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

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
Very nice. I think that later seat unit works very well the earlier tank.
 
Thanks for the link to the pension, if we get to Germany we will stay there and talk bikes around the fire!
There is a nice Museum for old bikes, cars, trucks and other things roughly 60km away from the Hotel in Einbeck, called "PS-Speicher"


They claim to be the largest museum europe-wide dedicated to oldtimers (while they also show youngtimers...)

Not really a day tour, but while you are in northern Germany, you might also want to visit the Classic Superbike Museum that just opened recently:

 
Where's your 750 CK??, don't you rides bikes anymore
880 Rob.

If I’m not steering a truck, I’m asleep on the lounge, or cooking meals to have while I’m on the road.

For those overseas, we are limited to 100kph (90kph in 36mt, 83 tonne, road trains. At 0-90kph in 2.5klms on the flat, you curse the prick the slows you up. And a maximum drive/work time of 12 hours per day, six days maximum per week

Average Klms per week is 5,200, Plus loading/unloading time etc. 4,500 as a road train.

5,900klms over six days is my record.

One week off in the past twelve months.

So, no. Reckon the Mrs would have my balls if I came home and told her I was going for a ride, to clear my head.
