P.S. Speicher museum.

[Charley]

On a recent visit to the P.S. Speicher museum I saw this on display.
I would have posted the video I took of the display but can't work out how to do that.
A good museum, but if you're hoping to see lots of Laverda then you will be disappointed.
It was definitely worth a visit.
The local Einbecker beer is worth a try too.

A rivet counters dream!
How many non-original parts can you spot?

I'll start with the front brake master cylinder and truly dreadful hose between it and the splitter.

Fuel taps
Rear light
Front brake calipers
Stainless brake lines.
Saddle
Plug caps of course

Was that the Speyer ? The one in Mannheim had 6 Laverdas plus the odd plane great place to visit

Silencers and indicators

That triple is a dogs breakfast... not really worth a 2nd glance.

The PS Speicher museum has its emphasis on the german bike industry on a whole, only a handful of non-german bikes on display. The museum is brilliantly presented, housed in an old granery. Well worth a visit!

1st pic is of inside(!) of the elevator from ground floor to the exhibits in the upper storeys.

Piero did a presentation a few years back in Einbeck, museum is worth a visit.
Technik Museum Sinsheim has a few Laverda on display, all in a real sorry condition.
Best museum IMHO is Marxzell, near Karlsruhe, on the border to the Black Forest.
Packrat heaven!!

Why the hell would one want a Laverda in a museum?

What? A mans front tail? Like a ladies front bottom? Maybe a circus for you then.

Centre exhaust header same radius as outer two, was the reduced radius on later engines, or always reduced for oem? Thought Lanfranconi came on early bikes? Sans oil cooler this one, ie early motor. May well be in the best place, ie not ridden, j

Only on the later ones. OSJ onwards, I think.

Tah Sockie, if i may be so forward... having had the 'handles funny under hard brake, to one day notice the ding marks on the centre header and chunk out of non original 'glass guard... never had the problem until i fitted Nissin 4 pots... then again i never ended up in a paddock either as with P/F brembo's.... j.

Like this one?

You're a better man than me or, at least, a more sensitive rider.
I've never felt it happening (OEM Brembo equipped). Hairpins, I guess.

Yes i wondered where my old centre header went to,.....the UK! Exactly same as, only with an Australian more curvy ding... you did well to stuff 40m/m headers into factory ribbed header clamps... 40?? Must have been rare... as for feeling the, of the moment slight stiff/notching under hard braking, could be deluding myself, am that sort of old bloke now... the nissin 4 pots.... braked so hard one time, the whole front end dive remained "dived" ie front suspension compressed and seized, thought i was on a step through, gravel drive way....did not dare get off it until my mate arrived on his Laverda, in case it popped back again. Amongst other issues, the DPO had assembled one rebound damp valve upside down in one leg and correct in the other... though the stuck in low rider was a combination, scary as we both waited for it to rocket back into normal position, ie could not put the centre stand down, not even close.... rambling again....j

Piccadilly Circus probably.
