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

Here is another one. We used to ride around the Wadigans area north of Sydney, and it combined National Park and State Forests and had a confusing amount of major fire trails throughout it. We would park the Cars and trailers and head in; once I got separated and exited where I thought the cars were, I was 100ks wroung on the other side and struggled to find where I was, so I tried to get a map of the fire trails at topographic scale. That ended up as 5 huge maps, so I tried to get them scanned and printed as one map. Couldn't get that done anywhere. A couple of mates were planning a Tip of Cape York trip and tried to get topographic maps of that again. Approx. 30 maps arrived. Seems getting detailed maps of a suitable scale just isn't a thing you can do without felling a forest of trees for the paper first.
 
A spontaneous rescue mission to save an “ugly duckling” from the scrap heap.

She’s clearly had a colourful life riding on the big side — a 150/80-18 rear tyre, C/5 and SFC footrests. Everything is clean, not a speck of dirt, of course some dust, just rust and dents telling the story of her past.

Surprisingly, she still runs and stops!

So, off came the headlight and taillight. The indicators had already said goodbye years ago, victims of a little too much lean angle.

A quick service with fresh oil and a valve clearance check, and she’s ready to go.

Next stop: Assen, Spa-Francorchamps 2027!

Sure is a good looking example 😉
 
Unexpectedly good weather at the moment got me itching to get out on the RGS. Had a run out to a local café about 5 miles away - via the 50 mile scenic route! Itch duly satisfied and rewarded by a damn good cup of coffee and a heavenly piece of carrot cake. Life is good!

well, with my new sunglasses

They were a double pair of Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses, which had been specially designed to help people develop a relaxed attitude to ugly ducklings. At the first hint of trouble they turn totally black and thus prevent you from seeing anything that might alarm you
