Some great bikes you have owned Debs.
Suzuki GS750.....First Suzuki four stroke ..(I think.)
Laverda Jota....Three cylinder Italian Superbike...A legend.
Ducati Darmah....Fantastic Italian V-twin...not too sure about Italian electrics of that era though.

P.S I'll bet your GT 750 kettle had a three into one spanny on it. :y :y

A mate of mine is going to be selling both his road bikes soon to fund his racing. the first is a Laverda Jota,the 2nd a Honda special,which started life as a 1977 cb750, but has a tuned engine and a special frame and body work which I think was by Seeley. :y
