Border raider.
I Once rode a laverda JOTA It was 1976 i was just 18, my fastest bike to that point had been a XS2 650yamaha , the laverda was Way more than i had ever seen mph, . I got it well over 125mph and it was going and going. I remember being uncomfortable at that speed, my Experience just was not up to those speeds and i was struggling to consentrate/ focus far enough down the road, i started to think "What if" and i bottled it rolled off the throttle and it took an age to get down, i was so stupid / naive i swear i dare not have hit the brakes.^ Like the Laverda triples, that era of Triumph triples have a solid brawny look that looks the business.
Stupid embarasingly so, i admit it. But I learned a lot from that Ride, and by the Grace of god Lived to tell this tale, and perhaps more importantly i killed no other soul in the process. I remember telling my dad a Scott flying squirel owner in his day, He warned to be carefull, And in his words "Little steps Lad Little steps and you learn". It rang true to me that. and i told all my Kids the same thing.
