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

Took POP for her first run of the year. Bright blue skies. Nice.
Went over the back roads to the chromer, around an hour away.
Parked next to the Chromer's tart's handbag of a jalopy.

Nothing but the motor, front end and rear wheel from this:

Zx7R almost ready to head off the the Barry Sheene Festival Of Speed at a sparrows fart tomorrow.
 
Took the mighty RGS out for its MOT inspection today.  Running very well, although the idle is a little low.  Goes like hell :o :D

Unusually there was another Laverda at the bike shop to be tested today, a green '76 3CL.  Sounded nice once it started- reckon it's running the standard ignition- that churning noise reminded me of my old bike before I fitted the IIS.  Anyone on here know this bike?  Centre stand badly in need of adjustment!

Finally got the carbon Jota finished. Just need to give it a clean and polish.
Passed it's ITV test (MOT/T?V) easily.
100.6dB at 3000rpm on their sound meter. Cox chromed steel silencers.
Interestingly a similar spec Jota but with stainless silencers made 95.5dB during the same ITV test.

Does everything I need and has an 8gb memory card for a decent selection of music.

Ha ha, I had to google 'Sony Ericsson W880i' - it's bloody older than my Nokia 6230i!!!!!
I had no idea.

I really will have to bite the bullet and go for a contract phone rather than pay as you go one day.
The only thing that puts me off is that all the people I know with the latest phones have lost the ability to communicate and have their facking nose buried in the screen all the pissing time.

You know I love non standard. Buts that's one of the nicest jotas I've seen. Top job Grant.

Not much standard on it.
Carbon fibre wherever possible:
Tank
Sidepanels
Front and rear mudguards
Tool tray
Tailpiece and inner
Tail light holder

Witt ignition and Dyna coils
 
I've done a few with Witt/Dyna combo and they all idle nicely.
Obviously the carbs need to be right, but I think the Witt helps too.

So you've stumbled upon another reclusive owner in the area Reggie. He must be pretty conspicuous having to carry a length of 4" x2" around with him to park up. That number plate would have been an original Glasgow registration so this one could have been in the area for quite some time. Nice bike those green 3CL's - hope we can see in on the road over the summer.
