who rides their Laverda to work

Note the ballest over the rear wheel and the over hang , Jim , any one can do that , slight advantange i do belive , i plaster while still on the bike though , bet she has to stop and unload , 😉👍🏻😜
 
Pretty much all my work (if any) now done at home, so not me :(
Luckily however had some essential travel to do last week. A Doc appt in Townsville, 260 odd Kms away.
Did the environmentally correct thing and left the large 4 wheeler at home and took the Lav :D
Straight up and back, still a fair bit of traffic about, although noticeably (& expectedly) missing up here at this time of year were the caravans and campervans!
A nice quick run of about 530kms did wonders for the temperament :D (when you can't go anywhere!)
 
Holy Cow , i can not believe , the distances that you just wrote about , too see a doctors appointment , mind boggerling , that like me going from Manchester to wiltshire and back to see a quack , of its head that is , 😳

A specialist!! Few and far between in small towns in regional Qld ;)
Actually these days (I think) there is a specialist of this persuasion a bit closer (Mackay) so only about 120ks each way but I've been seeing this bloke for a while...............
 
Goes to show how long legged the Laverdas are in I guess quite hot weather - as long as you are moving ! To consider a journey like that here is a challenge with our road network and the dumpkoffs who drive cars !!
 
I used to have an old Triumph Bonneville with one of those luggage racks on the tank. I was a little worried about what the rack might do to my "organs of matrimonial necessity" (a quote from Stephen Fry) in the event of a crash.
 
Quite true ,  scrotal decapitation , road safety  abolished racks first ,then reduced the height of fuel caps ,then sunk fuel caps into the fuel tank so it was flat , so when in a slow speed accident,  this damage wasnt caused to the rider any more , as the first  thing that happens is you slide up the tank , learnt that on a speed awareness course , from the police instructor , he had no balls , (just kidding ) but the info is true ,
Always wondered why they did away with them ,
 
Rode my formula 750 to work after its first ever MOT  on a 1999 bike. Riding home after a 12 hour shift I came to a halt on the M4 motorway.
Not the best time to discover the fuel warning light isn't working
