Or your lack of communication
Met Shajota this morning at Airlie beach
Will see you for a beer when I get back Pete
Vince actually went there twice as it goes, got home and figured that some Gelato would be nice so took the RGS for a run. So technically that would make 4 Laverda's there today.
Cosi we havent figured out how to use phones as a way of communication, thought that they were for taking photos... maybe you can teach us at Bello how they work.
if sober enough that is.

Oh God, I've gotta spend some money on a drum brake 3 1/2 Sport. I just love 'em. Riding them's better than looking at them too!

Took my blue SF up to the Darley Dale Festival of Transport. Last of these events, which is a shame. Sort of got too local and with free entry for exhibitors, I don't think anyone was paying.............
(Can't be bothered to size the photos down, apologies to anyone who's bandwidth strapped.)
Bloody Harleys!
Bloody kids!
Bloody Kwackers!
My MOT guy's current project. He's building a new barn for it!
A local event for local people.....so............

.............then chucked some lead replacement gunge in the tank, tensioned the drive chain, checked the primary chain tension, adjusted rear brake, put some new plugs in....slightly light colour on the ones that came out, hmmmm, might check the timing next.
Done quite a few miles this summer, that SF1.
Might clean it later.

Have a picture of the "best in show" instead. I told you it was a somewhat "local" show, i.e. a bit agricultural.
Oh, and here's a Chimney-Sweep-Mobile! Lived and worked in Derbyshire all its life.

I've been restless of late, and think I've come to a decision. :
As we will be downsizing real estate soon, my shed space is going to be limited, and too many bikes in the stable needs to be slimmed down.
After doing some shed time on the weekend, with one eye on the SF "Non Laverda Frankenstein".
Plan is to strip it down and fit the SF 270 degree, 880cc Godzilla motor into it. A set of Ducati Sport 1000 wire wheels, and a suit of Bobas SFC carbon clothes and register it for the occasional punt up the road.
It's not a big job to drop the motor, and slip it into the track frame when required and throw the Frankenstein's fibreglass cothes on.
So will need to fit a starter, and a japper alternator up front.
Now I just have to sell a few, what could be seen as, "surplus" bikes.
I hate these decisions, but sometimes they have to be made. :'(

$2500 and were on fella.....
Packed the SF2 with tent and panniers Friday morning and set off for the 80 km to the Croix en Ternois track where I was to be marshalling this weekend due to the race bike still being in "evoluzione" mode.
Lovely weather, pretty dull road since the first 60km are urban.
Bike happy to be doing something other than commuting.
One beer stop.
Pitched the tent and went into town for the evening meal and back to the track to spend an enjoyable evening with friends.
Trackside at 8 am next morning. All fine until around 5 pm when the skies opened up putting an end to the days racing since the lowest part of the track was covered by 50 cm of water and mud. It took until Sunday 10 am to clear the mess up and get the bikes out again.
A decent rock band Saturday evening, a lot to drink which helped getting into a damp sleeping bag for the night, my tent having been visited by water.
Sundays racing was good once the sun came out and I was able to set back off towards home around 5 pm.
A fast ride back, a few drops of rain and this morning, bike out again for the ride to work.

Last week I NOVA'd the Barcelona (easier than I thought) and today I insured it and got a day light MOT.
Got an op on my right ankle tomorrow so will be on cruches for two weeks, but hope to have a registration number on it before the end of the riding season.
The weather this summer in the UK has been glorious. 64 degrees today which is pretty good for near as dam it October in the UK.
