That'll be a great project if a tad costly..., I saw your piece on the Laverda forum (I think) about finding the bike, mind you looks like you like a challenge by the Hodaka in the background.

I makes a huge difference starting with all the bits though.

Good luck, I think we'll be hearing more of you.

I hope it was cheap 'cos that's going to be an expensive rebuild.

Padlock;

Only just scrolled through your lovely pictures. Talk about age-related patina of wear!

But seriously, mail those to the ATG editor, who also does the calendar for the MRC. I might be wrong, but I'd reckon that one of those is almost certainly a calendar shot for 2013, earning you a free copy. At least you'd then get a hand list of days of the year and some other inspirational pictures while you do all that scrubbing, cleaning, taking apart and rebuilding. And I bet that it'll run without too much effort, which is the main thing! (Although that tacho needle looks bent enough to stop it spinning...).

Good luck!
