Moto Martin Laverda Triple Rebuild Issues.

Xavier
Where did you find that photo?
Assuming its not my bike it proves there may have been at least two on the planet.
As for the trailer..... why would you????
Not much room to carry gear granted but is that hitched on up near the tail light or am i seeing things???

Same wheels, could well be the same bike.
 
Good point Scrumpy, for some reason i had it fixed in my head that i had seen no other triple martins. Plenty there.
As for the slipstreaming Steve. Can  you imagine it. ha ha!!
I hope it wasnt my bike....
I better go and look at the other photos and check for a tow ball...
:o
 
There was some talk over the years about how many Spondon Framed Laverdas there was in OZ,most ended up being the same bike.Built by Mark in Queensland and now living with Richard in Camberra.I once saw a pic of my bike at Oran Park at the last Castrol 6hr,took a while to convince the pic owner it was the same bike parked outside the pub 15 years later.

Hi LB

A trailer behind a Laverda Martin, it would be like a caravan behind a Lamborghini or a Ferrari. Incongruous !  :o

But this irresponsible did it  :D

Anyway, it seems that it is your bike, according by my friend, very great motorcycle specialist Martin, who sent me the photo

That's brilliant Xavier. Amazing really. Is your friend a forum member? I guess not. I would love to make contact with him if he is interested.
Can you ask if he's interested and I can pm you an email address.

Hi

My buddy is not on this forum, but on the French forums concerning motorcycle endurance of 1970/80

You have two major sites that relate to "Martin"

This is nearly bilingual  http://www.motomartin.com/

and this one is exclusively French, but properly informs about the history of Martin Motorcycles http://pilleboue.free.fr/

The designer Georges Martin still exerts an activity related to the bike, even if it no longer manufactures frame http://www.martin-caferacer.com/index.php

If you whant help with French text, I can in my strange English   :)

Xavier
 
Thanks Xavier.
It's tips like these that make these forums invaluable.
Thanks a lot.
I can translate text with "Bing" but would be a slow process to try and post in French although my missus has basic French skills.
I'm familiar with the first site but not the second. I will give it a try today.
