His passion for 2 wheels began very early as at 15 years old he did  a   very long trip, travelling all around Europe on a 'Mobylette'  (moped  49cc).
The following year, he got his first real motorcycle, a Yamaha 125  AS3, on which he did some long trips again, amongst them a   Saharian project, unfortunately stopped in Spain due to a crash   against a car. Kawasaki 3 cylinders 2 strokes, Suzuki 750 GT then   GSX and GSG1000 came after until what happened to be an eye-   opener : The discovery of the 1000 Laverda triple, then a road test  of a 750 SF in 1978. The Laverda virus was catched, the future   motorcycles will be Laverda only!
In 2001, he created the Laverdamania website with the purpose to   make the marque better known and to bring help and information to   the Laverda passionates.
In 2002, Eric became a frequent visitor of Laverdamania and also a   faithful friend. Fusion between Laverdamania and Eric's   documentary   website, Laverdissimo, in 2005 was the ultimate   result of this friendship.

Bike's passionate for ever, grand amateur of Laverda and above all  an immense Laverda documentation collector. He already owns   almost all the documents and objects related to Laverda (included   the agricultural ones!), however he is still searching in meetings,   markets or websites to get the very rare documents he couldn't  have yet...
Impressed very early by a Laverda 750 SF which was regularly   parked near the school where he went in the Seventies, he   patiently   waited to get his own one after having owned some   other   bikes (and a sidecar).
Destroyed by the previous owner, the SF had to be restored   entirely, it is now in pristine condition and back on the road!
In 2005, he created 'Laverdissimo', a website linked to   Laverdamania,   which contains all Laverda documentations.
Any Laverdist is welcome to get a free access to the major part of   these documents, this is also a part of Eric's passion!
