What a wonderful display of superb motorbikes. The Laverda that Dave rode reminded me of the nicest Laverda that I've ever seen. It was at the Stafford show probably 20 years ago. The International Laverda Owners Club had a stand there and one of their members was displaying an early drum braked triple. It was in the same colour as the one that Dave rode and it was just perfect. The huge drum brake gave it so much more Italian 'elegance' than the later disc brake. Great stuff lads, I really enjoyed that. 👍
Marvellous stuff gentlemen and what a superb collection/turnout. I had a 1980 Laverda 180 Jota, the version with the round-end fairing. It used to drop the fuel into the engine and then run all over the garage floor if you left the tap on but apart from that, was lovely.
Great memories of a wonderful day. It really is a special event - what's not to like, rare and beautiful bikes, wonderful South Shropshire countryside, interesting and friendly people. The pub venue is great and very accommodating with tasty and modestly priced food and drink and a lovely campsite. They even manage to arrange perfect weather every year!🙂
What a treat that was! I rode a mate’s Darmah back in the day and that memory has stayed with me. It’s left me yearning for one ever since (always out of reach) Jota’s take some beating for style, but don’t they all! Must try to get along to that meet up next year. Mike, I hear you on the kidney stone comment. Man, aren’t they just delightful. Must drink more water!! Great vid once again 👍
Cheers Rob, yeah that kidney stone poleaxed me and I was in hospital the week before that event. Thats why I look like 5lbs of shite in a 2lb bag in the video
What a wonderful day, I had to leave early, so thank you for showing me some of the bikes I missed. This truly is the best event of the year, and the weather was amazing. Thanks to Steve and James for organising it. See you all next year.
Totally awesome video guys. Was great to see all of those bikes from days gone bye. I would have loved to have been at that event, but sadly it's to distant. Thanks to all who made this video possible. Have a beautiful day! Cheers!! Illinois, USA
Always liked the Gilera Saturno. For many years, maybe even still, it held the lap record at the Nurburgring in the hands of a well known instructor! 👍
Great video guys, and wonderful machines, oddly what caught my eye was in the first few moments whilst panning around with camera was the front wheel of a Honda 250 superdream! happy days indeed for me!! Cheers guys 👍👍
Beautiful bikes and since I am of the same vintage I can relate to these bikes. I actually had a Benelli SEI with the 6 into 6 on my wall just because of those glorious pipes. I didn't see one in this video but still plenty of nice old bikes.
I saw a Benelli SEI, red, six into six just two days at Scarborough's Oliver's Mount race circuit. The bike had clearly been immaculate but the heavens opened and made the whole parking field into a mud bath. I saw the Benelli leaving and it was covered in mud. I would have cried if that was mine.
My faves: The Gilera Nuovo Saturmo. The orange RGS. The Darmah SS ( yes there’s a theme here) and for sympathy points the belt driven Darmah. Favorite detail: I’ve always found those fully adjustable bars on that Jota, with their finely toothed fixation solution, a piece of art in themselves.
I've owned a few Laverdas including an 81 Jota but if I could have one more bike it would be an 3c. That ones early. Pre oil cooler. My favourite motorcycle of all time.
Great video, lovely bikes, thanks. Moto Giro d'Italia also on my bucket list, but really interested in a UK version, does anyone have more details about it? Will try and get to this event next year, not too far from Oxfordshire on a 250 Ducati. That Laverda at the end sounds lovely.
gr8 vid guys..........loved seeing all the bikes especially Laverda (past Jota owner).........did I see a SFC in the first footage? bye the way what is the music thats played in this vid?
By SFC do you mean Dave’s ua-cam.com/video/Hix-do81B5I/v-deo.htmlsi=9F_oeY5TNRQSWQ5N Or the newer 120SFC ? The music is from a guy called Will Harrison I spend quite a bit of time matching the images to sound (mood)
Mike thanks for the post we are heading into winter so its nice to see some sunshine and beautiful Italian machines always enjoy your clips and one question is that your garden? its stunning -Mark ex somerset now in NZ Morini owner

Thanks for your comments I used to have an SF2 750 but I aways wanted a Jota

Thank you for watching
Well done guys-- lovely video ( as always), this continuous rain is depressing, here in Wales it's wet & cold , have a great weekend 😀 👍

Went to the Morini track day last week at Cadwell, sadly no Saturno’s 🥹
Dave was there riding a red Norton
An absolute "feel good video"!
What a stunning gathering of bikes I had almost forgotten! And the framing, absolutey beautiful! Well done guys!
👍😃👍
Thank you 👍
You missed the 254 benelli. They made some epic bikes. Enjoyable video again 👍
It had left by the time I got myself organised
There was another guy bikerdude who as a yt channel who captured it
Great video guys, and wonderful machines, oddly what caught my eye was in the first few moments whilst panning around with camera was the front wheel of a Honda 250 superdream! happy days indeed for me!!

A lot of eye candy, brilliant!
Have to agree about the silver Jota, immaculate ! What a lovely place ! 🇬🇧

Dave used to own a 900 Sei back in the 80s

Have you seen our video on Dave’s Jota (endurance bike) ?
@@LemonDrizzleGang Yes I have. Its lovely.
Good day , some very nice machines……..
Probably born out of necessity but that belt driven Darmah is a great idea! 😎
Great video, lovely bikes, thanks. Moto Giro d'Italia also on my bucket list, but really interested in a UK version, does anyone have more details about it?

I will ask Rich about the one he mentioned
