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

Hey Grant:

Boba's tank says 'Made In Italy'.

Doesn't that change it from a replica to a fake?
The antiques and art provenance police will be up in arms.

How come it isn't raining mo?

Cause there are no clouds in the sky. No Clouds, no rain.

Thanks for that photo from behind Grant. I did many a mile hiding (sort of) in behind that fairing between Sydney and Brisbane back in the 80's. Nothing like sitting on 160 plus on one of these, they're smooth as silk and really stable.

That sky has to be computer generated  :-*

Nothing Laverda but had a fabulous night at the Rolling Stones concert at Rod Laver arena.
I hope I can go that hard when I am 70!

 

[Terry Dymond]

Glad you enjoyed the Stones as well Maurice.

Definately definately the last run for the year. Back from Houston for a few days so rolled out the beastie for a last blast as the gritters have not been out. Feckin cold but dry. Bike running good in the cold air, tyres shot so a bit iffy on the bends. Stopped in by Laverdian for a coffee & a catch up. Left there & what pulls up behind me in Culter? A Gritter!! Home safe a sound & not a bit of salt on the bike. -4 here tonight & roads covered in salt now. Good times!! 8)

Q: What the hell is a gritter?                    A shirt lifters recipient ?

Well, apart from: EDIT Some Greek businessmen can be real pricks to deal with ( I hope he doesn't have a Laverda and lurk on the forum) .......... I've learnt something else new today.

 

[Sir Sidney Ruffdiamond]

Sadly Gritters out in force down here in La la Land ( Warwickshire - home of the Teletubbies - Google for a laugh)- so Joan Collins is packed away - looking for the moment to get her in the house

Definately definately the last run for the year.

Definite!!
Same here. Finally some high pressure sunshine weather here but the chill accompanies it. Took the tip bike out in the sunshine, being reminded along the way by the frozen puddles in the gutters not to demand anything of the tyres. Dressed to the nines with balaclava, neck warmer etc but frozen fingers after half an hour despite a balmy 3degC in the shade. Must fit those heated grips I got for xmas 10 years ago!! Bike parked up now until spring. You lucky devils in warmer climes!

Rode to work as usual.
Becoming less enjoyable. Dark, roads wet. Cars dangerous.

[Grant]

Almost done.
Just finished rebuilding the Marzocchi shocks just now.
It goes off for a holiday tomorrow to have the engine fitted.
When I get it back I'll add the finishing touches and then start the rebuild on it's sister.
