Museum opening

I thought that engine had 120 degree phase, interesting if you look carefully the cylinders appear to be individual and equally spaced, I think the two complete prototypes are 120 degree as well were they at the Museo??

Hi Maurice,
I did some research for a series of articles I wrote for our club mag Il Motorone about the development of the 1000 triple. Thanks to cooperation of Giovanni Laverda we did some interesting discoveries.

Guess you are both right Chris, you're referring to the wrong abbreviation of DOHC, Cam is referring to the other SOHC cam triple prototype which was build up in the early phase:

Jo,
Even the SOHC was converted to 180 after having initially had a 120 crank. All the (belt driven) DOHC that followed were 180s.

Well I lost my two housemates today ☹️ Andy and Benny rode out for home via a few new mountain passes today so looks like I’m the last one ☹️Glyn and Di also left this morning to meander there way home via St Moritz and Stuttgart. Have to go shopping for a larger bag as the backpack is to small for all the goodies that I’ve hoovered up😂😂

Enjoy the days you are still in Italy Tom. Hope the upcoming holiday season (the whole of Italy is on holiday in August) doesn't interfere with your plans - I'm sure you'll make the best of it!

Well it appears as though I’m a lucky guy. Went to the museum this morning as I had heard there was a ru n to Bassano to visit a car museum. Met Georgio at the gate and then Werner turns up and asks if I want to ride one of his bikes rather than take the car. So having said yes I’m given a helmet and a lovely SF2 and away we go. Gee it’s like a GP the way these guys ride😂😂. Visited the museum , not bad as there were some interesting cars and a few nice bikes as well
Then away we go up into the hills above Bassano,switchback after switchback chasing all the other bikes that we picked up at the museum. Up and over the top of the range and more switchbacks till eventually we ended up at a special restaurant where we had a great meal and a couple of small beers the back chasing Werner and the crew down to Bassano where they lot me so I just bumbled along back to Breganze and the museum.
Absolutely top day and I cat thank Werner and his lovely wife Irina enough for the gracious hospitality that that they e shown this old bum from down under. I can only say that if your in this neck of the wood then visit the museum as they deserve all the support we can give them😊👏👏👏👏

That would be the museum in Romano d'Ezzelino I expect.

wouldn’t be surprised if that was Maurizio’s restaurant high up in the mountains at Valle San Liberale!

I can only second the comments, Werner and his team did an outstanding job! Some impressions around the event.

Maurizio’s restaurant high up in the mountains

can you still ride up the ramp and park on the roof, and does he still have his "accessory shop" where you have to walk through the kitchens and up the stairs to get in?
