Thanks Paul, some great stuff there.
What did you do to or for or with your Laverda today?

My Little Red Dragon. A65 motor with 750cc barrels, Spitfire tuning and a lot of other details, a bit much for the A10 plunger frame but makes for a lot of fun.
Always have had soft spot for BSA A50/65s especially Firebirds and Thunderbolts.

I know a bloke who's building one of these Morgan look-alike cars. It's a kit from UK called "Triking". It has a fuel injected Guzzi 1100 engine, transmission and final drive. There's obviously been a lot of thought go into the design. It appears to be a high-quality kit with nice componentry. I did all the wiring for him a couple of years ago. Last time I saw it, he only needed to get it painted and do some final assembly of the body and upholstery. I think he said he'll be painting it Guzzi green. I'm keen for him to get it finished and registered because he said I can have a drive once it's on the road. But I think he has some other crap going on in his life at present because the project seems to have lost momentum for the time being.
The English build some tricycles using Citroen flat twin engines.

Paul....you really have me wondering what this device is....I can't even guess. Could you enlighten me? Btw...don't tell me its a set of ignition points!
If you mean the last photo Henry, it's a friction shock absorber.

If you mean the last photo Henry, correct it's a manual advance and retard modifier for the points ignition.

Sorry Red, your racer is not the only LAVERDA with 180 rear tyre. We have here in Austria two heavy modified triples with 180 rear tires since more than 15 years.
Ciao, Gert

Why does #88’s chain look like it’s outside the rear wheel sprocket?

Any info on how they got that tyre onto a triple frame? Musta been widened at the very least - then move motor to the right? My guesses.

That 88 Bike looks Horn !!
Yes, friction shock absorber. Same system used on period motorcycles before hydraulics.

Interesting rear suspension on the Falcone (?). I there some kind of spring forward of the lower arm, hidden behind the frame plate?
