75th Anniversary July 2024

[ozijotati]

Sadly a lot of our Laverda friends are leaving town today or have already left for home or further adventure ,meanwhile I’ll endeavour to fly the flag for us in Breganze as I don’t leave until the end of the month .
I’m just going to relax and poke about the place and see what happens

I’ll come down to the Piazza in an hour or so, also will check who still is on the Campo. We will start tomorrow.

What a fantastic event. My first Laverda anniversary in Breganze and it exceeded expectations. Met some great people, had some adventures, and made new friends.

Andy L and I are en route back to Blighty. Safe travels and hope to see you all again soon!

Indeed, what a weekend! It was a really great pleasure meeting all of you. I can’t wait for the next event. Hope to see you soon! Grazie mille!

PS who’s the strange young guy?

A very enjoyable ride to Maurizios Motoristorante, then up to the summit of Monte Grappa.

For those not familiar, about 45000 needless dead 1914-18. Each plaque is a known dead soldier, the larger ones are 100 unknown soldiers. This is the view on the Italian side, Austro-Hungary side is equally „impressive „ Saddening…

I’m back at the Hotel Bar, in Sinsheim, (with an umlaut over the ‘a’), where I was last Monday.
The barman remembered my drinks Weiss Bier and Grappa. At least, I’m consistent.
I had hoped to get further, but the centre carb slide decided to retire halfway up an Austrian pass. It only took 40 minutes to replace, but a road block truck check and a bunch of Autobahn roadworks kicked the, hoped for, 600 miles into the long grass.
At least I maintained my rain free journey.
“The Force is strong with these waterproofs.
Only 447 miles today, but I ought to be able to make a home by tomorrow afternoon.

You pack spare slides?
How does a slide suddenly retire?

Hamish once explained to me that the suction in his intakes is so great that chunks of his slide get broken off and vanish in to his engine. Perhaps it happened again

 

[The Sock]

You pack spare slides? (Yes, I am ‘old school’)

I imagine you pack a points file and a fire extinguisher.
How does a slide suddenly retire? ( My Dell’s were smooth bored to 36 mm. Unfortunately that doesn’t leave much support for the slides, so the pulsing, tends to result in cracks on the front edge of the slides. A timely reminder to get a set of modern carbs on it)

Hi Harmish, you passed us- we were in a van-at the German border after the tunnel, have a safe ride tomorrow.
I had to go back with Volki in his van, my RGS became incontinent- just made the last 200 k on the bike from Würzburg to Kassel without any issue.

All good here so far, coming up though Dolomites and over Grossglockner today. Got as far as Koenigssee.

I boiled the back brake on Jane's bike on the way down the Grossglockner (northwards) Restored to about 50% when cooled. Attention needed when I get home - don't tell her

Beautiful open bends coming down, just right.

I enjoyed riding 'down' into cloud.


Good luck all.

Here's my long distance kit Hamish.
Plus some fuses, cable and screw on nipples.
There's always a second clutch cable zip tied to the one in use.

Wow great shot!

 

[Andy J]

Perhaps should have been expected but got pulled again traveling through Germany by, on this occasion, customs that didn't recognise a Manx rego. At least they were a bit quicker and friendlier than the last time I was stopped.

When I was there last time they have put signes with the names of the mountains on their tops, did they remove them

 

[Andy]

Perhaps the signs don't show on an english-language photograph
