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

[kate n guy]

I squeezed past mine..to get my old loop frame guzzi out for the VMCC North Staffs section Hangover run....which starts from Leek Market Square and today was very well attended...tho I still can't put any pics up...am a techno numpt.....
The Caff at Wetton Mill is the destination...and whatever the weather...much like the Peak District scenery....never fails to deliver.....
A few icy patches kept us all on our toes...with the occasional unintentional bit of offroading here and there....Italian marques were represented only by Guzzi...alas....
Also present was this forums 'Harry Lime' and his lovely bride......dunno what happened on here...but I miss his take on stuff......so nice to see them both anyway........Happy New Year all.....Carpe Diem........

Finally finished preparing the Jota for the German TueV (=worst case MOT)
The bike looks and runs great. I think it's fine, dare say they will find something. 
Wasted some time repainting the spotty badges.
Now the 1200 is on the hoist...

Posted a pic of the RGS on the Practical Sportsbike Facebook page. Lots of comments and likes.
It is a very nice bike.

Took the yellow peril for a spin to check out the new primary drive chain and fiddle with the rear shock damping; the new duplex chain (thanks Red) certainly is much quieter than the two chains it replaces. Was getting a very 'choppy' ride with the YSS shocks set at two turns out from the softest setting, stopped and set them at three turns out which gave a much improved ride, still a bit of fettling to do.

I put the forks back in the Jota after having don an oil change in them.

 

[Terry Dymond]

Why do you take the forks off to change the oil?

 

[Laverdalothar]

'cause he can...?!? 

 

[Terry Dymond]

Good enough for me

That's a beautiful looking Guzzi, Kate.

Why thankyou Aldo........

Why do you take the forks off to change the oil?

It's quicker to drop the fork legs out than faffing about taking the bars off to gain access to the top nuts on the forks.

 

[Terry Dymond]

Hadn't thought of that, being a lowly RGS rider

Took the SF2 into town for shopping and a trip to the town hall to establish some documents.

My Breganzie is sleeping - Next summer tend to let her sleep. Buy a Boler Camper to tow behind my Jeep with a canoe and fishing rod  - Get LOST as far as I can in the Woods.

Been over them roads and HWY's riding a Breganzie too many times. The Worlds moving too fast for me and I wanna slow down.

I guess that's what's getting old is all about.

Put some parafin in the heater in the shed. Intend to torque down 600 TT2 head over the next few days.

Had a scoot out through Yarra Junction to Powelltown where the road to Noojee has a great mixture of fast sweepers and tight twisties. A small detour on the way home through Nayook was well worth it for another great piece of road.


.............and I believe the mayor and major landholder of Noojee has a close association with Laverdas...........
