round 2 bears morgan park

Bet you guys have been flat out up there in the Redax rainforest 👍
I’m sure the Laverda gods are smiling, all the very best, have a top weekend guys.
I reckon 22 is a bloody good number
😀👍
 
Awesome - finally the chance to get out and play again. We are so lucky to have this virum under control here - so far!! Good luck to all riders. May you fly and keep the rubber side down (except during wheelstands!).
 
So Matt has put the bike on the middle of the front row behind an F5 bike
We changed out the gearing which he reckons helped and actually ended up have to make less changes
New front and rear tyres
Also great to meet Herman
So we got a photo of bike, rider, frame builder and engine guru

So last race of the day the Hansford trophy Matty left the line better this time the plan was to do a few laps and then see if he wanted to continue
Well put the gate he’s up to third by lap one then after the third lap he’s moved into second and there he stayed for the rest of the race up against some mighty fine bikes and not only Bears bikes 🚴
So all goes well for tomorrow as we have three Bears races and now he’s getting the starts sorted out
( after some coaching from the world famous Bevelman whose starts are legendary who can ever forget him leading the pack into turn one at Eastern Creek a few years back only to decide that he should let the no1 factory rider through later on bloody team orders huh ) anyways seems his wise words of wisdom did the trick
Bring in tomorrow I say 👍
Also whilst we didn’t have any Laverda suspension gurus on site we managed to get some assistance from Chris Jones on tweaking the rear shock
Real shame the gurus weren’t around but Chris seems to have made some changes the work so we will have to manage perhaps when we’re in Sydney sometime down the track we can get the real suspension blokes on the job 😎now that would be cool that is if Chris hasn’t sorted it by then

After seeing how many front and rear springs were on Troy Balisses suspension techs cart at Eastern Creek last year, they constantly chase correct spring rates apperenty and check progress with a stopwatch.Way beyond my BS

People can say what they like about which configuration is faster but those 180 triples sound totally unique and bloody fantastic.
It also sounds lie everything is going to plan, keep it coming.
