Mick Staiano raced a Laverda Jota outfit for some time, Mal White raced it at the Southern 100 for Mick one year.
I think Mike bought it from Bob Philpot, Mike said he developed huge arm muscles riding that bike, as it was so heavy to steer :lol:

Not as heavy as my Bill Cooper wobbly wheel outfit I bought off Chas Greatrix. It got realy heavy after we put Z1000 motor in it. Thats what I made my Southern debut on in 79. Didnt put me off though . Perhaps it should have though :roll: . Got to add I love the place, best thing I have done ,apart from the hospital bits :D .

John Boswell raced a Laverda in the late 70's, don't know what chassis he used.

Shame to see Tony's outfit in such a state. I remember when it was a thing of beauty.
Richard 'Dick' Adams used to race a Laverda outfit in the late 70's early 80's.

Hi just wondered if any one had any photos of Tony's outfit back in the day in colour, as yes it's going to be a task but it'll be well worth it in the end
retired racer now..................no more money thanks to everyone for their help over the years, ive raced with the best and totally enjoyed it. maybe one day big bear racing might be back!

That's right Tony, when Tony Howard built it & raced it, it was immaculate.
