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

Was anyone here at Stanwell Park today on a red (I think) 3C, in company with a Mk I Le Mans? I rode past on the way to Thirroul but wasn't able to stop.
Cheers,
Barry
 
Turned out to be a better day than originally predicted, with it being mostly dry, reasonably sunny and quite warm with the rain holding off until the evening. Even then it hasn’t been of the biblical proportions that had been suggested as possible a few days ago.
Therefore, a nice detour was made through Maughold, on the way to the Moddey Dhoo bike show in Peel, and we unexpectedly met a young PHD researcher from south Oz scanning the Celtic crosses for evidence of the pigments used by the makers to illuminate the inscriptions.

Hi Russ,I see your bike is nice and shiney as always. Did you finally sort out that financial issue ? Nice to see that you’re getting about .

The annual Stamfordham Car Show, really good turn out, just a splash of rain.

Not many bikes, but the triple got alot of attention.

Had a nice run back along Hadrian's Wall on the way home, I may see if I can pull some footage from the cam.

No offence but are you using one of those free cameras they used to leave on the tables at weddings ?
This phone has been dropped several times and the lens sustained some damage, though I don't think that's the only reason.
It was very sunny, so some of the photos are likely overexposed, and converting them to the right format didn't help matters. I admit the quality isn't great.
I'll replace this device—which I view as a secondary camera—when the battery finally gives out.
I still have a few photos left from that day, and I'll try to do better next year.

Only pulling your leg, I am no David Bailey myself. Thanks for posting them, always interesting 👍

Feel free to tease me; it brings the forums to life and prevents that stifling, funereal conformity.I spent my working life in units made up entirely of testosterone-fueled men who hadn't exactly done any "deconstructing" of their masculinity—men who reeked of rank, musky sweat, just like a Kiwi or an Aussie.I was one of that breed myself, so I’m not easily offended after all these years.I love to laugh—even at myself.

Tu peux me taquiner cela donne vie aux forums et évite un conformisme d'enterrement
J'ai passé ma vie professionnelle en unité constituée uniquement avec des hommes pas déconstruits et hormonés qui sentaient le suint de boucs comme un néozélandais ou un australien
J’étais de cette espèce alors je ne suis pas susceptible âpres tant d années
J'aime rire même de moi

Hello Tom, one month to go for my retirement so I hope everything will be sorted by then. It's sure authorities are not so quick to give money back that you've paid in over the years 😆
 
That’s good to hear Russ, does that mean next year you’ll hang around in Breganze and drink beer with me for a few more days😂👍
