Laverda 3C for sale in the northeast US

My bike.
Nothing wrong with the center stand; just have it on a piece of plywood to protect the floor. Yes, I'm offering the '75 wire wheel 3C (VIN# 2371) with choice of body work (fresh gold or older orange) and agree it's a bit confusing. The '76 is not for sale. As to the sofa photo, AJ, yes, very observant - had three but sold the red Jarama. I think a couple of the photos might show the 3CL with gold paint.
Based on the number of inquiries and what the Jarama sold for the price seems about right. Time will tell.
PS. Paul, neither a foreigner nor in bad taste, hopefully.

Not a foreigner eh? How do you figure that?

I guess nobody thinks of himself or herself as a foreigner, but everyone is a foreigner to someone.
You live in Vermont USA, so you're a foreigner to Paul, who's French. You're also a foreigner to me (Australian).
Come to think of it, I get the impression that Laverdas were never a big seller in USA, so this forum is one place where Americans are a minority group. Fewer than English, Australian or European members. That makes you a foreigner to most of us :)

We arrogant English speakers tend to think anyone who doesn't speak English is a foreigner. But there are more Chinese speakers in the world (including Mandarin and Cantonese variants) than all the English speakers in various countries grouped together. We are the foreigners. To a visiting alien, The predominant language of Earth is Chinese, with a few other minor languages scattered about.

Hi Ducky

Why gold?

Thank you

I like the mower lines in the grass. Are there GPS guided lawnmowers these days?

There actually are. This is just my zen - 10 acres, about 4 hours every 4-5 days. We run an art museum and sculpture park with a few bikes inside the galleries.

Taken this morning. I put this up on Facebook yesterday and so many people are saying to keep this and sell the '76 3CL. Are the only differences the wheels, drum brake, chrome chainguard, and tailpiece?

A few others as well-seat, turn signals-but yes, same engine & frame. Could have different spec cams/pistons fitted as they're 45+ year old machines! The wire wheel 3C models are considered more aesthetically appealing w/ early front drum/large headlight models fetching a premium.
