Hi I know this is a side track for your thread, but as you have Laverda in your handle you might be have seen this or know where to look. This is a photo of my friends dad as he helped in the pit crew for this bike in the early 70s in Canada, my friend is trying to track down the bike/current owner. If you have any suggestions for him it would be appreciated.

JLO will likely know it's history and where it is now as there is a register of them. The frames on those were not painted but galvanized. A good mate of mine up in Scotland had one and he let me ride it for a couple of hours, absolutely fantastic, a true racer on the road. I know he sold it for £25k about 15 years ago and they are worth a lot more than that now. If the bike in your photo is a genuine Laverda endurance factory bike, name your price!
Good progress Dave, that’s bloody cheap for laced rims including the spokes in SS. In fact a veritable bargainSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
