Hondas well represented at Laverda Concours. * & Others*
« on: August 11, 2012, 11:53:49 PM »
I went down to Cleveland Showgrounds for the Laverda Concours today. Of course there were others well represented, however the Hondas did it for me.
I joined my other club members at their display & had a great day. Ran into Dave500 & Mick Retro Rocket there too.

You can see a slideshow here.

Here's some pics of other machines on display. The public bike park was outstanding, I'd love to know the attendance figures. Check out the Y2K turbine bike. Wow  :o

 There is a huge Laverda dealer near here..he was riding near Calgary recently and had a center rod let go in a triple engine..ooouuuchhhh....   sucks to be 300 miles from home when that happens... think he had all the parts and its fixed already..
