I'm soon to return to the West Palm Beach, Florida area after a number of overseas postings,and I want to get my '78 Jota back on the road.  It's been laid up for 9 years but it was running fine before I brought it over from the UK and I know it needs a battery and a look over before I get it registered and back on the road.  Does anyone know of a capable somebody within a reasonable trailing distance who could help me get it burbling again?  Thanks.
 
Ken on here is in Florida, he may be able to point you in the right direction.
 
Anyone actually in business as a bike repairer and with decent Laverda experience pretty thin on the ground in the US of A.
Scott Potter is in Texas, just a quality road trip away....  :)

Yes he has and is in the process of getting his stuff moved. His shop looks ready to go so he should be up and running again soon.

You could ask Personal Cycle Service (PCS) in Daytona Beach Florida if they are experienced in servicing Laverdas. They use to service older Italian bikes, and as I recall including Laverdas. This was years ago, not sure it they still have any Laverda experience. Depending on their experience and what you need done, they may be able to do it. Worth a call anyway.
 
Henry, I called PCS a few years ago, nobody there at the time had even heard of Laverda. But a phone call is quick and easy, Daytona's not that big a place and who knows who'll come looking for work at any given time?

They are pretty simple bikes to work on, so with help from the nutters on here - why not have a go yourself?

You will get a bigger sense of satisfaction and retain a fatter wallet into the bargain - win/win.
 
There is a company in Louisiana that advertises they work on Laverda?s. I know nothing about them. I?ve just seen their advertisement.  Not sure I?d trust them since nobody seems to know who they are.

He is just outside Espanola.  I told him his Lotus will look really classy in the local lowriders parade next to all that Detroit iron. 8)
