Breaking News: The 1000k’s in a day on a LAVERDA club… has a new member

[chrisk]

I do about 1,100klm a day ….. thinking about riding Laverdas.

Okay, I’ll get my coat and quietly fuck off.

flew out of Port Morseby in PNG into Brisbane in 1982, my Jota was at my parents place in Brisbane and Maxene was in Cairns
Left Brisbane at 04:00 in the morning with 9 points on my license, rode 1800 klms +/- straight through to Cairns that day/night, arrived minus 3 points on my license as booked for speeding 4 times and threw my Jota away on the Sarina/Clearview stretch on roadworks
I was in love, needed to see her

Arrived in Cairns just before 10pm to find that Max was at the pub having a fat time so I went to bed as was totalled, she came home at 2am next morning to find me dead to the world

Wish I could do that now

I used to leave Bris at 0500, arrive Cairns 2100 on my 750. Kept speed down to 120 or so, never got a ticket and got too tired concentrating if riding much faster worrying about cops. The odd 160+ burst happened if some clown in a car overtook me but they usually turned off shortly after. 2 days Melb to Perth was harder even with two riders, Q and me.

My SF2 was well worn out by the time I sold it. I sold it to a mate in Marin County. where did you sell your 3c?
Wonder where they are now?

Probably somewhere in Oz
