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

[Andy J]

After a change of plan - i.e. no trip away to Atlas Rally in Belgium or to Baskers - I decided to mark the '70th Anniversary' on my '60th' with a rally of my own. So out came a selection of different bikes and off I went for a ride on a number of different routes. F**king 'ell the 500 is LOUD and hard. I am now resting my hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, bum and back!

Well work this out, I just noticed one of my Stagg Horns has disappeared of a tree trunk in my backyard....... and it?s not on the ground  WTF?

Pretty simple, CK. People like them and steal them - guaranteed to be on someone else's tree right now.

Can't believe you talked about horticulture and not one mention of Scrumpy's bike's RH pillion peg being angled too far forward??!! Your OCD waning since hanging out with the BFN club?  :-*

Arrgh! My eyes!  I'd all but forgotten about that Yellow Peril, but then you had to go and refresh the traumatic memory 

Now, where did I put the Valium?

Ya reckon I didn't notice the angle? It suits the rusty rear pegs and swingarm bolt.

FFS - I am going to get my hammer out, trash the verbena and straighten up the footrest.

Or he?ll hit the left one forward to match the right.

What about the gear lever? That needs a wallop too...?.

Depends on how big your feet are!

 

[piranha-bro2]

I always angled the pillion pegs rearward.

 

[Tippie]

Line them up vertical, use a spirit level.

 

[alan james]

Half the Tommy bar is missing on the front axle and it's at the wrong angle.

 

[Scrumpy]

It's where I hit it with the previously mentioned hammer!

You got no switch-blocks or grips on your bars Marty.

 

[martymoose]

New throttle cable installed, new carby springs, 300 mm Sfc floating discs and brembo 4 spots. Upgraded master cylinder maybe, it is fitted on the guzzi at the moment
