Re-posted announcement:
Massimo Laverda, son of the Laverda founder Francesco Laverda, passed
on Oct 26th due to a heart attack.
Massimo's role in Laverda was crucial as he turned Laverda in the
production direction towards high capacity bikes near the end of the
1960's. The market followed very shortly.
There is a picture of Massimo at

and buried within the site one of the better brief summaries of the
history of Laverda.
BORN TO LURK, FORCED TO WORK.
