With my other bike:

Bye bye MV, hello Triumph 765 RS.

Today, the weather has definitely changed now.

Were you about to do a slalom through the rocks?

Here's a pic of mine a few of weeks back after an afternoon in the Peak district. I forgot to take my 'phone with me - DUH!

What a nice idea for the lengthening nights Doggy... I'll bung a couple up.

I'm intrigued by the glimpse of what looks like a late bevel twin Ducati in your first shot. What is it and please and have you got any full pictures of it?

Nice pics, let's have some more .

A keen eye Gazza . But an incorrect guess . That bike is dad's also, a friend was riding it that day .
Have another guess while I try and dig out another pic .

Darren69 · 28-10-2018, 08:37 AM

Laverda would be my guess. Rear light and pipes are the same as on mine.

Mr Gazza · 28-10-2018, 09:19 AM

Ah! Never thought of Laverda. My next guess was going to be Allazura or somfink.

Darren69 · 28-10-2018, 09:47 AM

Maybe too modern, a lot of other Italian bikes from the '70's used that rear CEV light unit, Morini, Guzzi, Benelli etc. But they look suspiciously like Laverda Jota pipes.

Mr Gazza · 28-10-2018, 10:08 AM

Could be a Morini with after market silencers, but can't be a Guzzi cos it's got a sprokit innit...

Darren69 · 28-10-2018, 12:20 PM

Yea and it looks like it's on the wrong side which makes me think Laverda, chain on the right on those. Any others have chains on the right?

Mr Gazza · 28-10-2018, 12:40 PM

Ducati all had the drive on the right, up until the belt driven camshaft models commencing with the Pantah.
Morini wee vees also have right hand drive... And a left hand kick start! (left foot)

Moto Guzzi singles had a right hand chain too, but before the era of the bike in the picture.

Laverda 3C circa 75?
