We rescued a bike that had gone off a steep switchback (rider ok) which goes some way to explaining why we only averaged 20 mph on the 5 country day trip. We also took time to enjoy, take pics, eat and chat. Bonus: Saw this amazing 30 year old Laverda 650. #motosky #laverda #motorcycle #motorbike

Given that Laverda model had a propensity for blowing its engine to smithereens, it is amazing that you saw one on the road. When it was originally released, I tested it in my role as a bike journo - but the press loaner they gave me blew up just 50 miles after I collected it 💥

The owner told me it had a bigger engine in it. I believe he said it was 80hp and 750cc. I can't remember the details though. Apparently he's on IG but I don't know where!
