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

That Martin is really nice. Amazing how good they can look when you remove all the horrid 80's amateur bodywork from such specials.  And that one seems particularly well finished.  Tasty, is the Bomber taking notes?  :)
 
He made the tank himself and the forks are from a ZX7R.
I can ask him more questions when I see him soon at Retroclasica in Bilbao.
He has quite a few other nice bike makes too.
 
Thanks. Interesting. Looks almost like the frame was designed for a bigger engine. Lots of room at the front. Mind you, I don't even know if Moto Martin actually did a specific Laverda frame! So what do I know?
 
He said it was this frame was designed specifically for the Laverda triple.
Can't be too many of them knocking about.
 
Haven't done anything with the bike today, well not yet.
Busy cleaning out my desk, shredding all the stuff not allowed to be seen by mere mortals, putting all my personal effects into a box (including my SFC750 poster and Lav calendar), nothing else to do except a security debrief tomorrow and hand in my swipe cards. Think I might go home and go for a little ride. :)
 
Looks the goods, but with that tank, in my neighbourhood, only good for a run to the shop (with a fuel stop on the way back)

:o Did you get the sack?
 
No. I'm retiring! Retiring to the centre of the universe (Cudlee Creek), I've done my sixty-five. Now I can go for rides with Blab on his RDOs :D.

Half your luck Terry. I wish I could retire, but can't see it happening for some years yet.

Before you settle in on the retirment scene (and get too busy), if you want you can put some more miles on the Peril, pop over and I'll give you a paint brush and some oil for the red cedar boards on my house ......... I have a pool which is inviting, and has a perfect spot for me to watch your work skills from.
 
Finally got my front tyre,after a 19 incher came with 18 in the label.Adjusted the rear sets,they were a touch high and I bolted the gear rod to the lower hole of 2 on the bit up front.Made a hell of a difference,now the through is half what it was.Half a dozen small jobs and its ready for The Snowy Run.Big turn out this year,14 signed up
 
Thanks for the invite Chris would love to come over and brandish a paint brush. Unfortunately, 'she who has to be obeyed' has other plans for me, also involving a paint brush :o
 
Went out for a nice midweek run on Wilfred! Left at 5am. Met my cousin  on his new speed triple at  Yatala then Tambo, Canungra, Advancetown, Chillingham, Murbah, North Tumby and Terranora. Called in for a cuppa with my grandparents. Exhaust silencer nearly fell off on the way home but managed a decent fix and just cruised the highway north.

Was back in the office by 11:00am and nobody noticed a thing. Great morning out!!!
