Great to see Graham out on the immaculately build 750 ( Am sure that Red will be chuffed that he is riding it )
Oh no guesses which bike got the best twin award.. Red built it Graham brought it along and we voted.

So Ok again the drummer missed out on the best triple and a 120 won it this time.. oh well it was something ultra rare

Now who says a 120 doesn't sound great... you had to be there to appreciate it as it sounds way more impressive in real life I can attest. how cool is that bike............Thanks Scott and welcome to the Laverda world in triple  :o
 
Oh and there was a rumor that someone from Sydney Wooden Boats was present today but sadly by the time they got the message and made it out to the park that certain someone had left

So was that the reputed ex-factory SFC race triple that was bought in Oz 6 months ago? Other than the tucked up 3 into 1 it didn't look any different to a Std SFC. Did anyone get a pic of my buddy's old Jag?
 
Got a pic of the rarely sighted trophies Vince,  didnt see the Jag.
There aint nothin standard about that red bike Vince and that sound would convert even the most die hard 180 fan.
Sexual chocolate  :) :) :)

No it aint no SFC1000 its a genuine TTF1 one of 4 ever built that's it and its the real deal.
It came to Australia in late '83, was raced for the '84 season by Marin Hone, then did Bathurst in "85 finished 4th and has been sitting idle since then. its the sister of the Bonham sold bike from last year which was the Japanese bike.
This bike but unllke the Bonham bike is still original

Jag who cares about Jag's really.. oh sorry Mr T may have looked it over as he is a sick man ( owns a boat anchor and also a Ducrappy but we are trying to convince him to get rid of that too  :o)

Best thing to do with a Jag is to put a Chev in it.  :o :o :o or race it... that being race home and burn it.

Oh Vince if you look closely your clutch cable was sitting on the seat of the drummer waiting for you...  :LOL:



 
So did the confusion about the bike Max Eade still owned being THAT bike get settled? I remember seeing it near the front door in the shop for years. Were there 2 bikes?  I remember the Eades shop bike had a fairing with no headlight cutout. Interesting that the shocks have 2 separate springs on them. P1 cams? How was the idle, it did have a routy note. Did it get riden there, rego?

Vince this ain't the Eade bike trust me. Oh but guess what I know where the Eade bike is and contrary to a lot of speculation it is in some ways just as or even more unique that the TTF1. It has the very first TTF1 motor that the factory built so it could be argued that it could well be the 5th TTF1 that was rumored to exist.  :o

Oh and what I am writing is verified not speculation as someone has spent a great deal of time researching the providence of both bikes. If only you had been there then you could have gotten the facts oh and your cable  :o
 
Vince I hear ya and commend you for what you are doing for your uncle. But your timing sucks perhaps you could have brought him along then you could have your Jag mate
Anyways all will soon be in black and white so until then best not to hypothesise as a lot have done and only then shows what they actually don?t know
Talk is cheap facts are valued

I?m out of here till the next Club Laverda NSW event
Let?s get something happening with our ACT, Southern NSW, Victorian and Queensland  brothers 👍
 
I took a deep breath and deleted my post, if you think it's hot in Sydney you haven't been here and it's going to be like that for a long while yet. I would have loved to have been there today, I haven't seen Sams Jag either. Combining seeing that would have been fun. Seeing my Laverda at The Barry years ago convinced him to buy his 1982 900 SS Bevel off Bob Brown and finally fit the spoked wheels he bought for the first Bevel he owned 20 years before.
 
As a Italian bike and meet bloody brilliant, though I thought the VW meet was lame.  :D
Great too see all of youse.

Regards
Jason B

Very innarested to read the history, Brett. When will that be??!! I'm now wondering what happened to the TTF1 motor Frank Hodder bought in that Martin Hone used in the first (pared down, std RGS) race bike in the Thunderbikes(?) series? I can't even remember what year that would have been ... it was certainly when the RGS was VERY new on the scene.

Quentino that TT engine is in one of these specials the owner has two bikes!!!

The motor did a big end at Bathurst and Lee fitted the std RGS crank and it was raced like that. the rest was as per the TT - 36mm carbs, factory top end mods, pipe. Leeton, was the TT crank toast or rebuildable?
