thinking of adding a "Non Laverda Projects" forum section. Opinions?

We look forward to seeing it!

My Suzuki 1400 wire wheel conversion will get a run, it may even prompt me to pull my finger out and get it finished.

And well said Cam and Todd, I fully agree with your sentiments.

BTW, I loved Julian’s BSA build, not as much as the Laverda race bike thread though. PLC’s Gilera, Lemons ..... old Italian single thing, Cams sidecar pictures. Even the recent Bim’s thread is interesting, Greg’s Amercanchi bikes raises eyebrows too. Someone’s serious Kawasaki endurance bike a few years ago.
And the racing toasters ....... :love:
 
Cmon Paul, just because you can't find a decent Gilera forum.

I don't believe that a non Laverda section will stop threads sliding off topic and quite honestly, that's part of the fun, as long as it doesn't become aggressive. Would the forum administrators cut off any remark that isn't strictly Laverda related?
Pulling a bearing out of a Gilera case is perfectly relevant to pulling a bearing on a Laverda.
There have always been non Laverda topics and references. For me at least, it's part of the fun.
Leave it as it is and don't turn it into a stuffy place with moderators on every corner.

I say go for it. You should never stop learning new things and I personally love seeing other members weird and wacky non Laverda projects. Looking at members bike owned lists turns up some really left field bikes. Like Steve’s CBX and Woody’s Benelli Tornado. Would be interested to read about non Laverda projects 😀👍

I have no problem either, but I think it should be under a non-Laverda section. Me, I don’t own any Laverdas, but I’m out and about occasionally on brother Marty’s red RGS. Guzzis are more my thing (1100 Sport, Mk 2 Le Mans), although I have just expanded the stable to include a Morini 3 1/2 Sport (wire wheel/twin leading shoe model) with an 800 MV Agusta due to arrive soon. I’d welcome another thread to discuss matters Morini in particular - it’s been five decades since I wrangled adjusting the brakes on a non-disk-braked bike…..

That is a Laverda topic since the majority of Laverda motorcycles built have drum brakes.

We've been rolling along together for a very long time and lots of Laverda stuff has already been discussed to death. As it happens, I now like hanging out here for the people, not just for Laverda content. Witty, intelligent, enlightened, insightful and entertaining are just some of the words that cannot be used to describe you fekkers :-)

If we were sat in the pub together, I'd like to hear your opinion on a shit load of stuff, rather than just what rolled out of the Breganze factory gates.

Keep it semi-firmly Laverda centric for sure, but roam around a bit, probably keeping it to 2 wheelers, mechanics, electrics and so on. Stay off politics and religion (and the like) or it will all go down the tube in very swift order. Moderators nightmare.
 
Dear Paul, I can stand it when a topic in our forum slides off, I can stand it when someone opens a non-Laverda thread in our forum, but I appreciate this forum as a purely LAVERDA forum - there are enough other forums for other interests. Ciao, Gert

Wow, who knew how serious some get over this stuff. Maybe we are all become angry old bastards. I hope that the new section can defuse any negative pressure, and even reduce some of the self-censorships that might occur. To me, forums die when people get scared to post in case they offend. I have no interest in Aussie Rules football so I don't go to that thread much, but occasionally I do and it doesn't cause much harm to me if I read something not so interesting once in a while. BTW who posted that Mini info, I too am interested.

Surely “Aussies Rules” is an oxymoron
 
Good idea..can only add to the enjoyment of browsing the forum.
My girlfriend loves beet root..I don't...I love green peppers and she doesn't ..and yet both foods reside peace in the fridge.
