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

Finally, after 6 years of restoration, my 1000 SFC now has passed MOT/T?V without any issue!

Now I have to reduce weight to fit into my suite... might be the harder part...  ???
 
:)  My excuse for my fat belly is that my fork springs are too stiff and the extra inches around the gut are a way of getting the fork sag correct  :)
 
  What size are you Lothar? I have a motorcycle suit it has two jackets, 3xl, and 4xl, trousers are 3xl, they were supposed 
  to be made to my personal measurements, (l have long arms and legs) but they weren't, l have only ever tried them on,
  I've never ridden a bike with them, they are all brand new, mainly black with red and white flashes, p.m me if interested
  you'll get a VERY good price on them, less than half price.If you don't want them, they are available to anyone on the
  forum, but you get first crack,

thanks Eric, but the solution for me is not to buy a larger suite (again), it must be reducing weight... :-[ Not only for fitting into the suit, it is more for health
 
never mind the health or the leathers just think of the power to weight ratio.
a few years ago I was 135 kilo's (2012) a few years later I was 85 kilo's and BLOODY HELL did I notice the performance boost! I kept thinking TOG was going so well she is bound to blow up soon, which very often happens.
currently 108 kilo's and trying hard again, which makes my moody, depressed, lethargic miserable, short tempered, and probably unappealing to ladies, but hey ho onwards and upwards.

10 years ago, I was 115Kg, I remember seeing picture of me on my Kawasaki with my gut resting on the tank,  add the fact I needed a pill to keep my hard-on maintained, thought I needed to do something about it.

Have been going to the gym for ten years, and limited beer intake (replaced with a healthy red wine or three) and averaged 84Kg...... but, a hernia operation 6 weeks before I went to Europe and two months being away, so, about 3 months latter without any gym, I struggle to find jeans to wear that won't cut me in half. And am feeling lethargic all the time.

Back at gym this week, and am sore, but need to get my mojo back, as the early morning starts at the gym are a struggle.

To get you blokes, and me motivated, how about we have a competition to see who can loose weight the fastest .....  percentage to be fair.  ;)

 
That's a great idea, Chris. i've never had to worry too much, but at 64 (years ... in two weeks) I make sure I exercise - bike riding being the thing for me. It's not just the weight benefit, the mind seems more at ease when the endorphins from working hard are doing their thing.
 
In the last couple of years I've gone from 78-80kgs to 83kgs and now I'm freaking out. It's my gut that's growing :o I eat really healthy, zero junk food and don't drink that much beer so it's down to not enough exercise. When building the house everyday was a workout, now I'm in the workshop building all the furniture and not as active.
Never been a gym sort of guy or a runner so that's out. Should start walking in the morning but I guess I'm not that motivated to get out of bed early to do it.
 
Clem, i have told you before..get a Springer  spaniel...you remember how Kip will go for miles across the fields through woods. Nice way to keep fit..dont do gyms myself, though lots of squash and tennis..and dogs😉 A dog like that will lift your mood too, great things. Start tomorrow? Pop over at say 830 and we can do a local nice walk..not too far. I do have a few run ins with the farmer..bring your shotgun?😉

Ooooh, yeah! :D

piet (currently at 84kg, down from 96.  Not too hard to get there, far more difficult to stay!)
 
As i'm waiting on a ton of goodies from Red, to get the Executive going.

I figured, it is a beautiful day here in Melbourne, so what should i do... polish the Laverda primary cover.

I thought I'd have a go at polishing the cover in situ... if it comes up good it will save me having to remove it.

The battery drill is not the best tool, so I'll go see if i can find any of those old fashioned ones with a cord :)

I bought a cheap supercheap auto kit, and in this pic i have just used the second stage compound and wheel as the cover is in great condition... I've got to say that I'm pretty happy with the result.. it is looking great .. though ive only done the easy big flat areas...

I've done above the Laverda logo...
