WILLERSEY Moto Laverda 75th Anniversary .

[Sir Sidney Ruffdiamond]

Yes it made people get their Laverdas fit and roadworthy and some came long distance - not many breakdowns either just a battery meltdown and a carb problem which could be expected - both the ones I knew about made it to and back from the event

Best bike there IMHO. Attitude in abundance. Rider is actually an arse, but the bike is fabulous

Hey Tony. When I saw the other purple 750, I thought (just for a split second) that you had had a rush of blood to the head and pimped the T-Twin up. I was disappointed for a moment, but realised all was good, when I saw the multi coloured tank down in the field.

P

I will have to respray and get the seat recovered on the Twin at some point Haggis, if for no other reason than to stop my wife from referring to it as Hotchpotch!

That other Purple SF did look good didn’t it. A really nicely sorted bike.

For the time being though my Twin will remain held together with Gaffer tape and Attitude.

Regards
T.

I picked up a wood screw in the centre of my front tyre but a can of Holts snake oil and the lend of Regalia Teds foot pump got me the 135 miles home . With help from the Shurminater.

I carry a spare tube on the SF, but it's more in hope than based in truth. Fact is, even in my garage, with very long tyre levers, lever clips and all the varied lubes on the shelf, I still find it an extreme effort to change a tyre (on any Breganze Lav). Out on the road, wearing leathers, kneeling at the side of a gritty road? Nah, not a chance.

Interesting thread this, I converted my Jota to tubeless many many moons ago (and will never go back), but never considered it for a spoker.

Was it you who asked me for a pump ?

 

[motoddrob]

I carry a menzel pump and plugs. So far fingers crossed haven't had to use it yet. Motodd runs tubeless, and my GS BM has tubeless spoke rims but the front tyre requires a tubed being a Pirelli MT21.

 

[Dellortoman]

What does Menzel pump look like? I googled it and only found massive industrial pumps and compressors.

 

[motoddrob]

It a fitting that screws into the spark plug hole so 1 cylinder works as a pump. It has a valve arrangement so it's not filling the tyre with fuel vapor.

I carry this little number set up just to plug straight into the battery like a battery tender. I see more modern ones seem to be a bit more sophisticated, even cordless rechargeable but this is a beauty and pumps plenty air out. I also carry screw together tyre irons but nowhere near as good as using the big ones at home!
