    I have been fortunate enough to ride the South West U.S.A.(Co.,Utah and New Mexico) on an SF 2 that I borrowed from my friend Eric Bergman.On both trips I was accompanied by Bob Herman of ROCKY MOUNTAIN MOTORCYCLE TOURS.This motorcycle is without doubt the most comfortable classic bike I have ever toured on.It is totally reliable and absolutely solid in roadholding,reliability and overall feel of quality.I feel that this Laverda,unfairly,lives in the shadow of its younger 3 cylinder siblings,that are great bikes in their own right but so different in nature to the 750 SF ,that each should be viewed in their own and separate rights.The 750 SF plays second fiddle to none!
    Great magazine,thank you for the reading pleasure you give me.
    Kind Regards
    Lance Allam
