Bike has sold. Somebody got a gem.

I'll never look at a Beemer again...

@audiomickLooks like the fairing in your second link has an additional piece attached...maybe for additional deflection. Look at the pic where the bike is next to the van. It is pretty evident there. Those Italians have some different ideas on staging in their ads. I look at those pics and want to scream for someone to get this damn bike out of the way. Also the description "if looks could kill the Laverda would be a mass murderer" could have been rethought a bit. On that same vein though, it looks killer in red.

A bit more refined than the Jota, according to the article. It's a bike that I always loved the look of. But back in those years, Ducatis won out. https://magazine.cycleworld.com/article/1984/10/1/laverda-rgs1000-corsa

Came up for sale in PDX today. Older Italian beauty. 14,000 miles.

It has a Midnight Diner feel to it, but in the daytime. I really enjoyed my two weeks in Japan in winter 2019. So many interesting places to eat, inside of course because of the season. This reminded me of that trip. I want to go back in spring or summer... maybe to eat there?

Silicone spray is great, just don't get it on your fingers...everything is slippery then. I use Windex for those quick little push to seat stuff.

Two that have left us way too soon. What could have been.

I checked with them today since I need one too. They are no longer available. So it is back to getting it recovered. Too bad, my daughter lives in Austin and could throw it in overhead when she comes home to visit. Good conversation starter.
