Club Laverda NSW Tour de Tasmania 2023

[Reunited Chris]

I've had a Sachse box die, luckily only 5 kays from home on a 200 km round trip ride. First the centre channel dropped out, turned around to ride home to exchange for the BM then about 1km from home the second channel dropped out. So had to get the trailer to recover. Now have a new spare stashed on the bike. Wouldn't go anywhere without a spare box now given the remoteness where I live.

No. 1 channel dropped out on mine, other 2 managed to keep the bike running on 2 cyl, enough to get bike to Hotel, doesn't inspire confidence in Sachse.
Chris K, going down to Vic any time soon?

Are you stuck somewhere? I don't have a Sachse box at home but might be able to rustle one up locally. What bike? Or retrieval?

Noddys 120 jota, tucked up safely in the pub at tatong, waiting a rescue mission.

Cracker of a day here in northern Tassie, bit windy, but lots of fun on the twisties. 3C back in one piece thanks to the bike shop in Ulverston.

Huge day today. The road past lake leake is just magnificent! The A5 from golden valley down to Hobart is one I hadn't been on before, also fantastic. Looking forward to catching up with Cam and the Tassie guys tomorrow.

I’m picking the bike up from the pub, where it is quietly resting.

Yep, I'm with Rob, I keep a spare Sasche box in the tail section and a trigger board beside the battery on the triple at all times (bike retrieval out bush generally not much fun) .
Hope that's the extent of the troubles (at least bike stopping) for the group.................

Don't think I want to invest any more in Sache, rather spend money on a reliable Ignetech.

Can't speak highly enough of the Tatong Tavern, no safe space to store bike outside so the Owner suggested I move bike into a motel room for safe keeping plus he then drove me into Benalla to catch the train back to Sydney. How's that for good old fashioned country hospitality.
Food is excellent too.
Ironically I have a work visit to Benalla soon, I'll certainly make a point of staying at the Tatong Tavern.

Heading to the west coast today, thanks to Paul and Kerry Dickson for the visit and the beautiful bbq lunch, always great to catch up.

Sounds like a good idea Chris. The Ignitech seems to be proving itself to be a very reliable unit.

What's happening with the SF, Marty? Starter clutch off, points being played with in the street ... (or is that ELECTRONIC IGNITION causing grief? Beautiful Duc Sport there. Love 'em.

 

[martymoose]

Grahames SF1 all fixed now, wouldn't be a Lav trip without a bit of roadside repairs.....

Cold wet and thirsty, but we all made it to Queenstown. Lavs have their own accommodation for the night

Big day in South west Tassie. Sleep well tonight

Is that Savage River Ferry back of Rease Dam? Didnt think you would do that 50ks of Pea Greavel Dirt again.

 

[martymoose]

They have done the road up from Reece dam to Corinna. Only about 3-4km of dirt now. It was very slippery in the wet. But well worth the trip. Seven sheds Inca dark ale for lunch. Makes you ride much faster........

 

[martymoose]

Nice break at cradle mountain. Heading back to the ferry tonight

 

[piranha-bro2]

Wouldn't be Tassie without a little wet weather riding! Nice to see some well-used Lavs out there.

 

[Vince]

I usually don't mind a little dirt action but that 50ks we did heading to Reece Dam after that ferry was about the sketches I have done in a while, lots of off-camber bends with this 10mm pea gravel were slide city but then you do the next black top bit. It was an absolutely brilliant bit of road after that horrible dirt bit.
