One of the best lunches I had visiting Maurizio during the 75th anniversary visit to Breganze. Great spot, if you haven't been to visit the restaurant get yourself there.

Bit late now, Maurizio has sold off, closed end of November '24(?). Don't know if there will be a sucessor, would be a crying shame if not. Had lunch there after the 2024 meet with Wilfried (Luigi).

Been visiting Valle san Liberale since 1995, was great to catch up once more with Maurizio and his tasmanian chef John. I've experienced some truely epic events and overnight stays there!

Il primo è Stefano Bossi, sua moglie è l'ultima in foto.
 
my first visit on a motorbike to Italy was 1993 I think on the weekend of my brother Robert's wedding (Thursday wedding, Friday we went to Munich to look at a Cico-styled Laverda in blue/white that was for sale, Saturday early in the morning we went down to Breganze (Robert on his 1000 3C with SFC fairing and seat, me on his wife's Yamaha XT600). Close to Breganze we got lost a bit looking for Maurizio's place until we found a guy well in his 50's on a Yamaha RD350 YPVS. He knew the place and guided us there. What a meeting...

As we did not book rooms, we returned back to Munich in the evening. Almost 900km riding in 18 hours with some talking and some food. We were young, little did we know... 😳

returned every year until I droped my bike (guess what - right, the blue white Cico...) on the Reschen-Pass in heavy rain in 1998 IIRC... No bike until 2000, which was the year I returned).
 
Nice shot Piet, but you just have to ride up the ramp and park on the roof, its just gotta be done.
I quite liked walking through the kitchen and then up the stairs to the shop bit, very tucked away for invitees only?? I was never quite sure.

remember well when two dutch 750 riders parked their bike up there. Both bikes looked quite rotted and so my brother walked over to the one owner, who was kneeling on the left side of the bike, fiddeling something on it. Brother said: "Nice donor bike you have bought yourself there..." the dutch guy looked up, fortunately not having understood my brother. "What?" he said, when all of a sudden we realized that he was actually routing a brand new clutch cable down to the clutch cover. Brother changed his approach, recognizing the dutch accent: "Seems you had a long trip down here, any issues with the bike?" - "No issues, runs sweet and got better with every kilometer! Listen!" He turned the key, pressed the starter and the bike instantly started running in a smooth idle, picked up revs nicely and did not shake really to much. "Nicely maintained bike obviously, runs sweet!" Brother said. "Yeah - you know, regular oil exchanges are key. No matter what, I change the oil every 2.500 - 3.000km." He then pointed on the bike to the left which belonged to a friend of him that joined him on the tour: "He gets my oil and I get his!"

We all ha d a good laugh and always a smile when we saw each other over the weekend. ;-)

"You meet the nicest people on a Laverda". True. Mostly, at least. :D
