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

[Shajota]

I'm sure many will remember (at least many Aussies & probably some others) the holiday atmosphere of the additional drive necessary years ago to Shute Harbour to catch a ferry to one of the Whitsunday Islands or perhaps the reef. In recent times Ferry services have relocated closer in and operate from Abell Point & Port of Airlie with Shute falling into disrepair. Charter businesses and the Barge still operated from there but in 2017 Cyclone Debbie rampaged through and destroyed most of what was left which all had to be demolished. Council approved a redevelopment plan and the new Shute Harbour (after obligatory massive cost over runs) with new piers and terminal is now operational. (AE included in pics to add relevance)
(Apologies for all the "bull" - hope some find this of interest.....)

A little more overcast and damp than is ideal, but my first chance to get out on it since last year.
Only got 4,000 miles/6,500 kms. in, in '21, must try harder.

You need another Laverda to motivate you.

I did the "the one who dies with the most toys wins" thing, back in the '80s, Paul:
My Triple, a Chott, Willibald Porsche 912, Alfa Romeo Alfetta and a Mooney M20F formed the modes of transport category.
It was mid afternoon, on a good day, when I'd decided which one to play with, so I pruned back the collection and had more fun.
Each to his own, I guess.

I see your "European Mount" moose(?) antlers on your shed. I had to take mine down this year as the squirrels were eating away at the antlers. You don't have this problem? Or no squirrels? How can I stop them?

 

[Laverda78]

Hello wayne, yes we have these squirrels even here but I havent heard about that problem. Hard to now what to do about it.
Have a good 2022

Getting rid of that Porsche thingy was a good move.

Managed to get this finished in time for Boxing Day run to the pied bull farning

 

[Dellortoman]

My dyslexic brain read that as pied bull farming. Had me wondering why anyone would want to farm pied bulls.

I completely missed it, just saw the nice blue Jota. Usually, an RGA colour, unless its Chriss blue RGS, nice colour

 

[Corn]

Great colour in combination with those golden comstars. Quite unique

[Vince]

I forget what these riveted wheels are called but do they usually come with dual spokes like that.

 

[breganzane]

Deffo comstars.

(from a fellow comstar owner. Actually... two bikes with comstars, one even has the Honda ones)

Astrolights is what I was thinking, but we all know how my thinking tends to go.
