Two Tropical Cyclones at the same time.
One going across the top of the Northern Territory,
the other ones a bit more nasty, hitting Qld.
Was a Level-5 (the scale only go's to 5!)
Now downgraded to a Level-4 cyclone.
Heading down the coast.
Made a REAL mess of the town Yeppoon.
Lots of houses destroyed.

We have had non-stop rain for two days,
I emptied a rain guage and the next time I walked past it, it said 40mm !

All my job sites are shut down and flooded.

Hopefully the Cyclone will fade out or run out of steam
before it hits Brisbane, the nearest city.

Well done Dave thumbs I think I'm up to 7 years now. No regrets.

Mrs has just done 7 weeks dry.
She isn't going tea total, just having a 3 month break
before trying to be a social occasional drinker.

235mm of rain over 3 days but you'd never know it being out riding today.
Roads were all pretty clean and dry, few clouds about but no rain at all.
Saw lots of bikes out enjoying the mountain roads.




Amongst the normal sea of Harley's, Cruisers, Sportsbikes and giant BMW trailies
I spotted a couple that stood out....

Not sure what model the Laverda was,
I'm not clue'd up on their twins.

Loved the old Kat, but I recon the TL1000S
with the radial front end and high bars would have
been hardest to catch around the mountains.

Should ave put my Dri-Rider mesh jacket on,
wore my leather and was pouring out sweat!

That Laverda looks like a 750 SFC with single seat conversion. Like you maybe, I could never see beyond the Jota when it came to Laverda, so not too good on the rest. Smile

I'd certainly know a Jota!

I met the guy who's idea the Jota was several times.
When I had my Harley, Motex the Harley dealership had one half of the building in Bomyard,
and the other half was used by Rodger Slater (The Laverda importer)
Rodger was the driving force behind the Jota.
Interesting bloke.

Montjuic has shorter fairing and different side panel decal, timing cover looks different too.



750 SF looks nearer the mark. Smile



The one in Tony's pic also has hydraulic front brake so may be a bit off piste, as it were. Anyway, hats off to the the guy who was riding it-in my book a proper classic.

PS later ones did have disc brake. Been reading them up a bit, sadass that I am. SFC had a zinc plated frame too.

No pay. Self employed.
24.5 hours last week, none so far this week.

Part of my job.
When I do work I go hard,
Four x 72 hour weeks back to back wasn't unusual,
neither is a few weeks between jobs.

I don't mind it now I'm used to it.

First day of Autumn, weathers a little cooler.
Few clouds about but only half a dozen spots of rain leaving the city this morning.

A lazy run down to Flutterbye Cafe down at Tyalgum, NSW.
A lazy round trip of 331k / 205 miles.
Nice breakfast / weather / roads / scenery, and home before midday.
