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

Almost finished preparing the Barcelona for Club Rego.  Will probably change one of the white Marchal's for a Yellow one.  Just need to fit a horn and new chain and that should be it.  Lights and indicators are fitted so as to be easy to remove.  Acewell 1600 speedo, Grip Ace hidden switch system in left hand grip for high/low, horn, indicators and starter.

Seriously lovely Yogi,

I am particularly pleased you qualified ownership on the rest of the fleet - i was losing faith for a moment.

Yogi keen to see it in the flesh,hear it was well.Maybe snag a ride even,Will said it went like the powers around the service roads at its home base.Be interesting to see it around.
 
Arrived home this arvo and a small box was waiting for me from Redax with new starter clutch parts. Quickly reassembled, gave it a drink of oil and took for quick spin - goin just like a bought one :D
Thanks Red & Max for the quick service.

(while I was mucking around took the fairing off and haven't put it back on yet - always amazes me how different the bike feels without the series 2 fairing - feels twice as quick and a real hooligan bike :))

Take it over 180ks for a prolonged period, you'll soon like the fairing again  ;)

Well yeh, but fuck me, they impound your bike if they catch you doing that around town these days ::).

Anyway, when I was 21 monoing on my road bike usually ended up with me falling off - buggered if I know, but I think alcohol had something to do with it  - ahhh it all seemed like such innocent fun back then........... :P

You mean until we realised how much damage a broken chain could inflict on a crankcase and, subsequently, our wallets :o

:D :D
 
I got home from work at just before 6pm and by 7pm I'd got new front and rear brake pads & pins in my 500. I've also put a new set of Raask adjustable bars on it and looked at them in disgust because they're about 2" per side longer than the originals so Sunday will see me attacking them with a disc grinder.

Sunday will see me stripping the carbs and rebuilding them with the nice new service kits that were waiting for me and then it's time for new throttle cables that came with the rest of the clutter.
 
SF2 apart from work and shoping duties will be out for a spin to find a good beer in Belgium tomorrow midday. Temperature will hardly be off 0 C?.

Within two weeks, the machine will enter it's winter once over.
Am busy recomisioning the Saturno as a daily hack whilst that happens.

Well today I had heaps of fun on the SFC750 at the Geelong revival sprint races, not thats really a good sprint bike but it certainly entertained the crowd as it was the only Laverda racing and as for the noise ahhhhhhhhhhhh.
Here is my pit crew.
