umm... a lavarda whooped my ass a few weeks back on the snake pass while i was on my speed triple.. sounded like a bag of loud spanners,, but it didnt half go ok when he opened it up..
I got divorced over my Jota! 1979 series2 180, in orange, silver frame. God I wish I still had it. Handled like a raped ape and would spin the back tyre all the way to fifth (about 110mph). A truly evil,beautiful, uncompromising bike, oh yes very loud too. The bike in the ad is a last model RGA Jota, nice but soft and civilised
I had one of those but the 600 version. one of the worst handling bikes ive ever owned. Absolutely did not want to go round corners and the clutch needed 2 hands when it got hot. On the plus side it had a 2 into 1 straight through pipe which made a great noise. Sold it and bought a brand new GSXR750L

I've got a good idea who that may be. He doesn't hang about on his Electra-Glide either!

by the time i got to glossop... he was parked up and in the pub getting a drink.. there was a guy on a brand new 1 liter fireblade ide been talking to and he also whooped me.. as he would as i was only on my speed trip.. and at the other end of the snake pass he was shaking his head as he just couldnt catch the lavarda..
Saw a shed load of Laverda's of different ages out on a run a few weeks back, turns out it was an International Laverda Owners Club Event, and they were all out for a bimble around the Highlands.
Nice bikes, and nice to see them being actually ridden.
