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

Looks like the hose from the tap is a little too short, Adam.
Why didn't you use the hose clip which had slipped down the hose?

Took the Jota out yesterday - went up
To the piston club which is a newly renovated pub near Stratford that caters for bikers nicely - my leg started to feel wet on the way over so I looked down and the fuel pipe had popped off soaking my leg in sweet smelling expensive petrol - fortunately I had a cable tie under the seat which temporarily held it !

Where abouts in Stratford is this pub Sir Sid, is it on the Alcester Rd?.

Thanks Sock, last time i went passed the pub it was closed down, nice location on top of a hill away from the built up area of Stratford,next time we are down that way we will have to pop in for a cool one.

The clip was originally at the top and was fine with the new soft pipe - it just didn’t have enough tension with the pipe that had hardened a bit , the cable tie got me home with no more wetting have put a longer piece on and found a tighter clip

Piston club looks good - plenty of facilities geared to bikers - we also have Caffeine and machine locally which caters for cars more - you have to pay to park at weekends on a bike but I believe you get a drink as part of the price

Glad you got the bike sorted SirSid...i know Caffiene charged for bike parking in the past but i had heard that they dropped it now for motorcycles, you are right though car orientated.

Looks like you are a little short on length there Sir Sid. nothing personal said matron

I’ve had this and the pipe end had “trumpeted” and gone soggy…surprising how long it takes to notice!

That plumbing looks all wrong. There should be a double spigot connector on the carb, where is the fuel line coming off the fuel tap going to?

Looks like Adam is using an RGS type fuel rail, not such a bad thing

[The Sock]

I've had one on mine for forty years.

I've got the original lines on my SF2. 1973 vintage.
No splits, no undue hardening.
And those little French jubilee clips.

As per Tom an RGS fuel rail - much easier to replace pipes

Out and about on something else at the European Bike show in the Adelaide hills. Spotted these and a RGA.
I'm sure someone will recognize these bikes.
