Oh my...another very rare Italian beauty!!!  :thumb: :1: :cool:





Always thought that those old Parilla Gran Sports were one of the sexiest motorcycles ever made.


Always liked the idea of the shoulder cam up the left side of the engine to reduce the push rod length.

The T.G.I.F. *** BUMP *** for Jan. 5th!!  :cool: :1: :thumb:

Among "The Usual Suspects" here in AZ, there has been a lot of recent flapping and bantering going back and forth about vintage Laverda's, so here is a cool example coming up for auction.

Back in the 80's, I had one just like this...it was fun...a very heavy and solid bike with good brakes / frame, but it was a load...still fun to ride...until I broke a cam lobe...so I repaired it...then sold it. The color was the traditional Laverda orange.  Some moto-journo's  dubbed it: "The Italian Norton..." but that was a stretch, IMHO. :wink: :thumb:

SRX6

how do you upload a photo

Yes, these are another "Cult Classic" bike, just like the ol' SR500, and the Honda GB500...and they still can be picked up relatively reasonably, but at auction, prices are usually quite a bit HIGHER!! :wink: :cool:

How many you gonna get, JJ?  :popcorn:

Hi twowings...Sadly... NONE....as I first have to farm out my 1995 Triumph Sprint 900 project (which I bought last April...), you see below, with pieces all over my garage floor.  It has a bad "sprag clutch" which requires the engine to be "dropped and split" etc.  :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

A friend is going to take it off my hands for what I have into it, as I took another full-time job Dec. 11th, and don't have the bandwidth or time to fix it up for sale...

Once that is gone, I will be FREE to get something else...(???) We'll see...I have been attending to the Vegas auctions with "The Usual Suspects" for >20 years now, and have never bought anything up there. 

One of these years, I will, but not this year.  It's just fun to see all the bikes and now MECUM alone showcases >1,750 bikes!  I'll take some photos and post them here in a few weeks.  It's always a big party! :wink:
