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

Couldn't get any work done today - the house and the workshop were shaking too much. Bit of an earthquake (5.8 magnitude) in Melbourne today, epicentre about 150km east, felt in Sydney and Adelaide. Cracking and banging sound that got louder and louder, shaking the house. Initially I just couldn't work out what the bloody noise was - thought a chopper was crashing overhead with a blade missing! It was way out of the ordinary, so quickly realised it was a quake. Luckily no injuries or otherwise as yet reported - nothing as extreme as the Christchurch one.
Some lockdown adrenaline!
 
I was 20ks north of Newcastle when that one happened, it took maybe 5 seconds to register on my brain what it was, we were on the bottom floor of a 2 story holiday unit block and rushed out into the open. Not comfortable having a concrete ceiling above you when that happens. Looks like it took a few parapet walls out in Melbourne, that killed a few in Newcastle back then.

Glad everyone’s ok. I saw the photos, falling masonry is really scary
 
a small win maybe .. after 2 years of chasing PO problems, this one being the easy pull clutch, because the geometry was out (not enough clutch movement) a quick fix to see if this works as is. Maybe cut and weld the arm in winter.

So you just fitted the nipple holder to a lower hole? My DAM lever came with two - i cut the top section off and only use the lower hole. Your cable angle also looks high - so the bracket for the adjuster must be longer than mine. Does it all work OK now?
 
The angle of dangle on the foot brake lever is very steep. Is it usable like that?

PS can we see a photo from front on please?
