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

[hooksey]

Bumma, hope you mend well and quickly Paul.

All the best, Dave.

Paul,
Can't believe you have been in an accident again!
Wish you speedy recovery, get well soon.

Bad scene, Paul! Hope the surgery goes well and wish you a speedy return to your beasts.

 

[chris78jota]

Sorry to hear about your mishap Paul. Wishing you a speedy recovery sustained by black beer

 

[Laverdalothar]

Oh man - sorry to hear about your bad luck, hope you recover fully soon!!

 

[CLEMTOG]

sorry to report Chris78jota bu Paul is both teetotal and a non smoker, he indulged in the past, but that was a long time ago, thank goodness, his pipe was about 1.5kilowatt and should have been harnessed to a generator. he has had surgery and is home (so is his bike) and getting better, who wouldnt if YOU had a Corrine to look after you, they are in very high demand and short supply.

Today I rode my '78 1200 away from my house and back to it, three times! This is a very happy day for me as the previous two times I’ve ridden it away from my house its come back on a trailer.
Many, many, many thanks to Andy Bartlett for sorting the carbs and ignition out, and generally fettling it into a reliable, running bike.
Now it’s time to start tidying it up

Nice work! I hope you learned a lot from the experience, my Lav has taught me a lot about carbs that I never thought I needed to know, particularly the need to keep fettling

Helicopter Jim's Formula Mirage gets a gallop up the road. A few little things left to do; turn signals, side decals, badges

And I thought we had the worst motorists.....Glad you're relatively ok.

 

[jko_78]

Take care & get well soon Paul!

Just been spinning my wheels this afternoon.

Not entirely happy with the results but it netted 70.5hp and 52ish tq at the rear wheel. Stock Carbs, Stock Jetting, Stock Ignition. Carbs need to be sorted and cleaned over the winter, new plugs and likely a new ignition.

I gotta at least pull my Dad's S2 Mille. (77hp/62tq)

Did the all gear pull to check the main was happy...... Getting a clean ignition input for rpm (torque) is challenging.

We were only spinning it up to 7k rpm...... I'm going to work out some pistons speeds this eve.

Cheers

@Paul Marx Thankfully it wasn't worse! Heal quickly, good thing you're young!

I took my bike to Manston Airfield a couple of weeks ago, while the motor is fresh. Didny set the world alight, consistent qtr mile times of 11.7 which is 0.7 secs slower than my best. I'll have to wait for a tail wind .

This weekend I was at Cadwell Park trackday. The bike is much better at this stuff. I paid for instruction which I will do again, the value against cost can't be beaten.

 

[piranha-bro2]

Nice! Ridden in real anger!

Nice! Ridden in real anger!

The only way to get noticed, apart from blowing it up or crashing

 

[Andy J]

I shall look forward to seeing you and the bike at the 'PK' 50th anni bash at Donington next year - details to follow soon.

Sounds exciting Andy.

Just took the Motodd for a fast fang along my test track and back.
Running really well.
Both the bike and myself needed that!!
