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

That's awesome! Were they the prisoners lined up?

 

[LJ-2]

maybe it was a perk of the job!!

Ironic that the prison's less than 15 miles from where I live (not that I've been there, either as visitor or resident) and I've never seen or heard of another RGS locally. S'funny, eh? :
But, hey, top marks to the man, riding his RGS at 72 (bikebend)

Was out last weekend for a 200 km round trip with a man who'se 84 riding a Puch enduro machine.
Let's hope we can do as much though I don't have a Puch enduro.

Bloody hell, only just got the dimensions right!! Now have to make a mock up. Hasn't taken me five years without some serious procrastinating   (and being poor hasn't helped)

Finally got around to fitting the new front end to the RGS, along with swapping the switch clusters and installing the heated grips I've had laying around for at least 3 years.  Mudguard is not entirely to my liking, but it will have to do for the time being.  Didn't see much chance of grafting the original to the M1Rs.

With a bit of luck, weather will be clearing up tomorrow, has been raining here for 2 days solid after a mini heatwave...

Sorted the leaking Mikuni carb.  After some prolonged indecision about ordering new needle jets, I remembered that I have two spare carburettors on the shelf, thanks to them being sold in banks of four.  Swapped some tiny bits that stopped the pissing of fuel, then set off to fill the tank.  I discovered the local source of "pure gas" was out of the mid-rated octane I typically use in the low com engine so the premium fuel was available at the price of the cheaper fuel today.  What an unexpected surprise. The Mirage ran wonderfully on the way home and I marveled at how saving a few pennies can brighten one's day.  Makes little sense, but there you go - a day in the life.

 

[drikko]

Sold it.... yup.

 

[drikko]

Yay

Having a few days vacation holiday, so managed to go for a ride the other evening on the 750 SF. It has been a while as have been sorting out one downpipe being very much hotter than the other - many thanks for all the direct and indirect help - everything seems to be running fine at the moment - It has given me a nice opportunity to become familiar with some of the systems on the bike.  Really hot in Northern California at the moment so no intention of riding during the day for fun. We also had a NASCAR weekend at our local Sears Point Infineon Sonoma Raceway just down the road so steered well clear of that . NASCAR is huge for those of you who don't live here or know that. Many spectators drive huge R/Vs to the event and " camp " in the fields opposite the track and fly the Stars and Stripes and other flags of their choice. It is quite an event.

I am selling my Moto Morini 500 Sei ( just posted on Craigslist ) so if you know anyone who might be interested, let them know. I am sure the proceeds will be redeployed into another Laverda project at some stage.

Yeah! That's better. Doesn't look like a tick now.

 

[Terry Dymond]

That's much betterer

Unfortunately I just admired my Laverdas as I put some things in my garage before going to work.

 

[LJ-2]
