Re: What did you do to or for or with your Laverda today?

And this morning I took off on the Aussie drummer as she was too clean and had to get some bugs on the headlight.
The fun police had previously lowered the speed limit from 100 to 80 on the Great ocean Road now I found some sections the real fun parts are 60 f--ck me.
Lucky the Aussie drummer doesnt like going fast, not!!!!!

Nice one Maurice, I need to get out more on mine (any of them :o). Are you running Dunlops on your drummers? don't overdo the tyre pressures: I've found they work best around 28/30psi.

Are you running the original exhaust/collectors on yours? Peter E couldn't get mine to rev out beyond 160.. ???

I might see you there Pat.
Andy both bikes have K81s the front tyres are horrible and tend to feel like they are tipping, As far as revving out goes no problem one bike has the tiny collector and original mufflers, the other big bore collector and open Jota mufflers both bikes pull very well and strangely I dont see any difference in the two!!
Your not revving out problem may be something else???

The taller (donut) TT100 GP series seem to work a lot better on the front than the smaller profile tyres (can't say I liked those at all) though I have found they need more work not less to get the bike to tip into the corners: otherwise very secure roadholding..

As for the (lack of) revving out.. I was hoping you weren't going to say that ::)
 
Been sqabbling with my girlfriend for three days because I bought a bike.

"We're not together if you do things on your own".
"You keep saying you're broke"
"It's the bikes or me".
You've already got 19 bikes". Totally untrue, only 15!

Don't know how I'm going to get out of this one.
Haven't told her yet that I'll be off 4 days. I need to go down to Florence to pick the machine up.

Well Paul, I saw only two Laverdas today, but loads of women.  Just sayin'...

The second Laverda I saw today was Keith's very nice 3C.  We met up at the Clachaig in Glen Coe for a spot of lunch, highly entertaining ride down and back up the Great Glen,  probably the last for the RGS this year.

Unfortunately they've done something very strange to the lounge bar interior.  Still a fine selection of ales in the Boot Bar though, so not all is lost.
 
Took the big orange on a 900km round trip from the Sunshine Coast to Theodore via Gayndah (home of the big orange).
Never missed a beat.

Drained the oil and emptied the float bowls.  Reckon that will do it for this year on the RGS- only 3000km, but it's been intense. :P
 
Mot done just in time for winter although if this weather holds might get one good run on it.
Went to Stafford what a great bloke Cor is so much enthusiasm and the V6 is even more beautiful in the flesh/metal than in pics.
Didn't like the hard sell on ILOC stand trying to get me to sign up.
