Or...When I had a Life!!! (Pre-Mortgage Era)

Enough whinging....Heres MY Pics!


This is one I made earlier (`79)

Its a Rickman cr 750 with a Honda 750 K6 engine. I bought the rolling chassis for £850 from Bill Smiths in Chester, It came with Tank, fairing and seat unit (not the one shown, I made it out of fibre-glass) Ronal Wheels, Betor front forks, Girling rear shocks, Lockheed discs and calipers. I fitted a Moto-Guzzi Linked-brake system, so that using foot brake gave 75% to left front disc and 25% to rear disc and the right-hand h/bar lever worked right-hand front disc. The `pipe is a Devil track outlet, I had it shot-blasted and aluminium sprayed, and then coated it with Sperex red.

 


Box over speedo has buzzer for turn-signal and buzzer was also linked to low Oil pressure warning (saved our life that did..but thats another story!!)These buzzers were banned because blind people at pedestrian crossings started walking into bikes turning left!
Look how skinny the back tyres were in them days!!!
You will of course, notice the ignition cut-out switch on the side-stand bracket?
