Just bought this from LA, should get it to OZ in time for xmas Smile

Can you call 2 bikes a collection?

The high res pictures show it to be immaculate! Real life may be different, I hope not!

Now do I keep the K or not. It's OK you don't have to answer I know what you will say... Smile

Drikko,

I just drooled into my keyboard. Embarassed

NICE BIKE!!!!

I remember seeing Laverdas at a dealers showroom back in the late 70's (I think? Maybe early 80's).
Design looks just as good today and from the pictures appears to be in very good condition.

Best of luck with the newest addition to your collection. It will be worth the wait!

And we expect a full ride report after your first outing. Very Happy

John

The extenders were originally part of the RGS Executive spec. along with colour matched panniers. They do make quite a difference to hand comfort on a long run in cool weather, and I retrofitted a set to my RGS when I had it.

They (the extenders) are rare as hens teeth. Shame it's lost the original mirrors though. Great long distance tourer, and if those are Jota pipes fitted, it will sound LOUD (but fantastic!). I used to shut mine down and freewheel to the drive late at night to keep the neighbours off my back.

Enjoy!
