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

Me and old 1247 have permanently departed the land of spiders and snakes for motorcycle Nirvana. Someone might be able to recognise where.

There are 2 places that I know don't have snakes and I dont think its Ireland. Are there any flightless birds that taste nice around.

No, but I'm guessing either the North Island, or the South.

Are all of your other twins there too?

Fortunately there are plenty of whitebait fritters and Foveaux oysters to go round. And plenty of Monteiths as well.  :D

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

At least you actually got to start with Woodside!

I was offered a job in 1997 (activity planner), after messing me around for 6 months they did the dirty on me.
I stayed with Alumina at Alcoa, Pinjarra - I was glad about that in the end.
Oil and gas is a bit too white-knuckle ride for a married man starting out.

As for Laverda, I will be sending my unrestored Marzocchi Strada's up to Grant for a refurb.
The rest of the bike is pretty much original Jota 120, so this will finish it off nicely.
The Koni's won't be chucked though.
 
Nothing Laverda relarted. I'm a failure

I could post something really stupid, but I won't. Beauyse I've  I've had half a bottle of whisky.

It's taken ne about 9 minutes to edit the  typos out of the above limes.
It's taken ne about 5 minutes to edit the  typos out of the above line.

Jedzo, I miss your intelligent, if occasionally offbeat, crypto and amusing contributions to this illustrious forum. Please stay in touch occasionally. Your introductory post (some years ago) is still the best I've seen. I suspect you have hidden depths.

If you have something to say, just say it.

BTW, I've never set foot in NZ. I found the Greymouth cranes by devious means.

Cheers,
Cam
 
Not at all. Still as fissed as a part, bit not beyond reason. Just trying not to mis keys on the keuboard

Davo, as a quack member of the medical professiuob, please note htat I'm not recommending being inebriated as a good thing or a cure-all, but it can occasionally relieve day-to-day stresses. 

What stresses could an old retired motorcyclist like me have? Well there are more things in life than bikes ...
 
Will it ever end, nobody mentioned the elephant in the room. 10 minutes from Point Piper to The Wentworth,maybe with a siren on.More like 30 minutes.
