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

I want a press like that! Can't bring myself to load more stuff into the workshop - and hoping once my two projects are on the road I won't need another press for any conceivable time.

Hello! Yes it?s a real good investment and I'm so glad I purchased it. Much more affordable than they used to be but still a significant expense, you know, so many toys... Acceptable quality for most jobs though I wonder whether it will provide sufficient stability as to work with pressed pin crankshafts. Will know soon. I'll check later on today if a 18" rim fits in, seems a bit tight.

Did a beautiful autumnal day tour through Eifel, Moselle valley (crossed several times) and Hunsrueck today:

Trees (and calendar) shows definitely autumn, but temperatures were very mild for the season though.

Cheers

Toured around there, the Ardennes and Luxemburg on the SF2 two years ago. Beautiful region.
I didn't realise that the Hunsr?ck of Heimat fame was around there. That series put me very ill at ease.

I wasn?t aware that this series was broadcasted outside of Germany. I really like it!
The locations of the fictitious village "Schabbach" have been mainly in Woppenroth
and Gehlweiler. There are also Wikipedia pages about "Heimat":

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heimat_(Filmreihe)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heimat_(film_series)
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heimat_(mini-s%C3%A9rie)

The area can be quite barren, in Hunsr?ck even more than in the Eifel. Many villages are
only half inhabited, the young generation does not find life there "cool" and migrates off
to the cities ...

Cheers

Jo, this is just about my favourite series ever. Watched the first series again recently all the way through. For years i have walked about humming tunes from it since i saw it in the late eighties. True that. Such strong music. It is a masterpiece. I think the final episode was terrible, so call it a flawed masterpiece, which is fine because there is no such thing as perfection right ?
 
So this series was also aired in the UK? That surprises me even more! And I'm glad you liked it!

It was also a very long story, and patience is a virtue that today is no longer willing to raise ...
In this context, I am all the more pleased that you liked this series!

Cheers
Jo
 
its right up there with the very best Jo. Do you remember the episode when Weigand's motorbike went missing and it ended up in the midden ? ('misthaufen' in German !) and Weigand  knew that Glasisch had put it in there, but there was no proof !
 
My mum loved it..she hails from there..apparently they speak in a certain dialect..low German which she hadnt heard for decades 
 
I can?t remember that it was repeated here in Germany on TV within the last 10/20 years. Maybe a hint
to get hold of the entire DVD-pack ?

As far as dialects are concerned I remember a boozy night with two truck drivers from Lancashire on my
2014 IoM TT visit. In the 1st hour I was totally lost ...

Jo,

I watched the whole series on WDR ( regional TV station for that area ) a few years back.
They don't make TV series like that any more :(

Second job on the list completed........Oil change and filter screen check, all tickety boo....... and a shot worthy of next years calendar ? (bigthumb) steady yourself now!  :D


 
Not specifically Laverda related but after the 4 days on the bike last weekend in lots of twisty roads that require plenty of body movement and finding that the winter liner in my crazily expensive jacket has a gusset at the top where it has been trying to slowly SAW my head off from around my neck I will try and find something less SAW like to get sewed over it. Best bike jacket in the world appears to have another design issue.Does anyone actually test ride this stuff.
 
You're such a delicate little thing Vince  :D

Cut a piece out of your mum's silk scarf and sew that over the nasty rough bit.
Or you could try sandpapering your neck every day until you've built up a nice calloused area.
