Laverda made/make agricultural machinery.Piaggio own the Laverda name regarding the bikes I believe.Massimo one of the Laverda brothers was more passionate with regards the motorcycles when he died the company concentrated on the agricultural machinery

Back with the cafe racers, this is the other Voxon, whatever they are..  A couple of nice Ducatis  But the shed builds capture the true spirit  One of several that turned up in vans, this one belongs to a neighbour. I've not seen it before, but I guess it lives a cosseted life in the lounge. He had to put a bit of petrol in it so he could fire it up for us to hear. It sounded good, but I think he'll have to spend a bit of time cleaning the tank out before it can go back in the house  |

There were some interesting non-Italian bikes in the visitors parking, including this nice Kwaka  And this trick Cub  The guy who owned it had just finished rebuilding it when he loaded into the van to come over to the TT. The first time he rode it was when he unloaded it at Ginger Hall. He's fitted a hand change for the gears as he can no longer use his foot following an accident. There was also this, why???  |

Voxon is a French manufacturer.Nice looking machine Thanks for that Dave, I googled it, but just came up with unrelated stuff. For a modern bike, they were nice, but I guess expensive. |

I quite like that Victory,sadly no more Victorys will be built as Polaris are going to concentrate on the Indian range

It's not a victory in my eyes, it looks like it's got a bog strapped on the back pretending to be a top box ,hell it's ugly...

Think it was designed by Arlen Ness,bit futuristic when first launched.Beauty in the eyes of the beholder Dave and I like the look of it,but I like Harley's too lol.. Test rode an Indian Chief and very impressed with way it rode.
