Post by: Laverda Dave on April 30, 2019, 08:06:57 AM: Lovely bike Mike, a lot of elbow grease went into getting that ready. My second 400/4 in 1981was the same colour.

Post by: mike the bike on April 30, 2019, 03:07:11 PM: After riding it on salty February roads it took a few hours to get it looking ok again.
Time I could have spent with SWMBO shopping😁. Anyone else want their bike cleaned?
