Yes, and it's the reason why I have resisted the temptation for the past 40+ years to own one.

How I remember those cheap shallow head fairing screws, flexing the creaking one piece fairing off, no room to get anything off, suspension so hard you need a wheelchair after…

I visited my friend Bernard—a fellow Laverda enthusiast—in Beaumont-de-Lomagne (Tarn-et-Garonne, 82).
We visited his brother, a dedicated Ducati and Honda rider; his other brother is also an experienced motorcyclist who rides various brands.
A family of motorcyclists.
The Honda is for sale.

I really like the layout of the workshop, windows over the benches, that workshop has a great feel.

Everything is old-school—nothing is sanitized; there’s life, memories, and good smells.
Far away from this shitty new modern world.

Hi Mastroianni, you should clean the lens of your camera - all your posted pix are a bit foggy! Ciao, Gert

That’s normal; my phone has been dropped several times, and unfortunately, the lens got damaged. I’ll replace it when the battery dies.
You could do a good deed—God sees you.

Bavaria is legally correct, but this is Northern Franconia - almost like calling the Scottish English
The sausages are grilled over burning wood instead of coal, in Coburg (another province annexed by Bavaria) they use smoldering pine cones. That mixes with the grease from the sausages and causes the delicious cancerous slime on them. Think "several missed oil changes".
Zwaa im Weggla (two in a bun) is our idea of a "foot-long".
See BBQ thread for my attempt

The season is going full on fall out here south west coast of Canada. Cold, foggy along the shores of the mighty river (Fraser) . The Sunday morning gathering 2026 is getting very close to done,,,,as this particular jurisdictions government has dropped Daylight Savings Time, and will not be flipping back an hour in a couple weeks, which means there will be a 9:05am sunrise.

Holy moly, it’s starting to get light here at 5:30am. 9.05am is bordering on morning tea time. I’ll talk to the gods, maybe we could do a light deal

Can’t remember where you’re located, but I’m assuming southern hemisphere. In our summer, longest day June 21, daylight started creeping in before 4:30am.Holy moly, it’s starting to get light here at 5:30am. 9.05am is bordering on morning tea time. I’ll talk to the gods, maybe we could do a light deal
The elimination of seasonal time change is a rather contentious topic these days, mainly the adoption of staying in daylight savings time versus standard time. A lot love the long summer evenings, but others dread that school kids will be walking to school in the dark. On the other hand, many scientists predict mental issues and say that staying on standard time is best for that potential problem.
I say let’s continue swapping seasonal time. It’s never been a problem. People complain that ‘losing’ and hours sleep during spring time moving the clock forward, yet have no problem starting their holiday adventures after a 3-12 hr time. Change getting off an airplane!

Well, Laverdas were out in force this past weekend for the very 1st annual Laverda Palomar Mountain ride. Attendance was awesome, as were the 3 bikes, quite possibly the largest gathering in sunny Southern California of running Laverdas (3) and their riders since the 2005 NALOC rally at Willow Springs.
The bikes created a lot of interest and comments from the Palomar(racer) crowd, most notable being, "We'll probably never see this many Laverdas together again, unless they're in a Museum". Did I mention there were three of us, Forum members 1200TS, who rode 90+ miles to get to Palomar; for me it was 70+, and Silvaire, well, Palomar Mountain is practically in his backyard, almost. A good ride it was! Sadly, no twins were in attendance.
