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

[Otto]

Today I was at a meeting of exotic bikes. Very rare bikes came along. Even Marnix with a Kawasaki 2 stroke, at least it is a triple.
My SFC1000 fits in.

Harvest has had a pretty good run so far.............

Short ride to get some air before the rain hit. Got some air, and some rain! 25 year old weatherproof jacket is rather porous these days.

A whole collection of Laverdas out on a 180 mile run up and down Wales - great fun counted them out and in

I officially became an OAP today so thought it prudent to take the Formula out to prove to the world i’m Not ready for the bath chair and slippers just yet. Would have completed a full lap if the DOI hadn’t been busy removing TT/MGP paraphernalia from the mountain section, and closed the road, so had to make do with the coast road for the final section of my ride. However, I wasn’t too fussed as I’d had a good blast over the mountain and back on Saturday.

As far as the Rear Sets go: Their mine ;o)

Fuck the tires - I burned them off off in one season.

One thing about the early Breganzie 750 is that they designed the Bike to do whatever you wanted to do with her - And I did ;o)
The 1st Motorcycle Manufacture ever to offer that Option.

I was escaping from a 69 Bonny, 71 Norton Commando and 750 BMW's andwanted a Ducati 750s ?

Jap Bikes with all their power had Scary handling at the time.

Seems an unlikely choice for most motorcyclists at the time but that Breganzie lasted me for over 46 years until I retired from riding and gave me an experience which I can hardly express as a Motorcyclists ;o)

Is it normal in Oz that you hump your bike and allow someone else to take photos?

I can perhaps understand why. Although it makes the bike wider I've always preferred the Spondon, and the swing arm pivoting in line with the gearbox sprocket, over the Harris frames et al. BTW, is the bike still in use?

Oye! I am the bloke with his arms folded.
Reckon the excited cockroach may have been Jaffle? Top bloke with a very well kept 1200.
And Rabbi needs no introduction.
It was good to be young.

No Bull...

Yes. One of Steve's mates Richard now owes it.

Thread 'Spondon Jota'

Feb 8, 2014

I just uploaded a photo gallery of the Spondon Jota (originally owned by Mark From Da Canefields) that I rebuilt a decade or more back.  Those of you enduring an endless soggy winter or hiding inside from the oppressive heat of summer may find some enjoyment in the perusal thereof.
