This PIC deserves a place in the yearly Laverda Calander.

I"ll put it when time comes if Jo carries on I hope.

Moody weather today, but wonderfully wind free.

For a non-colour, silver certainly works on the bike.
They really are a good looking machine, the designer certainly knew his job.

I've never been a big fan, but the more I see the more I like. The front guard is a great shape, love the look of them.

The temperature is still ok heading towards November. A derelict petrol station in the process of being demolished. Must have been half a dozen pumps in various states of disrepair, even spotted some old shelves with castrol cans on them.

We may have made the last major (cold) trip in 2020 today. The old lady (the bike!) runs great, 145 km/h max. on small roads = 

On the way to the grave of our LCO member Norbert, who unfortunately died on October 13th, 2020, we passed a wind farm.

After there were statements about it in the press a few days ago, we took a look around.
Lots of high voltage and lots of birds, but not a single dead bird under the windmills.
I think airplane engines, cars, window panes, antenna masts and cats kill many birds, but wind turbines apparently not so often.

And insecticides
And for cutting hedges to overproduce subsidised farm produce
And air pollution from coal burning power stations
Und so weiter, uns so weiter....

Nice bike.

Nice bike.

Usually on long journeys she is packed plus two people more like a mule.

The SF2 is absolutely reliable, only changes: DMC ignition, a Gold-Wing air filter, Steel-brake-hoses and rear brake pads from the old drum-brake Porsche.

For tens of thousands of kilometers only changing oil and tires and synchronizing the carburetor once a year.

After a few spoke heads on the rear wheel had been torn off recently, I replaced all the spokes with a new set from 1975 as a precaution.
If you have a centering stand and two dial gauges you can do that but it is easier to have it done by a specialist for little money.

Sounds very much like mine Thomas. Very reliable and low maintenance.
And my wife rides her own bikes, so no luggage problems though she did many 1000s of km behind me before.

Good camera or good photographer!

Great shots - and love seeing SFs out doing what they do so bloody well! Brilliant bikes.

Some calendar shots for 2021 there!

Thomas, were the Porsche rear brake shoes an improvement of just an available off the shelf replacement?

We"re getting all too wordy on this thread peeps.
