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

As I said to you in Breganze Craig - you are living my dream down there :). Great photo chap.
(It ain't so bad here in Staffordshire, but the HS2 diggers are arriving - time to move away).
Keep those wheels a spinnin' Paul
 
Another picture from the 70th anniversary. I got to know a lot of forum members there personally, but I don't know who the British gentleman is who just arrived there with his 3c:

If all works according to plan I'll be in the Pyrenees in September. I pricked up my ears when you advised the BFN team and recommended spots like 'Gorges de Galamus'!

OK - more photos please ...

Covid permitting, will be riding the Pyrénées with my wife this summer. Hopefully on a Laverda as part of our yearly Tour de France.
Only did the Pyrénnées once, that was in 1977!

Noted.
The first time across the mountains I'd spent a sleepless night in Bayonne at the terasse of a café drinking coffee. I was sleeping it rough, no tent, no money and discovered that the Landes forest was infested with mosquitoes so moved on to Bayonne. As soon as the sun was up, I was off and crossed the Pyrénées from West to East to join some friends rebuilding a water mill in the hills above Carcassonne. A very memorable day with the sun and youth erasing fatigue.

That trip ended on the way back North some time later after two weeks in a Japanese artistic community in Central France when my CB 360 Honda did a big end around 8pm on a Sunday evening.
My first long trip, my first bike, my first engine strip.

That's a big girl that Hélène.
The water mill was in the Village of Greffeil. A couple of friends rebuilt it over the years and during the summer a lot of people would pass by, give a hand, or not, long hair, music, dope, smelly cheese sometimes with maggots, and a Honda.

The valleys around there became a naturel reserve for hippies.
