Well the Lands End Trial came and went without me finishing the Laverda prep, but she’s done now and looking and riding great. 
Eyes now fixed on the Edinburgh in October (dates still tbc by MCC).
Repairing and refinishing the badly corroded aluminium part of the enclosed rear chain was a tricky job. Cleaning off the old paint revealed ally that looked like it had been attacked by worms. I filled the holes and rebuilt the tattered edges with Devcon aluminium putty. Brilliant stuff, as the before and after shots show. Very easy to use and can even be smoothed and shaped with a wet finger when still soft.
