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

Years ago I bought a plastic travelling funnel that was perfect, it was 3/4 the size of the palm of your hand and approx 75mm long and the spigot but the best bit was it was exconcentric, the big bit was splayed out of round and it laid in place perfectly allowing the oil to dribble just where you wanted it to go. I wish I still had it, it was 100% better than the time I made a funnel out of rolled-up newspaper. Luckily the thousands I have spent on engine rebuilds has it never using any oil now, Plus THE FIXERS work on the engine head leakes helped greatly. But I still miss my perfect little yellow plastic travelling funnel.

Not if you make it a permanent fixture. Just put a bath plug in the funnel to stop rubbish falling in.  :D

WAYYYY Too funny ;) ;) ;)    triple laughs, naturally.

Downside is, that someone may mistake it for a pissoir and take a leak in it.

Kind regards,
Jacques
 
I have 2 bike lift tables and one fixed table (red, blue and black respectively).
It has been a big job getting it this far. The only parts able to be saved from the grenaded engine were the selectors and gearbox. All else was thrown in the bin or kept for the owner's wall of shame.
 
I've removed my 3CL frame and 3C engine from my flat. Grant will know what that means.
My van has been parked illegally for 5 weeks outside, the virus has its upsides too  :D
I cant progress on anything now, My 3C needs a rebore and other parts are stuck in transit.
I've got lots of little Hondas from the sixties but I'm getting bogged down with deliveries there too.
Luckily I'm a key worker and can earn money phew!
 
I started going through my boxes of motorcycle stuff in the garage, looking for the new 3c neutral switch I bought a while ago. I know I saw it a few months ago when I was sorting piles of junk, so it's just a question of time until I unearth it.
Might be easier just to buy another one  :(

That'll guarantee that you find it.
 
My Frame, subframe and all the associated parts, disc carriers, chain tensioners etc ,  for my Jota resto mod  project arrived back from the powder coaters today. This first shots are the bikini fairing subframe, everything is still out in the car, which helps me stay in the workshop working ! I went with Tiger Drylac 59/92623 Sparkle silver, It looks insanely good in the sun light.
This weekend is now full of Laverda work, the rest of this weeks evenings i need to  finish the work I have been doing on the  750ss  and get it of the stand to make space for the Jota frame.
 
for some reason the photos didn't upload

Well,  the maintenance of the SFC has had to be postponed, I was thrown from one of the horses last evening and broke my collarbone on my left side.  At 65, I don't bounce like I used to!!
