Out and About on your Laverda.No bull,Just photos

[CLEMTOG]

very close to Bourg St Maurice I think Hag?, I spent many summers as a nipper in a tiny mountain village at the end of a no through mountain road/track, it was called Bonconseil, close to St Foie, I must go back soon, in the summer, never went there in winter, but once on a late autumn break, Sept/Oct probably, with my parents, we were woken by the local farmer as snow was dropping out of the heavens like white fivers and advised to get packed and leave! the snow might not thaw until March! we had a few days left of the two week break, but we did leg it, a bit scary, but fortunatly the hairpins were all virgin snow, it was about 7am.

You never know what you may find riding the Sonora Desert of Southern California.
The Tower of Enlightenment, at 'Slab City, near Niland.
Garden ornaments in Bombay Beach, sure beats garden Gnomes.
The Salton Sea, is 35 miles long, 15 wide, and 227 feet below sea level. It is also very polluted with agricultural runoff from both the US and Mexico

Some of those ornaments, installations, or whatever remind me of Daly Waters, NT in outback Australia.

Well this weekend it was all about the 500 so I rode her up to her full potential even kept some 1000cc Laverda's honest on the journey to Boggy Creek "Hey Dave"
Today she was just a commuter in fact a very noisy one I am sure my neighbours don't like this offensive baby Jota!!!!!!!

Yes Mo, I’m tipping you burnt your lips on my tail pipe……. Sure was a hoot, hunting through the tight stuff on the way to Boggy Crk, the baby Jota was in its element!

A customised Nuovo Falcone done with taste.
The BMW is lovely. I never thought I'd say that either.

Great looking bikes, but the green SF has stolen my heart! I love my RGS, but I would trade it in an instant for that 750, they all look great, but the green is amazing.

I love the patina of the blue BMW, is there a picture of the other side showing the sidecar? The K&N air filter shows that it’s a rider, not a garage queen.

I'll take a pic next time with the chair. No patina, paint is new.

I was thinking of the way the engine looked, like a runner.

Thought so.
All old bikes run, don't they?

Not all of them, lots sit in garages or museums and are simply looked at. Some of them are Italian too.

A bit like tarts in Amsterdam except that.....

Pretty good weather for February, but the ride to visit my demented mother wasn’t totally without issues (see Atlas question).
