The Coke/Fanta might have been nice, but a Yacht Club :o no place for for us poor country cousins........................
 
That's the new Falcon rear shocks set up now.  Springs are 100lb and match the Wilbers ones in the forks pretty well, just need to sort out the front damping and then it's cosmetics.

Oh yeah, love it in black- it's actually metallic.  Paint isn't too bad- few scuffs here especially on the seat cover so unlikely to get done just yet.  But the downpipes are 'orrible and the collector will probably go through at some stage.  The fork sliders are the worst- will do them over the winter when I put in the emulators.  Seat cover is not brilliant, think the pan may be cracking too.  Otherwise it's not too bad really.
 
So, the move back to Scotland is complete and I have all my stuff and bikes here now.
Busy shining up the cottage and also making a new workshop.
Still a lot to do on both fronts but I expect to have the cave up and running by the weekend.
Just laid a new floor in it and am still building shelving to take all my stuff. Still about 20 boxes to unpack so it'll be touch and go if I can get it all in.
If anyone wants Laverda repairs/restorations just PM me.

 
Reckon I'll spend most of this weekend on it. I wanted to get the bike finished in time for the Concours, but, b'jesus I'll have my work cut out for me.
The list is getting shorter, but ................
 
Sat on it (the RGS mongrel track bike), put my feet on the rear-set pegs and the new hinge in my leg hardly protested at all. Not sure how I'd go actually riding it, shifting weight and all, but it's a big improvement on last time I tried it. It's just under 3 months since the knee replacement and there's still a way to go in the recovery process. Hopefully I'll be fit for the historic race meeting at Symmons Plains (Tassie) in November.
 
good new on the knee, Cam!

As for my Laverda, I've checked that it's still in the shed and I'm still looking for a place to store the bikes and all the kibble. It  seems to be easy enough to find a storage container but it would be nice to actually have somewhere that I can use as a workshop as well.

 
found an update on the Laverda, Vincent and Enfield oil/gas field off of West Aussie coastline
someone in their upper management team must have been a motorcycle tragic to name the fields after motorcycles


Woodside Petroleum Ltd. announced Monday that the firm and its joint venture partner Mitsui E&P Australia have given the go-ahead for the development of the $1.9 billion Greater Enfield Project, located 37 miles (60 kilometers) off Exmouth, Western Australia, with first oil targeted for mid-2019.

The project, which seeks to develop 69 million barrels of oil equivalent from the Laverda Canyon, Norton over Laverda (WA-59-L) and Cimatti (WA-28-L) oil accumulations, will be produced via a 19 mile (31 kilometer) subsea tie-back to the Ngujima-Yin floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) facility, deployed at the Vincent oil field.

The Greater Enfield Project covers the development of six subsea production wells and six water injection wells, with production supported by subsea multiphase booster pumps in the Laverda area and gas lift in the Cimatti area.

 
I spent about a year working for Woodside back in the early 90s commuting into the office everyday on the Motodd. Would park next to one of the bosses Aston Martin and he reckon my Laverda was pretty cool. Reckon he must have named that field after my Laverda then!!! :D
