Laverda is great looking bike, I've got this Benelli with triple engine which was designed by Laverda but they went under before is was used so Benelli took it on.

Those Benelli's sound good too 8)
I didn't know that about the engines,

Rode it for the first time this year.
Still a bit on the chilly side, the roads are still covered with crap and filling up the tank with fresh fuel nearly broke me :eek2
But what a fantastic way to spend a friday afternoon :thumbup:

Took The Murvinator out for a spin.

Met up with Jonesey & his Panservagon for a bit of breakie & so he could get hold of me tool... 8O

Loan of a fork driver, not that tool silly... :lol:

Nearly got taken out whilst filttering in a que of traffic at a set of temp lights for some road works.

A car coming out of a side turning masked by a panel van.

Got caught on the can which just bent the strap/clamp slightly, pushing the can in a bit.

I had a late swerve & didn't feel any impact... Could have been worse. :lol:

What was the reason for the fail?
i got a really grumpy tester who failed it because it has a GPS digi speedo. He had a rotten attitude from the start and made sure he went into the rule book enough to get me on something, the very same speedo the bikes always had.

but anyhow brought it back up and they had no interest other than asking me about the bike and could i start it and give it a mitt full so they could hear it. :lol: :lol:

and it passed so another year on the road :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
the older i get,the faster i was :lol:
