The Tempo was a Norwegian moped with a Villiers engine- just down the road was the Tempo museum and I was the first Brit to visit! Rural Bjerkreim is like Exmoor- no one about little farm lanes so a little moped is ideal.

Nice collection. For our monthly meet Plenty of Zane’s

I’m looking for my former race bike. I sold it in about 1980 to a fellow associated to Terminal Van Lines in Florida. Ton of fun. I bought it well used from Ham’s in Norwalk, CT. I’m new to the forum. Not sure if I’m doing this right. Thanks.

 

[Andy J]

Yes, you’re doing it right, but a bit more info about the bike may help find it after all these years.

‘74 750 SFC bored to 860, slicks, total loss ignition, damaged but rideable. Raced in New England at AAMRR club events.

 

[007]

I actually had two ‘74 SFC’s at the same time, one built for track, one stock for Street.

 

[Tippie]

If you have a record of the engine/frame number it might be on the SFC registry.

 

[MarnixSFC]

Nice pics, was clearly used in anger!
Now and then racing photos of the Ham’s SFC surface on the internet, but so far I haven’t been able to connect a frame number to it..

Any additional info on the SFCs could help to determine their numbers/history. Also your full name (unless it’s James Bond) would help, as I often have names of previous owners in the SFC Registry database.
