Got the oil far too hot!
I am the 'egg man' at work when we have a fry up -  I know these things  :D
 
Yep, too hot.  Best way to fry 'em is to use a lot of oil and cook 'em slow flipping the oil over the top to cook the yolk.

Here's one Mrs 3CL did a while back:

Oh I say.....I like to provide large bacon, egg, mushroom and brown sauce baps for our mates when we go on a run....and sometimes I forget to pierce the yolks......always entertainin......!
 
Guesthouse.  We cooked and served around 40-50000 beakfasts over the last 22 years give or take.  Reckon she's just about got the hang of it. :D

Why not change that silly bit of wire with an inside C clip? It'd give you a bit more piece of mind.

Too much fucking about. Besides, these foks are 41mm and the spindle diameter on my small lathe is 1?" (38.1 mm).
Anyway, my mind is already at peace. There's not much at all going on in there these days.


PS: Black pudding ...  mmmm  :P
 
Brake overhaul. Original hose collars stamped 12/1979. The rear is even worse. No kidding! Piston extraction and caliper service this coming week. Never done this before but hopeful condition is better than hoses.

shared the luv with Miss J, as for the last few months, she's been tapping her toes watching me clear off with SeFFie & Clyde.

so, we took a casual cruise out to the Lakeside circuit to support Paul Bevelman & Ian LaverdaIan for The Barry shakedown.

the Goldie was being punted around very well.  sure showed up a few modern Jappo's through the turns and wasn't exactly left behind down the straight either. & the sound was one of the best bits of the day!  <edit> & i was told it's driving through a 6-speed box.  8)

Rode the 3C today, on the way home from the bike show called into Dave's to pick up some spares for the Cico so I could fit the exhaust today.. .hows that for service...texted him at 11.00pm last night to order a set of exhaust hanger rubbers and picked them up on a Sunday..  :D :D
Then called into my mate's mother place ( he is here from the US visiting her as she is not well at all ) as he had unearthed some old photos of my very first Laverda not long after I got it, then some of it when I Jotarised it, there are a couple of me on it competing in a gymkana at some rally ( winning it too boot ) then some of my 1980 Jota...
And there is one of his Jota laying on it's side at Rabi's place in Beudesert where we had to effect surgery on its starter clutch..
Then the next album we opened has some of the early days from Club Laverda NSW... also one picture of particular interest is of a bunch of Executives in a showroom .... now this will just drive the rivet counters crazy, as they bang on about Silver being the only colour for Executives, yet mine is black??? ... so this photo should put a downer on this "urban myth once and for all " me thinks.
Now as soon as I can figure out how to get them into a digital format will upload them to the gallery..
Only problem is that ones of me with my bikes back then I somehow look a bit different hopefully someone can figure it out for me.
Nice pics Mark by the way.
 
Great pics from Lakeside , very jealous of your weather but it's improving ,just listened to Oz accumulating 377 runs in the cricket World Cup Now it's up to Sri Lankans 6 4s of one Johnson over Fark !!
 
Well today I racked up some more Kms on my drummer and started to gain some more confidence with her and run the tacho past 6000 a couple of times, this bike has original mufflers and the tiniest collector I have ever seen great for rivet counting but severly strangles the exhaust in fact the sound of the spinning primary chains is taken over by the massive induction roar when that cable is pulled some more

G'Day Maurice: I think it's the baffling in the silencers which strangles the exhaust rather than the tiny collector: as you know, my drummer *1173* has the same collector and exhaust, however, someone over in Breganze laser cut some holes in the back of the silencers to let the noise and restrictions out: loud as hell and goes like stink.. :D  Agree though, the induction roar is pretty immense (especially with mesh filtered stacks fitted :o),

Maate, good to see you there today.. nothing like Red telling you that you'd be listed as a "slack carn" if you didn't hey.. :LOL:
Meantime, last run on Monty was a bit sad, but let me just say that are 3 or 4 vital ingredients to get a race bike going.. like air in tyres, oil in motor, a good charge in the battery.... and farkn FUEL.. that always helps.. ;)

Say no more..

Ta for "Goldie" photos Mark - they can be made to go well. I remember in 1979, at a National Avon series round  at Cadwell - a bloke on a Goldie was in the field against all the jap stuff, Jotas, Montys, RD400's etc. I had a quick snigger until it finished 3rd - but it was the legendary John Cronshaw on it - probably the best in the world at making Goldies go quick - both in the workshop and on the track. - regards - Phil
 
Yea Phil, beautiful bike, and very quick.. Was in my second session, and listening to Monty motor as we went over the hill.. I'd just committed to go again down the straight and heard this new sound kick in... ???
And the next thing you knew.. this shiny BeeZa blasts by..
Glad for that.. at least Monty was OK.. :P

Good luck getting the rivet counter to cut holes in the back of his Lafraconi's ... glad no one has done that to my set either

Maurice throw a set of slaters on it and keep the original pipes unmolested that is what I say..........
If you choose to bring the drummer instead of the 3C to the Barry then that would be OK with me :-) so now you have the choice of 2 bikes  :D :D :D

 
Took the RGS and Jota for MoT (road worthiness) tests yesterday, both passed :)
Fired up the Jota at the MoT station and it was running like a bag of shite, only firing on two. Took it for a short ride, hoping it would clear, but no >:(
Didn't have time to check after I got home, but fired it up again today - same problem, RH cylinder not firing. Changed the spark plug (NGK B9EV) and normal service is resumed :D
Did a few checks, adjusted the drive chain and centre stand pivot bolts. 35 miles on the clock now, itching to do a lot more! (bikebend)
