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

way to full, Gert, you should get rid of some of the bikes. Maybe the ones with less cylinders, like the 750 SFC?  :D

or those "modified" ones, like the Sulzbachers...

honestly: great to see a freshly renovated garage/workshop with such nice bikes. Hard thing is to keep it that clean and well sorted...  ;)

... no way, Lothar! I need some more like a nice 750SF and early 1000 3C. At the moment I am after a triple race bike/Motoplast frame with Austrian race history ...
Ciao, Gert

And keep out the Beemers, saves a lot of space that can be put to a far better use! :D

What's the gold tank on the triple frame? Looks Dunstall-ish.

Hi Chris, this glassfibre tank was mounted to Kawasaki Z900 endurance race bike in the 70s. I bought it at a local oldtimer market near Vienna. But it is for sale now ...
Ciao, Gert

Er....well last nite actually....we took it to our 3rd wednesday guzzi club meet...being as tis the only bike sporting a dual seat and which is taxed, in our garage....we needed a dual seat cos yours truly had tried a beer earlier.....
Took us back a few years cos when we left there was ice on the seat.....just like when we used to go to the Highwayman on thursday nites ( heavy rock nite).....jivin till 2 in the morning then comin out all hot and sweaty, to find everything frosted ready for the 25 mile ride home.....and us usually a bit tiddly too....!
Decent comfy rides these lavs.....
 
'Kate, don't know how you can do that I mean its getting a habit leaving the guzzi's in the shed and taking the big red lav to the guzzi meets. Was going to go but down south working.

Well, was doing valve clearances on drive in failing light on my BMWwhen a guy I know walks by with daughter...he says she interested in engines, as just started during lessons, so explained what doing, then 4 stroke engine working, then illustrated with spare Jota head barrels, piston, THEN fired up a live one..think both she and he enjoyed the practical after the theory! Ah, and btw, bought some coal at the w/e, and was in leathers as had just ridden XT through salty shit to a guy who will fit a 12v lighting coil, and the guy and I got talking bikes...he has loads OWO1 and stuff, and used to race Pete Davies on the Jota, riding. Cb900 in the Avon series in the 70s...brilliant! Asked him how Jota could beat a 4 cylinder 16 v bike...he said pd was fast! Jota seemed jointed in middle! Cheek...told him mine is sorted...Aren't bikes great, getting me into all sorts of conversations......and I have omitted that when I got the XT to the electrical guy at Rex speed shop, on a farm, guy comes over, would I like a cup of tea?! Had open face on and was frozen by the fog etc...he owns the farm, had 2 bikes in barn, rt1200 he puts a lot of miles on, and zzr1400 for playtime.posh wife working away clearing out the horses stables during our chat.collecting XT next week...Marcus promised to give it a clea...hope he did as covered in efficient road salt!
 
What did you do to or for or with your Laverda today?

... Nothing, nil, nada.  Have not had time to do any of the jobs that need doing...  Clean and seal the 1200's tank, fit new coils to SF2 and fit Tommaselli clip ons and headlight ears, change fork oil and do classic rego on a couple that have just run out.  The SF1 needs starter pulled off to see what is making the noise like a few bolts in a tin can and the front drum needs to be sorted.  Might just need to match shoes to the drum or could be worn brake cams.  Need to get some Me time and it's just not happening...  Doesn't help that the bikes are 15-20 minutes away at my lockup - have no garage at home to escape to of an evening.

More wiring today.
Deep joy.
Still, hope to have the 750 completed by the weekend.
