LAVERDA 100 Sport Lusso

[lavgert]

Hi, It took a long time again, but yesterday was the big day: I went to the "guitar", my pub around the corner, with my LAVERDA 100 Sport Lusso. With the Italian number plate, against the one-way, over the sidewalk and without a helmet, but I arrived with a big grin! And even drove back - after three bottles of Hirter beer. I got it for my 50th birthday and it was finished shortly before my 62th. It starts nicely, the engine runs clean and the sound is just great! I still have to improve the front brake and the light / horn switch ... Many, many thanks to Jo, Piet, Wilfried, Wil, Peter, Andreas and Maria for the great support! I'm so happy about it!
Ciao, Gert

We used to go to a bike show where one of the blokes would turn up with a fairly big Pantecnican, an enclosed truck with maybe 30 tiny Italian Sportsbikes. Lots I had never heard of. They looked like heaps of fun for trips down to the shops on. What a stunner you have there.

What an awesome looking little sportster, Gert! A credit to you. Beautiful.

Hi, the challenge of the restauration of this little princess was the tuned and completely fucked up engine (Thanks Piet and Wilfried!). And it was my first patina restauration - very interesting to find out how to keep and preserve the wonderful patina of this bike. Ciao, Gert

Patina??!! It's sparkling, Gert!!

 

[lavgert]

… no, it is not sparkling! I will take some detailed shots to show you the very nice patina! Ciao, Gert

Not a criticism, Gert - just impressed at how nicely you've managed to get it looking for a used moto of that vintage.

No Chris, if you hang her on the wall she's dead. You have to drive your little Laverda as if you had stolen her. Ciao, Gert

Great looking wee bike Gert. Remember the photo of you sitting on it on top of the dining room table. The twin is something I would like to own when time allows. Would anyone know the code for this colour used on the wee bikes. Is it an ivory or cream colour.

Hi Alan, sorry, no 75 in ivory in my workshop - I would love to have one! But have a look here: https://www.iloc.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=2886.5460

Hi, today I made a nice battery cover for my 100 Sport Lusso, because I can't stand a white battery on a 63 years old bike.
Ciao, Gert
