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

Waiting for the umpteenth delay to races today to end, at Douglas Road corner, Kirk Michael. Worth the wait though, some fantastic racing despite less than ideal conditions.
Walking down the road is traveling marshal, Paul Corrin and an ace at making and fixing fiberglass bodywork.

Finally got the beast out on the true open road. Awesome 200km ride to Walkerville via Powelltown, Warragul on B and C roads. Plenty of places to really test it out, get some value out of the sides of those expensive tyres and disobey the speed limit. What a joy to ride fast this bike is!

The helmet pic is to show that I left a little later than I had wanted - kids were cooking me Fathers Day brunch (at 3pm! - they sleep in :) ). More worrying than bugs were the kangas, the wombats and the deer (yep, caught a Bambie in the headlights!).

The 200km ride home today was a little different! no fast backroad blasting, torrential rain, no wet weather jacket, peak hour into Melbourne post sunset (I preferred the wombats to the bloody drivers!). Bike didn't miss a beat (except for the stutter transitioning off a very low throttle - I fitted filters to the gaping inlets and didn't have time to rejet and test). Pics; North Walkerville, Wilsons Promontory across the bay, nothing special - stopped to play with slow fuel jetting by a wind farm.
