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

That Suzuki CCI oil was fantastic stuff, shame the same formula wasn't readily available everywhere. I think the new synthetic two stroke oils can run incredibly small amounts. We used to check for leaking crank/gearbox seals by filling the gearbox with that special smelling racing two stroke oil and test riding.
 
A little old 250 Hustler went past me at warp speed recently. The rider was down
hugging the tank, so was having a good old crack. The smoke trail was huge, the smell intoxicating, the sound howling…… I loved it!

My mates back in the Mach111 days used to tell me to ride down the back…. no class.
 
Here’s Dave’s immaculate GT with Lester alloy wheels, it really is like new. I didn’t know about the oil recycling system ( until I read it here) but it has got a strange cooling system where you don’t fill the coolant up to the cap- never seen that on a bike before.
We had one at my training college and I can remember only just being able to put it on the stand when I was sixteen.

Ahhh happy memories at Box Hill in the early 80s. Nice Matchless G15, always fancied one or a Mk2 Interceptor. Clint Eastwood had the Norton variant Ranger. There’s a pretty cool photo of him sat on it in London, which I have in my garage. I’d upload it from somewhere but still don’t have the requisite skills. Perhaps someone could oblige ? Not sure if I’ve mentioned it before but there was a regular at Box Hill with an orange Jota ( yes, know, they are all orange now ! ) whose girlfriend also turned up on a pink Suzuki GT 750.
