Look forward to seeing your canvassing contributions, got to push the boundaries though Adam, makes it more interesting and keeps Reggie on his toes even though it fuels his power crazed ego 😀
 
Took the Mongrel RGS out for an early morning run. Got to Aberdeen beach just as the sun rose.  Headed north up the coast road. 320 odd Kms for my morning jaunt. Nice!! 8)

Spanked mine 230km around the Wester Ross trail today on the same mission as Smiddy.  Well pleased with the way that it's running- raised the needles a notch and two turns out on the mixture screws seems to be the go at the moment.  Also not a drop of oil from the exhaust ports- finally got that sussed it seems.  Booked in with Keith for the end of the month to have its valves tweaked.

Picked up ignition wiring from Red yesterday, hooked it all up and went to check electrics ............. battery almost flat >:(
Why angry? Cause I just loaned my only charger to a mate two days ago!
 
Technically nothing, but sold my Morini 500 Sei this evening so have created garage space and $$$ for the next Laverda / s .

Have just listed my Morini 3 1/2 so that will help on both counts too.

At 6 ' 3 " the Morinis were just not that comfortable for me. Didn't have them for very long but they got me back into biking and thus into Laverdas. Growing up in Italy as a kid I had always wanted a 3 1/2, and a Laverda, but interestingly never hankered after Moto Guzzis or Ducatis.

Touching 100 degrees F here in Sonoma earlier in the week, so not v pleasant to ride unless you leave it very late in the day.

Alex,

Have you ever owned a Laverda Triple - at 6'3", you'd have no problem with the height.
 
At last the rain laden clouds parted way for sunny skies more suitable for Laverda riding so I took Nonna out and burnt some petrol and wore out her tyres a bit more, for some reason I failed to check how much fuel was really in the tank and purely by luck rolled into the local petrol station with zero fuel on board I couldn't get any fuel through on reserve hmmm will have to have a look at that.

I had a leak in my car in the recent big rain, went looking and found the windscreen scuttle drain solid with fine dust, now mud. There must be some hydrodynamic theory that accounts for holes getting blocked. This was a good 12mm in diameter with nothing solid starting the dam, just dust.
 
Father forgive me for I have sinned, it over a month since I paid homage to the Yellow Peril and the Adelaide Hills twisty bits.
No worries my son, in penance you shall proceed to Birdwood, Mt Torrens, Tungkillo, Palmer, Sanderson and back home through Mt Pleasant. Unfortunately I didn't feel fully absolved of my sins so I had to do it again. My apologies to the Porsche 911, it helps to know the road I guess :D
