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

After spending a couple of days fitting a new headlight to the Motodd I thought Id fire up the SFC and take it around the block to give it a run.
Thought Id take a photo op with one of my big trees in the back yard as a back drop.
Its such a fantastic looking bike.
A piece of art

So clever ... let's cut it down. It's disturbing that there was zero recognition back then that such a tree was truly special. I know! Let's cut it down and measure how tall it used to be!
In Toulouse—the city close to my heart—there used to be a magnificent market hall. In the 1960s, they decided to tear it down to build a hideous concrete parking garage that also serves as a food market.
Today, that parking garage is a listed structure because it is considered representative of the architecture of that era and is hailed as a work of art.
It was surely down to the mediocrity of the mayor at the time, who failed to appreciate the craftsmanship embodied by that hall—especially given that other parking solutions were available.
Or perhaps it was simply a case of being too accustomed to such old buildings, leading people to lose sight of their beauty and construction quality.
Or else, it was corruption—something very prevalent in France, particularly in the construction and public works sector.
