I think it’s just a homage to Ray Peacock’s Corsa I rode in the TT in 1985, which he rode two up to the island so didn’t have a seat hump. I blagged one for the race off an orange RGA.

Well if I saw that race…… you could probably draw that conclusion…….. at a stretch

Bonsoir Paul,
you once mentioned that you always have a 2nd clutch cable laid parallel to the 1st one and, in case of break, you'd simply have to "change over". Guess this wasn't possible without tools?

As for the 3rd crack after 150,000 km, I'd check whether it is still under warranty ...

Yep. Too much confidence. Tools for the throttle cable but not the clutch cable.
I also discovered back home, that a second cable following the one in use is great, but after 10 or 15 years, it's useless because it becomes full of muck. So, as from now, a second cable, yes, but with the ends sealed.

Not this weekend. The VMCC IOM section recently cancelled a 'test' day at Jurby due to lack of entries and insurance issues. ARA contacted the VMCC and said they had received quite a few requests from guys with road bikes wanting a track day so they asked if VMCC would invite their members to participate. I obviously said yes to the invite. Rode the Should-Have-Been-A-Jota in the road bike sessions and the 500 in the novice & classic bike sessions. Took it fairly steady on the 500 as the brakes are a bit 'wooden' and was using the wheels and tyres off the 350, so a pretty skinny, 9 year old Avon Road Runner, 90/90 front and rear. I run CR Conti Road Attack 2, a 100/90 front and 130/80 on the rear, on the 'racing' 500, so quite a bit of difference in grip etc.
Evenso, still a good workout in advance of the Pre-TT Classic Races in a few week's time.

We’d a nice meeting of the German Laverda Forum with some interesting triples:

Jürgens (JKU) lovely 1200

I see the front of the engine is lifted, which is a good modification for racers.
