Laverda SFC Restoration

I’m very excited about observing the full restoration of a Laverda SFC by someone who knows what they are doing, namely, Scott Potter. I’m sorry to say the SFC doesn’t belong to me but it could belong to you when it’s finished. Scott and I have agreed that this is a golden opportunity to document what makes an SFC different from a standard production Laverda so we’re going to try to record the process very closely. You can find this new section under the Laverda menu on the home page.

The Old Bike Ride

I’m still hurting over the death of my friend Bob Ohman a couple days ago after a long illness, especially with his beloved Old Bike Ride happening tomorrow. He had not been able to lead the ride in the past few years, due to declining health, and sometimes he was too ill to even attend the gathering and take-off, but we always knew he was anxiously awaiting news of how many people showed up and how the ride went. I decided to add a page to this site about the Old Bike Ride to honor Bob. May the spirit of “The Old Cruster” encourage us all to keep doing what we love as long as possible, regardless of the obstacles.
