Rather than be $1000 out of pocket, why not just go to Chicago anyway? I'm sure there are other things to see and do.
Rolling stones are just a bunch of old geriatrics anyway. It's a bit of a gamble that they'd still be alive in June  :D

I may still do that Cam, only problem is I was going with a mate for three weeks of music (New Orleans, Clarkesdale, Memphis, Nashville, Chicago, Austin)
He's decided not to go now since no Stones, so I'll be travelling on my own.

I resemble that comment.

You're quite right. I have no appreciation of art or music. As far as I'm concerned it's all a waste of time. I wouldn't bother crossing the road to go to a Rolling Stones concert if it was free  :D

If that was the case, you most probably wouldn't have any appreciation of a Laverda as well, as that is a physical representation of art and dance at it's best.
So we all know that was an April's comment ;)

Kind regards,

I was at a Dutch rally about 15 years ago and a Laverda rider with a bike looing  altered told me that his engine capacity was very close to 1400cc. I asked him how he had achieved this and he replied that it was "over bored and had shorter rods, of course" and that if I even had to ask that I did not know enough about that which I was talking of.

When he was not around I counted the cylinder fins??? what was I thinking of???? he had actually started to convince me, I shrugged, slapped myself in the face and carried on looking at loads of lovely bikes.

I didnt realise it was April 1st (retired guy who does not pay much attention to the calendar) so Jacques 150hp claim had me thinking what is he smoking...then I got more mixed up as I though this Cryo process would make Mick Jagger better so he could go on tour. 
 
Ha ha! Exactly! And then Pat won't miss out on his concert.
I am serious about the cryo treatment though. All the internals of my Esprit's new gearbox internals have been cryo treated. I think next Winter is the time to take the Laverda apart and do the same.
So, back to normal power output...

Kind regards,
Jacques

I have a ticket to see The Rolling Stones in Chicago in June.
They cancelled the tour on March 30. The ticket will be refunded, but I'll still be over $1000 out of pocket with flights and accommodation penalties.  :(
I wish it was an April Fools joke.

Hey there Rowdypat.  Rather new to this forum mate so all posts appear new to me  :).  Sounds like a fantastic trip but travelling on your own is a hard thing to do.  Its a brave person to visit a new country alone.  My wife and I planned to do a similar trip like this later this year, had it all planned out as she was in remission from breast cancer.  Her dream was to see New Orleans and Elvis Presleys mansion in Memphis.  Alas she passed away in December.  Cancelled the trip, lost a lot of money.  But cant imagine going to the places she wanted to see without her.  Have recently got myself a Laverda.  Long life wish.  Im a retired old bugger so looking forward to meeting new mates on this site and maybe going for a ride.  Can you claim the cancelled flights and accom on travel insurance?  Considering the reason you were going was cancelled?
 
Travel Insurance is a very good thing, did a Whistler ski trip a few years back. First run first day I snapped my right ACL on the Bunny Hill, managed to get a fair bit back on the Insurance. Where is Oz are you Laverdaboy.
