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

A fine day's riding yesterday, only to arrive and find that the battery on the SF2 was flat and the charge light staying on. I hadn't seen it due to my smart phone support. Our host for the next few days is a motorcyclist so the loan of a voltmeter seemed to point to a dead dynamo. The loan of a battery charger allowed me to ride up to the track this morning. Up there, I found a merchant who had a charger for sale. So the trip will continue. With points ignition and LED lights, riding all day and charging over night should be okay. To make sure, I'll see if I can find a spare battery, just in case.

Charging problem on the SF2 cured. The dynamo drive belt is very loose but engine running, the dynamo is driven, but not enough obviously. I had presumed that the dynamo was dead. To be sure though, I wrapped some insulating tape around the dynamo pulley. Bingo, we have one charging 750.
An enjoyable weekend with friends at the track though the variety of bikes has gone down hill. A lot of modern Ducatis.

I'll wait until I get home Clem.
No power transmission places where we ride.
Unless churches qualify for power transmission?
