1977 CB750 PROJECT

Was owned by a local guy who collects old air cooled Hondas. Last run 3 yrs ago, has had a few bits borrowed off it for other bikes, mainly exhaust and carbs, does come with another set of CB750 carbs but they are an unknown quantity. Engine was good and sound when last run, turns over nice with good compression. Clocks show 30,000 miles. Very tidy paintwork. Easy Cafe Racer project. £850. tri650@live.co.uk

TOP FUELED

Revving at 10,000rpm, blower making 45psi of boost, drinking Nitromethane at 17 gallons per minute, then the spark goes out.....

TOP TIP

Even though you may buy new cables they usually come dry so they need oiling before fitting. I was dicking about with the clutch cable for my Triumph today when someone showed me this little trick which you can even do with the cable still on the bike. Fill a little plastic bag with some light oil, (fork oil is good) then just turn it over and cable tie it onto the end of your cable, though not in that order. I was a bit sceptical but within half an hour oil was oozing out of the other end. Result.

KEN AND SEREN

Remember Ken Block, on here a while ago, good driver, no dress sense ?
and Seren Gibson, BSH model for the photoshoot with my Triumph, pretty girl, no dress ?
Guess what ? they are buddies.....

TRITON TUESDAY

MORE SUNDAY DRIVERS

We drove (Guy drove) nearly 500 miles yesterday to an Autojumble with 6 stalls, luckily there was some entertainment.

DICE INVADERS

Check out Dice blog today (link from my list) i had never seen or heard of Invader wheels on cars either until i saw this.

BELL

Want one...

SCORTON AUTOJUMBLE

A wintry 6.30 start this morning, but worth the journey,



Scorton isnt your usual autojumble, just a couple of quid to get in its mostly indoors in winter. There is a more unhurried feeling than normal, a guy with homemade ginger wine plays 1950s Rock and Roll 78s, the catering huts serve good cheap food and warm drinks..... and there is Alice's Attic.





3rd Saturday every month. Scorton is near Catterick Garrison.

15 YEARS ON

The same Paul as in the last post but in 1969. Not such a little cherub now boy ! Paul and Tilly were original Scooter kids from Malton in the 60s and have been sorting some photos out for me. More to come next week.

SUNDAY DRIVERS

Esther and Ruby with Horace at the wheel of the model Y, full of anticipation.



Paul's uncle used to hire this car for Sunday jaunts in the mid 50s, anyone know what it is ?

ZIP's XS FLAT TRACKER

Loads better than mine !

BEEZERS AT BISLEY

Been sat quietly in a damp corner all winter, started 3rd kick last week. Really needs fork seals and front brake doing but what are the chances ?

JOHN McLEAN'S GSXR1100M

John's bike is everything a modified oil boiler should be. Everytime i look at this bike i want it.
