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

[lavgert]

... working on my LAVERDA 75. Meanwhile it turned out to be a Tipo Normale not Sport. So I loose 1 HP - that's a pity, because having 4 or only 3 HP makes a big difference. But nevertheless a nice bike ...

First looking at those great photo's on the monitor, then outside to a frozen white window and white salty roads is quite a difference!

Sorry, now I realized my post should be in „What did you do to or for or with your Laverda today?“. Can any Admin help?
Ciao, Gert

Friday, went up Highway 74 out of Palm Desert, early morning, there was a bit of a delay, a film crew was shooting a TV commercial for Porsche, a great road for it.
Up through the Santa Rosa Mountains, then onto and into the Palomar Mountains, and up to the Observatory. The mountain loop of the east grade and south grade, 38.7 miles, is challenging to say the least, a brilliant rider's road. Great views, but you don't want to take your eyes off the road for a second.
On the way home, I stopped off and hiked a short trail to some natural hot springs and gave my old bones a good soak. A good day of riding around 200 miles round trip. I only saw one CHP vehicle the entire day, and no CBP officers at the Immigration checkpoint on Hwy 79, it was closed. To top the ride, I filled the gas tank with Hi Octane fuel at the Gas station on the Indian reservation, cheap, cheap, cheap, no California taxes. The 1200 is running great!
There are many YouTube posts of Motorcycles traversing Palomar, obeying the rules of the road, of course.

If those CBP Immigration officers found an Aussie riding an Italian motorcycle with a name they couldn't pronounce, lazing about in the hot springs you would be in Mexico by now.

Only idiots/fools who directly or indirectly attack Federal Immigration Law enforcement officers (ICE, CBP) get shot. It is sad, but it appears that people afflicted with TDS lose all common sense and mistakenly believe they are above the law.
