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

Put some WD40 in these holes and got rid of that "graunch" sound on starting.

That won't free up all the rollers and springs. You need to take the freewheel off for that.

Speaking of sore fingers, this is my recent effort. Angle grinder with a cutting disc. 53 hours waiting in Royal Melbourne for 1 hr of surgery (while fasting - nearly died of hunger).

That's what we call a mingery.

Drove 100 miles to see new seat unit and go over some finer details, drive back 100 miles with the roads full of wankers towing fuckin caravans. 1.5 hrs there, 3 hrs back.

Well done Pat. You're now a member of the angle grinder's dickhead club, as am I. We're in good company because Keith Nairn is a member too. My own attempt at amputating a finger with a cutting disk was a few years ago. It's well and truly healed now but there's still a permanent dark-coloured mark from the black stuff the cutting disk was made of. It has stayed in my skin like a tattoo.

Rode the last 10 or say K's home tonight without any lights ..........bloody scary round the back of eastern creek raceway no street lights did it by memory... got in the drive and it cut out... not even a dim glow from the neutral light ..............at least my Laverda looked after me enough to get me home  (congrats)
 
Rode the 1200 to the NSW Club meeting tonight.  Pleasant ride home once i got through the Harbour Tunnel and away from the traffic.  Bike running well, but carbs need to be synchronised and got to replace those bulky indicators with the slimline ones that
Red put me onto.  Good to catch up with the usual suspects again - thanks to Brett for the new plug leads.

Food at the Italian place we go to was great - new owners have done a good job.  Spaghetti Carbonara was proper...

Rode it 280km to Glencoe and back to meet SFCPiet and Dory for lunch at the Paedo's (sorry I was late ::))

New BT-016 tyres continue to impress- feel a bit stiffer than the Avons which seem to suit the chassis and very good in mixed conditions.  Forks much improved and new boots have removed the front end wobble (for now)  Yet another bike accident on the A82 by Loch Ness.  Fuck knows what's going on, but I stick to the other side now, even if the road is more demanding. :o

Stopped for a pic at Bridge of Oich

Yeah, caused Piet some confusion.  For some reason Googling The Paedo's Arms doesn't come up with anything useful.  Jimmy Savile had a cottage nearby and there used to be a picture of him in the pub pulling a pint.  Keith christened it The Paedo's. ::)

Why does the entry to the bridge have bollards? That's a lot of bridge for a few pedestrians and joggers.

Bridge has been bypassed.
