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

never mind the health or the leathers just think of the power to weight ratio.
a few years ago I was 135 kilo's (2012) a few years later I was 85 kilo's and BLOODY HELL did I notice the performance boost! I kept thinking TOG was going so well she is bound to blow up soon, which very often happens.
currently 108 kilo's and trying hard again, which makes my moody, depressed, lethargic miserable, short tempered, and probably unappealing to ladies, but hey ho onwards and upwards.

It has been a while since I weighded (sic) myself.

Currently 62 kags which is 3 kags more than when all my hair were chopped off in Breganze.

Wowza! Those are seriously low figures OTB - I can see where you got your moniker! I like the bit about Bangladesh!

Last time I did this I was apparently Eritrean, the one below was Biafra. I don't know what has happened to Biafra but Bangladesh is currently at the bottom of the shit heap.

The happy index is rather different ;)

The OneThinBloke identity is of my own making...

25 or so years ago there was a UK cookery series on the TV, "Two Fat Ladies". They were very popular...

However, as with all these things there is precious guidance in how to, and more importantly, why? Cooking is a blend of art and science...

I thought to meself: "I'm every bit as good as they is." ...

"Tell you what, I'll write a "How to Cook Book" and I call it..."

I have yet to write the book but I did designs for the cover and the hardback cover was to feature a full length portrait of "One Thin Bloke" on the spine.

Our Ron and Scott are very similar builds to me.

An old mate sketched this...

I could help you write it but we would have to change the name to ?one thin bloke and a short little fat cnt?

I?m pretty sure you could shorten that considerably without losing much of the meaning... :-*
 
Today was a good day....

Brett turned up with my 3c motor having just driven down from Queensland where he and Red rebuilt it in between working on the race bikes and all the other Laverda stuff Red does.
Brett was here at about 1.30  and by 5 we had her running again, was a great feeling to have her back and singing that 180 song once again.
Everything thing went pretty smoothly, there were  no breaks for sustenance, "we will eat when we're done" Brett kept saying.
Words cant describe how good it is to have that 3c sorted again,
and cant thank Red and Brett enough, totally outstanding, For Red to slot that in and get it sorted so quickly was amazing. Thanks Red, awesome!
I think Brett just likes Road trips but to do that is way beyond  :D
Oh and also fitted up a new set of Malcom Coxs header pipes, fitted up just fine and look the goods :D
Here are some pics.

3C looks a hell of a lot happier than last time I saw it, parked up at the side of the A38 with a 'fucked' banner hanging over it :-X
Times like that, you soon find out who your mates are, so top Mark's to Red and Brett, as always.
Nice one TC :D
 
Hello Tom, that's good to hear, I'm happy for you!!  And I also like your workshop a lot
- something like that is missing here at my place in Cologne ...
