Someone’s going to have a sleepless night now!
What did you do to or for or with your Laverda today?

Hi Jon
No case hardening on the encapsulated under-bucket shims, just made of a tough material. They merely act a a variable thickness spacer and don't get any significant rubbing motion, mainly just compression forces. The buckets do all the hard work, both rubbing against the cam and sliding+turning in the head pocket, whilst they do the axial alignment and bounce up and down like a teenagers right wrist.

Nah André, that's stable! And if something goes wrong, my 3c goes into "flying carpet" mode ...

Fairly standard front stand
Got 250 miles on the Jota as part of a shakedown for Breganze. I'm gaining confidence the bike will make it, but not so much faith in the overweight organic blob sitting on the saddle. Clutch hand and upper back are knackered! Jane came along on her V-Strom and didn't break a sweat.
Bike needs a fresh cam cover gasket (which it won't get) and I could do with a massage (which I won't get)

New tires on the Formula and checked the regulator/rectifire as it seems to drain the battery over time; funny enough, everything seems to be within specs (while the Ohm-test showed relatively low results on the alternator, just 0,2 Ohm; but no shortage between the two). Not sure where it is loosing voltage, but after roughly 100km, the turn signals go much slower than with a fresh battery... maybe I need to replace the front lights and the tail-light with LED's...?
Also fixed the brake issue on the 1000 SFC, has decent rear brake now (even if it's not blocking, but it's definitely much improved - see other thread; might have to brake-in the new brake-pads... Only done roughly 10 brakings from 40 down to 10km/h up and down the street).

Out into French Flanders to celebrate the emperor Vespasian, inventor of the urinal which no motorcyclist could do without.
Work on the rear of the bike, all the wheel and sprocket carrier bearings, new chain and tyre properly tested. Ready for this summer's touring.
I was followed by a friend on a Rudge Ulster. Those things can move. He doesn't hook up into fourth until 90-100 km/h.

I guess someone had to take credit for inventing the Piss Trough.

Who mentioned urinals........................
Two priest's were taking a piss in the urinals one day and the one priest looks down and see's a nicotine patch on the other guy's penis.
He says "I'm not a doctor or anything, but, isn't that supposed to be on your arm?"
And the other priest goes "Nah, it's working fine. I’m down to two butts a day"!

All we are saying, is give piss a chance
