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

It depends on how badly and how it is broken. They do a lot more plating these days so you don't end up like lumps, I have done both collarbones and it is easy to see. Physio is very important asap after they knit.
 
I don't mind a galop once in every 10 years, but they're a bit higher than most bikes to fall off and having their own brain can be an issue.
 
Just goes to show how easy something goes from nice ride out ,to , shit day out , and being in hospital before you even know it , take care , mend safely ,
 
Spent a short time starting to clean the little Dellorto I've just got for the little Laverda.

There's normally a domed button on top if the tickler - I like this addition that the previous owner has grafted on.

It has a centre primer, so definitely not a .22 which is rimfire.

If the bullet casing has been glued or pressed over the original tickler knob, and that centre bit is the original primer, then it hasn't been fired. It might still have the igniter chemicals in it. Don't hit it with anything!
 
Had to firm up the front suspension on my Ducati Monster and needed a few spacers 15mm long and 40mm wide. hunted around the shed and found some old steering head bearings off the Yellow Peril, the inner races were a perfect fit and could have been made for the job.
That justifies the ?What I did to my Laverda today? entry.
 
Finally got my four months in the wait paint work for the GTL , He's good but uck me he's Slow , never mind its here now ,
 
After a late start to the day, I got my frame up on the  mobile work bench, to start dry fitting things. Tomorrow I hope to get the fairing in the right place with holes drilled, then I can get the bracket for the  marchal lights fitted as well. A friend of mine is having some paintwork done by some painters  in our industry  that I really rate , so he said I should get the guys to paint the fairing , seat unit , guards and tank etc in when his work gets done, so I have a bit of a deadline to meet there, everything needs to have been fitted first.
I also ordered pretty much all the fasteners I need as well, with 8.8 bzp where they need to be, and  stainless for everywhere else. Im going to be starting fresh, building my own wiring loom for the moto gadget gear I have for this bike. I love the moto gadget system, I used it on another of my bikes and it worked out really well. I will try to hide as much wiring as I can, and where it will be seen, it will be eye catching in a good way. Its not going to be a show bike,  but I will make everything as perfect as I can. Today was a really fun day!

You sure that's not an operating theatre?! Spotless. I saw THE RAT in mine this morning, and the dog heard the other. That's what MY workshop is like!

Systematically clearing and cleaning and I will eventually find where the fukken rodents live!! And kill them! The Ratsak doesn't seem to be working ...

Have fun building that beast. Looks like a fun project.
