Here's some Laverdas... ah ha, I got the 750 partly wrong, it is the SFC, but was never a triple - just a race tuned twin (that's engine was rumoured to be partially based off the Honda CF(?)450 Black Bomber); the triple was the 1000cc.

Definitely not a Laverda, but I think the engine sounds would even make Jeremy Clarkson happy (if he was honest). ...skip the timer to 1:16 for the 1st vid and adjust the sound /or bass as you want muhuahaha.

I should be going to the Motorcyle Museum Wednesday now, finally got some time off work! I'll start a picture thread I think, I'm very much into my museums, historic buildings etc so somewhere to dump stuff that may be of interest

Probably a little boring, but here's me in Snowdonia trying out my GoPro, loved the scenery I'm heading alongside the Ogwen Valley, the mountain at 3:10 on the left is Tryfan - possibly the best climbing/mountaineering you can do in Snowdonia along with Crib Goch.

Something more exciting, noise-wise anyway!

The bike I actually have is a Peugeot (PX-10E, all Reynolds 531) which has been customized: repaint by Betsy Weigle (it was white; now, it's blue and silver), some braze-ons, new derailleur (which needed mods to the dropouts; Simplex derailleurs were annoyingly non-standard), etc.

It remains a great bike and I ride it whenever I can, which is far less often than I'd like.
 
It was more a cafe type show then oldies but goodies,loved the Vincent,guy started it and it sounded sweet.
