Good Stuff, I too went for a mere 7 hour run on the Silver Jota it was a foggy morning so went in search of sun, found sun, rain, more fog and some chilly air but the Jota loved it and all the fuel it drank in the process.

Had an oil change and new chain and rear sprocket fitted at Ricardo Oro?s today ready for my trip down to Tavullia for a couple of days. The trip continues 😂😂👍
 
Hi, I was in Tavullia 2 weeks ago, did not meet Valentino  :( but made photos of his base, the big Graffiti of him in the center and saw the ranch- nobody was doing practice- so I went further down the boot to Umbria

Let?s just say I didn?t realise they would be quite as much. Maybe i?m Out of touch with prices. Any road up it pales into insignificance compared to the cost of the battery. ?200 with the postage. I literally have no money left to spend on this bloody bike.

After 2 years I finally took my Corsa for a real ride. I had done a restoration that took longer than it should mostly based on the painter taking forever. Then I moved houses  and some other craziness in life meant that I had only riden  ithe Corsa around the block a few times last summer just to make sure everything worked. In the meantime I had been riding  my  modern bikes but was missing that unique  Laverda feeling.

So off I went down the highway and it would  not pull high rpms.....above 4500 or so, it would barely increase revs. It would accelerate nicely and then just run out of power. Tried it a few times and same thing. As I am riding along .....thinking  what the hell did I mess up...air filter plugged ...timing off..old gas.. ..ahh no...just my brain....I must be getting old .....forgot that unlike my other bikes it was not a quarter pull throttle!! Did the old roll the throttle in your hand and grab another handful of throttle again and off we went building revs like the 120 triples do.

Had a good laugh at myself and learned a lesson.....don't ignore your Laverda or your brain may stop working.
 
Paid an outrageous sum of money for six exhaust gaskets from....... the last one!!!

Went to a local Ducati shop to buy a set of 43mm fork and dust seals for the upside down forks on the Wee Monster; was quoted Aud $192 per set. Thirty bucks from the nearest bearing shop.
