I used to own a Laverda
a big snorting dragon of a thing
wild and powerful 1000cc brute
A machine not for the feint of heart
It took me across the Nullarbor Plain
through the mountains
to Thredbo
and the foot of Mount Kosciusko
Down
straight roads
curvy roads
dirt roads.
They are not made anymore
but when I see one
my heart still skips a beat.
