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

[Charley]

Hi Charley, could to go there for a Round of the Ring. I have read that they closed the Ring for Bikes for tourists rides, the just want Cars ( to earn more money)

I didn’t try.
I’ve ridden the circuit before and it was spoilt for me at the time by the behaviour of some of the car drivers. There was also a group of car driving school students at the time, Porsches, if I remember correctly.
So, this time, with the weather not being kind and me being tired, plus the large number of ‘lads’ in cars with ‘popping’ exhausts, driving around, I didn’t bother enquiring.
Sorry I can’t be more helpful.

That’s a good idea - I always worry about riding the bike with practically no protection wear for this event

Fuksake.... I've done a couple, never got over 40kph... poor old Lola could hardly breathe...
The ride home was exiting, sort of a decoking exercise

Those SF are very fast, enough to rip off a faring at full tilt... wont happen if you slow down... j

I will be around your part of the Big Sky country, well, Coeur d'Alene, for the summer.. You probably have the only Laverda in Montana, nice looking triple.

Thanks Dave. My family has a cabin at Hayden Lake, very close to Coeur d'Alene. I'm planning on riding the Laverda over there sometime this summer. I'll let you know when I'm headed that way and maybe we can get together for a beer.

Nice to see that an SFC has been used in anger ... Better going down the road on its side than sitting in a collector's shed somewhere.

Paul M has just had a heart attack after seeing no points hiding behind the cover

I can relaibly inform you Chris K that Paul Marx's own SFC750 does not have points. I can supply him with a NOS primary cover and associated hardware for him to convert to points, but he doesnt do it!

Don't tell me the factory saw electronic ignition as an advancement??!! TBH, I'd prefer points on a twin to a 2-stage advance primitive elec system.

It makes sense I guess Clem
IIRC Paul owes a "resurrected" Elettronica right ?

Pit stop on the way to Ilfracombe, because my balls had gone completely numb…

 

[Sir Sidney Ruffdiamond]

These bikes are such good handlers when you need a mind lift
