K11 Owners Group

There's more tools. Sorry about the references to people you don't know, written up for the Laverda club of course, you need to know your Laverda back to front to do these rides, mind you we did nearly 2500ks in 3 days to a race meet in Sydney where a highly modified Laverda 750 (bored and stroked to 917cc) won a clean sweep of it's races against othe 70's and 80's jap and iti iron. There was even an R100 in there....

Anyway to the story as written for the Laverdisti.


I don't have any pics of repairing Levos electrics as I was doing the work dammit, I think others did though. Things happened that night at Walcha which definitely come under the what happens on tour stays on tour banner, suffice to say Virgil earned himself 'legend of the ride" award and he wasn't even riding...... Best not to publish it here I think hahaha:)

So in the morning there was more red than Red would be happy about, seriously you 180 riders carry on about 120s being gay but where the fuck were you???? Oh that's right, flying down in planes, sorry I forgot.... ;D ;D ;D



Repair #2 Cosi was oiling his chain and noticed this small problem with the back disk Holy crap, and you were going how fast with it like this Cosi???



Moose figures he'd better check his too!



Straight to the pool room.....



Hhhmmm, pretty sure there's light there where there shouldn't be! Three spokes cracked as well.



Gone with the wind?



Repair #3 We get nearly a kilometer when Cosi realises the fairing mounting bolt is broken. Fortunately he has a spare. We all carry one of them don't we



Repair #4 This is voted a new repair as he actually managed to get 75mm before realising that one of the spark plug leads had been bumped off.



Repair #5 I never did find out what this one was fixing as all they could say was 'would you fuck off with that fucking camera..." ;D ;D

Well I guess they got their own back when my starter motor shit itself. I wouldn't hear of trying to fix it so bump started for the rest of the weekend. Fortunately I found enough servos on the way home that had a slope to start the old girl. There's no way I was going to risk anyone taking a photo of me fixing argy....



The camp and marquee.



Blah blah blah bullshit bullshit bullshit......



Steve doesn't always look confused .....



Red finally finds a use for an RGS and it's owner, one to lean on the other to crap on to....



That's a lot of header pipes! The chrome platers must have rubbed their hands together with glee when the CBXs were released...

Each year we hold a Club Laverda QLD Concours, we raise money for the Starlight Foundation, a group that takes terminally ill cancer kids on trips or something special they may want to do.

We've donated 45k to them in the last 6 years. So here's some pics from this years last month, I think we had about 5000 people there, 183 entries in the concours, 25 cops thanks to the recent rash of bikie warfare here and lots of happy people! The club goes on a ride and pissup to celebrate the hard work afterwards so it's not all just hard work. Anyway to some pics. My RGS is in there somewhere.

NOTE THE DIABOLICAL WINTER WEATHER !!!:-

Others will probably disagree, but the Laverda's lines are CLASSIC.

Great looking bikes.

The Germans make some pretty stout machines (at least the older bikes) but Italy knows how to make excellent looking ones.

I just have to go down to our garage and compare the K100RS to our son's Ducati SS. The BMW looks like Helga the workhorse while the Supersport looks like a thoroughbred.

Fortunately (so far) the Ducati has been as reliable as the BMW.

Guess a 5 year old Duc has a reliability advantage over 30+ year old Laverdas.

Thanks for the pictures, drikko
