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

:D.  Unfortunately, sometimes 'Reality Strikes ...'

(Also if I bought your Atlas, I might want to keep it.  And I need another permanent bike in the collection like a hole in the head ...)
 
Watching a Laverda crank being done takes some near eye popping stomach muscles, especially the spacer plates for the pressing.
 
More like Alfa Romeo 245, as close as I can get it.
Just pops in the bright sun today.
 
took all 8 motorcycles out of the garage today, and began the massive job of a once a year garage cleaning and sorting, getting rid of accumulated detritus from the past year's projects, making space for whatever the next project is going to be, once I finish re assembling the CBX turbo for hopefully the final time. The turbo rebuild kit arrived today.

on that note, I am officially on the hunt for my next total rebuild project, preferably another triple, this time the earlier the better, but would also look at a Laverda twin.... anyone?

Had mine painted in AR 241 green which was the closest colour match to the original pea green. Sadly is not available in a base coat now so the latest iteration was the RAL 6029 which I do not particularly like. Painted Boba's carbon in "Yorkshire Electrical Board Green" which is a Ford colour and is the closest I have found to the AR 241 so far.

??? As a matter of English factories, I'm glad you didn't see "Youlthorpe Gas Line Yellow", or worse still "Aberford Air Line Blue" or, "Ramsgill Retort Red" before the "Goldsborough Electrical Board Green" ::)
