You weren’t associating with greasy ‘erks’ like these were you ? Photos taken at the now gone lay-by where I believe the Ryka’s area is now. If you remember what it was like when you first rode bikes and tales of teenage heroics and derring do including the many sad stories the book featured is fantastic. If you prefer a top box and a fluorescent tabard don’t bother.

Hi there, new arrival..proud owner of 750 sf..1971..orange..a little dream come true..last weekend we enjoyed a lil trip by Ireland s highest pub, the top of Coom.., today over Bealach, near Millstreet…loving that ol parallel twin vibe, and it looks so cool!..i imported it from Geoff brown in uk, rode to Pembroke, and ferry to rosslare..a cold trip..
Anyway, its an unusual sight around cork, and draws a few admiring comments..i loved the laverdas, guzzis and Ducati s from reading the road tests in bike and superbike magazines in the 80s, but owned mostly jap stuff for years..great fun, but ireally didn’t want to get on the zx9 again..and its a real old laugh to have something left of field..a few pics…advert when she was advertised…along with peugeot 205s and sierras…with its 2seat configuration, and as i bought it…with tractor lurking behind..it was an Italian import to uk in the 90s..cheers

Is he writing you a ticket for no ABS or for parking too close to an intersection…? 
(or for dazzling other road users with such a shiny machine

I was pulled over once by a copper in Perth simply to have a cxhat about the bike and racing - he saw the MCRCWA sticker on my fairing screen. Always nice to realise you're not about to be hassled!

Would that have been by any chance Constable Peter Watson, I remember he raced a Kwaka nine for Bruce back in the old days?

Have had our annual German Laverda Register meet on the last weekend. 19 bikes overall, 10 out of which were Laverdas. 3 youngsters with us (my son Lukas on a Ducati Monster 695 i.e. dark and his buddy Robin on his CBR650R as well as the Forum-Owner's son Lennard with a 600Monster), some friends (Carsten, BMW 1100 GS, Uli, Honda VFR750) and some Laverda-Owners who's bikes are currently not running properly on their other rides (Ducati Multistrada, Kawasaki, Triumph). Great Meeting on an old manor called "Externbrock"

aside of a dead Spark plug (which kept me from riding on the 2nd day) and a throttle cable, that slipped off it's seat on the carb side due to a M10 nut not being tightened correctly, there was just servicing involved (re-torqued my Jota's head in the evening) and no issues at all. Well - a drop of the CBR due to tarmac having been replaced by bitumen, which was extremely slippery in the wet on Friday. It did more hurt though to the drivers confidence than to the riders body or the bike. Nevertheless, an event that Robin and I (was driving behind him) could have lived without... Good thing though is that nothing serious happened, all riders had a lot of fun, gas-talks and nice ride-outs. roughly 1.000km that weekend - what a nice tour after COVID!
