Lads,

It's been said before, but it warrants mention what an invaluable resource this forum is. Without it, Laverdas everywhere would suffer and be fewer in ready-to-ride numbers. There is nothing on any model Laverda that has not been dissected and examined in detail here with the added advantage of decades of insight to improve things.

And, the frequent and generous submissions by hardened Laverda professionals is unparalleled in any other forum I know.

Now I'm of to pull the RGS's sprag clutch apart as a mizewell to check things while I wait for my cams to be resurfaced, thanks to coming across a thread about maintaining sprag clutches.

Best,

Invaluable! What I like best is I can own and run a 45 year old motorcycle with negligible risk because, with the help of the forum members,
a) there is not a problem that has not been encountered before and solved ( multiple ways, usually the right way)
b) not a part that can't be found, made or stolen, and,
c) more great modification ideas than I could ever use.

Best of all, a mutual appreciation of a truely classic (and classy) machine.
 
It's a sign of deep, deep passion for our old clunckers. It is hard for People like Red, Piet and other professionals not to give up I could imagine, as they have to cope with the same sh*t every day and with the same dump questions of owners over and over again. I would get bored I think at some point in time but I guess, there has always been something new just when they got bored... As Einstein put it once: "There are only two things that are without limit: the universe and the stupidity of men. I am not 100% sure though on the universe..."

Big, big thanks to Red for all his innovations, improvements, deep thoughts on solutions for problems most of us had just accepted to exist. The same big, big thanks to Piet for his endless patience with us dummies asking silly questions and not listening enough to his advice.

Thanks also to the dealers, that have partly invested heavily in parts, machines etc. to help us keep our machines on the road. We can't value this enough as the number of bikes is shrinking, the shop owners are aging and still they do what ever they can to keep supply up. thanks so much!!!
 
Couldn't agree more! Would never have learned how to keep my Lavs running without the forum. I knew next to nothing about my RGS or 750 before the forum, but thanks to the incredible store of knowledge here they stay on the road.
