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

Ride down Memory Lane, today!
Back in the '80s we used to do Goodwood Track Days once, sometimes twice a week, March to October. The rides down, from Motodd's in Croydon, were a set up for the day, on track, niggling, tucking up and the like.
After a day spent on track, some of the rides back were legendary! A dozen or more Laverdas at full chat, hammering up the A3.
We must have been blessed, because we never got a tug from the Old Bill. It must have sounded awesome, as we passed.
Found the route we used to take and rode it, today, for the first time in nearly forty years. Flashback, after flashback, until,...

Hi Mr Sock I love all these pictures you post on your 3C and you have had her from new, Keep them coming!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I cringe when I see helmets on the ground, we have so many sweat loving creepy crawly in oz and they love getting into helmets. Guess how I know. Lovely bikes though
 
We used to camp and trail ride at a spot of The Putty Rd with lots of Bull Ant nests, mega aggressive 25mm ants with extremely painful bites. They would actively chase you if you got close to them. Doesn't bear thinking about in a helmet, saw one of the Victorian blokes put his jacket on a log next to his parked bike on a Snowy ride. 15 minutes later he was pulling over slapping himself trying to kill the Spider that was biting him. All my stuff stays on me or the bike. Apparently they are attracted to sweat
 
And spiders like the smell of well worm socks too apparently - put on on of my woolly socks one day and felt something moving - pulled it off very quickly and out jumped a large shiny black spider - poor thing. It was too cramped in there to get a defensive bite in thank fuk!
