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

[Andy J]

After years of hearing the exact mileage people were getting from tyres I now add the speedo reading and purchase date of new rubber to my calendar, keeping fuel usage and cost over the year, Naa that's a bridge tole too far for me. Tole costs, that would be interesting.

I sort of keep a record of expenditure on my various bikes, but as half of them don't have a working speedo/milometer fitted it's a bit awkward to work out how far they have traveled and therefore the cost per mile...

I only calculate pleasure per mile. Enjoy riding your Laverdas in 2024!

Hmmmmm

Looks like it sucked in a little too much air after gasket blew? Close to holed, but no Noddy Badge.

No holed piston, but I do foresee a crankshaft delivery job to Camira for you.......

Rip it out, I’m unloading just around the corner on the 15th

Some hours in my workshop! Over the winter the princess will get an engine service, oil change, new generator belt, newly painted wheels, new wheel bearings, new tires. And I get some coffees ...

Ciao, Gert

Looking a lot like the left piston in the SFQ Marty. No sign of heat underneath on mine but clearly leaned out at the Island. Can’t post pics with a dodgy phone cnxn down at the beach shack.
I haven’t ruled out an issue with the TCI-P4. The software in both units I bought at the same time refuses to do what it’s supposed to. Namely, correct a diff between advance between outputs, so blown cylinder was running 2-3 degrees retarded cw the happy one. I also discovered I had slightly lower float level in my FCRs for that cylinder as well. Throw in fuel surge from low level in the tank and I get a perfect storm. Everything else inside looks fantastic.

I've been going thru my 74 750 and addressing a few things and waiting on parts. Relocated the battery strap so no more 2x4 wedged in place. This Forum has been extremely helpful in answering my many questions

 

[martymoose]

Mine took a lot longer than a run around Phillip island to go wrong. About 32 years, but still, lessons we learn....

 

[chrisk]

Got a wooden box for it?

 

[martymoose]

Hard plastic tool box, foam inserts, strapped up.

 

[Andy]

I’d insist that it travels in the passenger seat with a belt on

1080 sorts any problematic dogs out!!!!

Fair go Rob that's a bit harsh. This is the latest addition to our pack, 2 years old, a rescue, German Sheperd mix small at 16kg . A great dog I feel like I won the lottery with this one, 'Peach'. On the topic of Laverda, I now have all the parts to convert the 1200 to right foot shift.

Strapped down yes, but in the trailer

Today the last ride off the year.
The Dutch “dijken” where today more than only an beautiful roadtrack…..

Took the dog for a walk on the lake. This ice ridge is about 2 meters high and 2km long. Returned to the garage and plugged in my battery tender...seems it will be awhile before the RGS sees the road again.
