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

[2622]

need to map existing cam lobe profiles so we can design the new R1 cams

Makes perfect sense to me...........takes the guess work out of play

The cave is now finished and open for business. It's all wired up now and the concrete ramp is dry enough to use, poured Tuesday.
The Atlas was the first bike to try it out, works great. Shallower angle and longer makes the bike glide easily up the ramp.
Let me know if anyone has any repair/refurb/restoration requirements, from shock rebuild to full bike restoration and all things in between.

Congratulations Grant

I hope you don't suffer from claustrophobia.

 

[Grant]

More than big enough. In fact it's bigger than what I worked out of before.

 

[Davo]

Cheap to heat. A fart every half hour or so should do it 

 

[Yogi]

Best of luck to you Grant - you build a very good machine..

Now I wonder how much he got paid to say the "mate" bit.  : 

 

[mauricejota7604]

G'day Alan in fact that was a mate of mine Peter McCaferty (good old Aussie name that one) visiting his country of origin, home sick are we Brett????????????
He sent me a txt message with a picture of you on your bike!
Great stuff and I love that fly screen on your 120 Jota Al.
The weather looks good up there!!!

 

[sonomalaverda]

Still very hot in Northern California. Went for a ride with mates and their assortment of mostly classic bikes to Point Reyes for the customary breakfast. No Laverdas though one of the the regular riders I have not met yet has a triple.

Triple Faranheit tomorrow.

Hi Maurice, the fly screen is a modified RGA fairing. Sorry i couldn't have a proper chat but i had already arranged to meet a farmer to get a pic of a rare Laverda combine, worth 4 points don't you know  . The farmer  Hugh and his neighbour hadn't a clue about the bike side of the company and the banter was great craic with them, phones out snapping pics of the bike  . Think I surprised Pete when I told him I had met you in Wales at Baskerville.

Better I open a bottle of Bushmills tonight then hmmmm lucky it wasnt Cork then I would have been well home sick 

 

[Davo]

Well you will have to pull the Cork out of the Black Bush
