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

I've never dared to travel to UK because they drive on the wrong side of the road, the roads are not only smeared with oil but also constantly wet from rain, the beer is black and warm, you can't get any good food and they still finance a king like in the Middle Ages. :rolleyes:
Ciao, Gert

I know, it's scary!
 
"I have a few new ones in factory wrapping."

I know where they came from since I was present at the time that ownership passed to Marxy, I can confirm that these items will be genuine ex Breganze factory spare parts.

Game over.
I was enjoying myself no end, but in a small village, a car didn't look properly at a blind crossroads and didn't stop when I came, slowly. I had priority, coming from his right.
I was knocked over. I thought that I didn't have any thing but when I took my left hand glove off, lots of blood and the end of my little finger hanging on by some skin.
Open fracture of the finger, no doubt due to it being hit against the clutch lever by the bull bar. The lever was bent though the bike fell to the right.
Bull bars are illegal in France for obvious reasons.
Day surgery the next day to close up the finger and attach the tip.
Not too much damage to the bike luckily but a few riding days missed.

Someone needs a public flogging. Famios saying, Sorry, I didnt see you. BTW, a long time back, when Barry Sheene was doing motorcycle racing reporting on Oz TV, he did a story about Bike racers missing little fingers. There was a bunch apparent, Typical Barry comment at the end of the story, which was how it made washing his face hard to do.
 
Glad your ok....sometimes even a slow speed incident can cause more damage, especially to us old guys.

I see your phone stayed on its mount but suspicious your finger was hurt...you weren't texting while riding I hope🤔
 
Sorry to hear about that Paul, but luckily it sounds like you and the bike got off relatively lightly. However, as you are well aware it’s all the hassle of dealing with the aftermath that is equally a right PITA. I’ve still got to conclude the insurance claim from when I was run off the road a year ago, and that’s likely to drag on for a fair while yet.
Anyway, I hope you’re fit and well soon and back in the saddle shortly.
