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

Lucky you Ian.  I managed to arrange a ride day, I pulled 880SFC out from under its cover, geared up, fired it up, about to put helmet on ....  ??? Smoke!

Shut it down, look where smoke is coming from, oil leaking from neutral switch straight onto the 2/1.

Piss poor excuse CK.... that intercontinental ride has really broken you  :LOL:
 
finished fitting a Duc 748 clutch master cylinder to TOG. Very pleased with the result, perfectly usable weight to the action, a bit lighter than the previously used 80s/90s Triumph item, moved all switch gear and both master cylinders in by 20mm, will ride it like that and if OK, will then lop off the ends of the new handlebars not happy about having to cut the closed ends off the rubber grips to achieve this, but that is the cost that I must pay, because even 10mm off the ends changes the fell of the whole plot and I aint cutting anything off until I am 100% sure its where I want to be.

Got that right. There was a time I'd pull the pipes off and have a look to see what was going on, on the spot.
But I'm getting tired of laying on the ground ......... Team BFN started it.

I do that to every set of grips I buy. All of my bikes have either bar-end mirrors or plugs that stick out beyond the end of the grips.

I don't like open ended (un-plugged) handlebars after a mate had one take a core sample of flesh out of him during a crash. Bloody thing was like a wad cutter.

Bars must have closed ends for racing.

I, had :(, a mate that had his open ended bar impale his chest when he crashed into a car. 
 
Now on historic reg, some small jobs this afternoon before it fired up nice and easy after quite a long time standing, just needs a new battery and the 3C is back on the road.





 
Verbena it is. I purposefully leave it alone as I quite like it. Must be quite tough as it has been there for 5 years and is slowly spreading.
 
Actually semi tender to frost, but much more protected in urban areas,poor soil and hot, so a concrete crack is excellent for it. Thread hi Jack? :D :D
