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

Good to see you got home safely Brett big effort on your very reliable Jota and of course thanks for helping sort my bike out even though you were suffering some strange "virus" nothing to do with that shiney flask thing????
I am starting to think Tom may have spiked our drinks Friday night! been a couple of big weekends at Torquay Laverda Central lately
But all for the greater good`pretty sad to think all I managed to ride today was a smelly old Guzzi????

It's cheap considering all the costs assopciated with unloading seem to be included, as well as an NZ WOF (MOT), TIP (I assume I'd have to pay a bond) and insurance.  Not sure if it includes unloading at this end, but I know roughly what this would be from the last time.  Reckon I'll pack the tent and stay six weeks.  Scottish winter?  What Scottish winter? :D

Missed the coast and surfaced a fair way inland?  :LOL:
 
....as it was 11c (almost summer) here in southern Scotland and no salt on roads for a couple of weeks, thought I would take the Mirage for a spin, wouldn't start, think the battery is twatted. 
Did fifty on the beemer instead, smiles all round...until I remembered I have to stump up for a new battery !

Yep four years in her :D. Also known as the sardine's revenge - seventy four men tightly packed in oil!
Holbrook was originally called Germanton but during WWI, this was deemed unpatriotic so the town was renamed Holbrook after Lt Holbrook won the VC whilst in command of a pommy submarine.
Thanks for posting Brett.
