Very nice Tony - you got her back on the road, or just wheeled out for a dust off?

Wheeled out for its final once over mate. She's going

I'm not sure I could part with something as nice as that. Have you got plans?

It is a shame, but it doesn't get ridden. All part of the thinning out that will be happening over the next few months. The boss has plans....

Is the Italian going too?

Good luck with the sale. Right colours and values probably peaking - lovely looking bike. I look forward to hearing the plans. Endurance racer perchance...? Any plans with the Lav post clear out?

Mitzy has had a sensible offer. I'm sure we could achieve more if we were prepared to hold fast, but selling now puts her in a stronger position for her part of the plans. In summary, we are getting rid of 5 and replacing with 2

The Laverda isn't going anywhere at the foreseeable future. It gets turned over every now and again, but time isn't on my side. Maybe thinning out will afford me the time to spend on it, it'll certainly free up some much needed room

Duggan this may be coincidence but is that your fiat 500 and did you ride down to the Le Mans classic this year as took this pic on the camp site whilst having a walk round.

Great photo! That was my bike (+ Mrs Duggan in her Abarth) - thanks

I adore them but I am just not brave enough to put my coin into one.

[smack]

I need to move some stuff, and take junk down to the dump, so a 6 litre V8 powered Ute was borrowed for a few days







And I couldn't resist the urge for a bit of fun - it was what they are made for!

Oops- had a moment and did this.
Would a clutch cover sort it or do I need a new case?
Just asking opinions as a cover is loads less than a new casing?


Thanks in advance for any help.

Hard to say, your brake lever looks bent as well.

you probably could just get away with new casings and gaskets. But they aren't cheap.

shows you what you need.

See your fairing has a bit damage depends how clean you want it. Might be fine as it is just check for seepage

Is that a crack I can see next to the clutch operating mechanism? If it is then a decorative cover isn't going to fix it. You may be able to get it welded.

[dannyintenerife]

Thanks for the replies.
Yes, it's cracked and when running it leaks - will see about welding it possibly.

Schwantz & Chilli there too. Plus behind Lawson I think Baldwin & the FM helmet at the rear possibly Terry Rymer?

I'm guessing 1991 - should have Gardner & Haslam on the grid too.

What happened more to the point?

[dannyintenerife]

First gear wheelies Sunday morning, car park, industrial estate.
Slippy surface came up too much and veered left as it was veering right I came off the back.

tt!

All happened very quickly - will stick to 2nd gear in future!
