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

Cleaned POP and gave her a once over with an oily rag as she is off to the Scottish bike show this coming weekend.
 
Well, it was yesterday.
Rode the SF2 about 190 km on wet and muddy roads.
Much less confidence inspiring in the twisties than my modern Aprilia to say the least not to mention the lag from the front discs when wet.

A few times, had a miss first try going up gears. Must have a look before zooming down to Breganze this summer.

I know where the engine is, the same place as all the rest of my money! Problem being i moved house quite quickly and can't find the boxes with all the other ( expensive) grubins, carbs, oil cooler, switch gear etc. My only hope is that i put them in storage with my other garage stuff by mistake.

Yesterday had to make a quick trip for an appointment so good opportunity to take the bike. Unfortunately the weather still thought it was summer.
Stinking hot and oppressive all the way (35 - 36c & humid).
As usual the Lav never missed a beat.
You gotta love the myths out there though.
Bloke at one servo came out and raved over the Lav. Reckoned about 25 years ago he was sitting on the back of a mates Z1300 that had been hotted up and converted to chain doing about 220kph when an Orange Lav (just like mine) passed them like they were standing still! This was somewhere around Kalgoorlie - anyone on here??.
He then said he knew the Lavs could be doing over 200kph and just click down a gear and away..... :o He also loved the adjustable handlebars that could adjust 36 ways(?) - didn't believe me when I said it didn't really work like that!
Nothing wrong with a bit of mystique and legend hey.......................... :D
 
Good, things ill soon start to settle down after your move.
Takes time, I'm still finding stuff in boxes, and I moved in June last year!
 
I renewed the insurance for it - and I'm about to go and sling the bodywork & good silencers back on in time for this weekend's bike show.

Once the house sells I'll actually have enough cash to get the frigging thing sorted. Nice to discover that the unit across the yard has been taken by a powder coater
