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

[piranha-bro2]

First few runs on the new rolling machine ... a variety of internal taper profiles for the baffles in the twin system to come out of the SFQ custom workshop - too easy!!

 

[T.C]

Rode down to Kangaroo point with a few of the lads
SO many bikes out, was unbelievable, large crowd gathered round our bikes when we went to leave, however they weren't looking at ours they were checking out the WW 2 BMW with sidecar, 1942 now that was impressive.

Tom what was the attraction for a ride there, seems like suburbia. Good meal?

 

[martymoose]

Still haven?t found a better bacon and egg roll vince, but I will diligently keep trying......

I googled Kangaroo Point and it came up as near Silvania. Not up The Old Rd near Brookland, that why I asked. Couldnt see the point of waiding through Sunday traffic to bloody Silvania.

The other kangaroo point

Went for a ride both days this weekend, gave the Jota a good thrashing and then parked it up and took the rear wheel out in order to get some new tyres fitted. The Bridgestone T31?s were faultless for my euro trip last year and having covered 15000 k?s its time foR them to go.Ive had a pair of Conti race attack?s destined for the race bike but will put them on the Jota as they?ve been hiding away in the dark for 3 years so might as well have some fun with them on the Jota.

Excellent feedback on those T31s, Tom. And excellent mileage.

Monthly meet back on North Somerset coast,, good ten folk, great weather too.

I am on my second set of T31 Bridgestones, they do a 140 that's close enough to an ok fit on the 3.00 rear rims on both my Pantah and 3C.They do exactly what I want in a tyre,fit check pressures and ride.No wield wear issues no slides. Tested in the worst weather I have ridden in on the last Tassie ride and passed with flying colours

When you're on a good thing ... !!

It only took 2 years of fairly constant ringing up the distributer in Queensland to finaly get them to import the 140 tyres from Japan. Nice bloke, ex Laverda owner. Seems he would order them and the factory would deliver what they liked. At the time, pre Conti Attacks. These Bridgewstones were the only radial avalable in a size less than 150.

Shaun, that place looks familiar , sticks in my memory as a great ride that day with great company

Popped down to The Huntsman. Five laverdas, ten owners, this evening.

Purchased a new front hub for 880SFCK. I will be changing the wheels to 18? jobs in the near future.

Here?s the plan:
Spine frame, almost finished fixing the fuck ups
SF swingarm
41mm forks
18? hoops
And considering orange paint over the ?naff? carbon fibre.

You altering your geometry? What sort of 41 millers? Why the 18s (just out of interest)?

Nice idea, the orange ... use the carbon for highlights with the orange - will look great.
