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

The Dandenongs was where I first noticed The Furn and its placement next to the better type Motorbike roads, not hard when there 30ft tall. Black Boys as well although I haven't seen one of those for a very long time. I think they may appear only after big fires have been though. So if you see, big ferns, black boys , bush fires and cops parked near overtaking lanes you probably are on a good bike road.

I had new tank decals fitted to the Atlas. They were produced at my request from a photo of the tank.
While the tank was off I fitted new plugs and caps and cleaned the air filter.

Along with the other new parts I fitted a couple of weeks ago it really freshens the bike up and hopefully it will sell soon to a new home.




 
I can source these tank stickers if any Atlas owner needs them.
Yes, the bike does look quite a bit better compared to when I bought it.

 
... some progress in workshop renovation in the last days. :D Now nearly empty it will be stuffed with bikes and parts soon again!

Ciao, Gert

PM, what I would like to know is - what the hell is Freddie Mercury doing eating in that establishment?  :o
 
It was a nice, sunny day here in Germany, so:
Rode the Jota about 100 metres, just to check the kevlar clutch is working. It is. :) MOT / TUEV / WOF on Monday if it doesn't snow.
Rode the RGS about 20km, to charge the battery. Nice ride, temperature was a balmy 5C.
Rode the K1600GT to a dealer - felt like the temperature was about 20C.  :D Trade-in time...(and yes, I know it isn't a Laverda)
The blasted 1000 SFC wouldn't start, wouldn't even fire  :-X not even with jumper leads from the BMW. Strange, it has been 100% reliable thus far. I think the ignition system doesn't like cold & damp.
Fiddled with the 1200, need to get that MOT'ed as well...
Took the battery out of the Atlas and had a brief look at various bits. Needs lots of work to get it tidied up, even though it runs well.

Beer O'Clock now.

Started the 1200TS which has been sat in the communal car park here with a cover on it for a year. I last started it in the summer, anyway its ride on mower battery fired it right up hurrah!! I warmed it up for a few minutes then a guy appeared complaining about the noise (standard baffled silencers dont you know too).
He said you've been doing that for an hour, I said more like ten minutes......and apologised.
It was actually quite funny, a silly old bugger (me) being told off by a bearded hipster type guy in his 30's........something seriously wrong with this world ha ha!
They sure are plastic rebels these days.
 
Hello Maurice no it still isn't registered but I awakened it from its slumber with a plan in mind ha ha!
You wouldn't want to be riding anything in the foul weather we have right now either  :D
 
My welder friend has nearly finished crafting the SFC megga for the 3C project bike.  Just the strengthening ribs to attach now - hence my mystery part post.
I'm really grateful for his work
