nice one, but a) how can you transport a freshly restored bike in winter without covering it right from the start and b) then even ride it while there`s most likely gravel and salt on the road ? :roll:

I have a friend doing up his 74 mk2a now. It took more than a few rides on the 907 to get him motivated. Few more weekends and it will be ready to ride :thumbup: Been 15 years since it last breathed the air :banghead:

I agree. That's a great bike.
But, unfortunately... I love too much bikes.... (Ducati 916 & 888, MV F4 & Brutale, most of Laverdas as SF, SFC, 1000 etc., many Guzzis....).
We can't have got all we desire.... :,( :,( :,( :,( :,( :,( :,( :,(

Had a shot at a Jota this time last year. Guy wanted 7k,I hesitated cuz it had some parts from a special,by the time i decided I could get the proper parts it was off to Australia like most of the Laverda's offered up for sale these days. You Aussies really need to learn to share :beer: :beer: :beer: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
