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

Bought an Odyssey PC625 battery.  Sluggish starting on cold mornings no more.



 
Feed to rear light on the SF2 had disappeared a few months ago. Investigation had revealed that the LH handlebar switch was responsible due to wear. Feed to rear has since been off feed to dip beam. Had bought a near identical switch for a Suzuki 50 so spent an hour this afternoon grafting the slinding bits of the new switch into the old. Haven't hooked it up yet. Will see on FRiday. If it doesn't work, it will mean grafting the central contact boards of the new switch into the old, involving some soldering. I'd rather avoid.

Took #6522 out for a spin again. Breakfast and coffee in Vic Park, then down to the All Australian Car Show at Waroona, quite a few Aussie classics there, onto Collie, Darkan, Arthur River, Williams, Narrogin, Brockton, Beverly, York, Northam, Toodyay, and back home.
A shorter ride today, only 735km.
Terrific weather to ride in, the bike loved it.
Especially riding after a storm, the temperature was down and the air a bit moist, the bike seemed to have some extra zip.

25 miles on a cool, spring morning around Somerset A and B roads as my wife's introduction to pillion on my 1200T. She says it's great, and not too loud :)

Keep up. Haven't you read Andychain's missive on lubrication for "O" and "X" link chains  :LOL:
 
Take care saying anything about not lubing chains,that's red rag to a bull to some.I stopped 95% of lubing years ago after O rings came in.Seems the lube couchans between the sprockets and the chain,grasping at straws is what that sounds like to me.What would Andy know after maybe 40 years at this stuff,according to him very minimum lube if at all ..
BTW whats happened to Andy, hasnt been around lately.
 
The Mongrel RGS breathes fire after a long winters slumber. Out in the shed at 6am this morning putting it back together & firing the beastie up. Out for a wee run today me thinks, a bit overcast but dry.

Happy days are here again!!!! (_!_)
