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

[piranha-bro2]

Piranha-I really like what you've done- post a few more pics of it- what wheels, forks, swinger, etc?
I had to drop a letter, but close enough

Teddy, I sent you a long PM some time back with plenty of detail about my bike - did you get?

A meeting of the Heftrich Laverda regulars' table took place at the weekend. Not a huge event, but familiar and sincere.

Many thanks to the team for organising this!

AND there was a fire!

Sean, Pat & myself at the Driftwood catching the best of the weather. Must say, I’m not a triple man but Pats SFC sounds really sharp & looks pretty cool Good to see the guys - I had to do my compulsory ride out/ lap of the block as this is 10 yards from my house!

Spotted a couple of old dungers out for a run. Think the sign says it all

 

[Tippie]

The bikes look pristine, the sign is for the riders?

SF, sitting in hope of its 'Steve McQueen' moment and a trip to Switzerland ...

Blowin out the cobwebs on the orange Jota with the Triumphs today in Leicestershire/Rutland area making the most of the blue skies..

Quite a few of the young guys at work have bought Triumphs recently.

I was contemplating a Thruxton R for a long time

Quiet evening at The Huntsman.


It is a triple, after all, and shares switchgear with the other Triples,

Not so quiet when the 180s were fired up I bet!

My first bike was a Suzuki triple 2-stroke 550, the switchgear prepared me well for a life with Laverda triples. I loved my 550 triple, memorable rides accompanied by my best mates, one on a CB500, and the smart one on his SF750. p.s. the CB was indestructible, many tried, and all failed..

 

[motoddrob]

That smart one being me Dave, SF2. After that suzuki you had 2 Kawasaki Z1s before you saw the light and brought that 3c.
And the indestructible CB500 was also upgraded to a 3c which was destructed as you found out.
They were wild dazes.
Next month will be 50 years since I brought that SF2. The start of a life long Laverda obsession.

 

[piranha-bro2]

Will be 50 years for me too, Rob. As for that CB500, i assume we're talking about the late Mr Hobbs and the orange 3C. The wreck ended up in Bruce's shop - not a pretty sight! Suzuki got their triples right - Kwaka built thier 250 triple that was so bad you redlined it in a gear and shifted up to the next and it was off the powerband and almost going backwards!

That 550 had the crank going backwards compared to the Suzy GT750 and lower capacity GT triples.... trivia a mind here. j
