Thanks Andy G.
UHT 601T, Andy's old bike was dressed for the occasion, in tribute to PK, like the bike he raced at the TT in 1979.

Another Donnington weekend video posted on Youtube. This one's a walkabout with commentary looking at the various bikes attending.
Andy Jessop warming the 500 at 11min 5sec in & the parade lap line up Laverda's appear at 13min 2sec.

Orange tents stand out, quite a few Laverdas featured but not mentioned. Before the Author's time, I bet.

This caught Cliff Boddy's eye at CRMC Donington, last weekend. Not part of the Laverda display but might be quite an amusing bike to ride. Suzuki T500 engine shoehorned into a Zane chassis!
A Suzerda?

 

[Andy J]

I suppose an alternative option to the SV 650 engine that was going to power the Laverda Lynx.
