Radical Brake Maintenance - An Update
Yesterday I promised to make an update on the brake caliper situation, and here it is ...
I have been in the workshop all day, and the brakes are now good and ready for assembly. Great news!
The bike will hopefully be on the road soon... Knock on wood!

Radical Brake Maintenance...
I am not only making a dual disc conversion to my CB750, the calibers have been totally disassembled and taken down to bare metal - and will be painted tomorrow. New stainless steel brake caliper pistons are in the making, and a set of drilled brake rotors have just arrived.
These modifications will make this bike look super slick, and make it stop on a dime!
There will be an update on this work soon...

The CB750 Action Figure
This Action Figure will probably never catch on?!?
Mainly because of the its insanely long name: “Diamond Eye Thunder Warrior of Light” ???
Most be Japanese!!! But the motorcycle is nice...
Crashing...
When you swing a leg over a motorcycle you automatically put yourself in danger!
Motorcycle riders normally do not talk much about this fact, and it is really too bad.
I personally had a really terrible crash in 2004, where I was l hospitalised for 4 month and needed two additional months to learn how to walk again. So why continue riding??? Because it is great! But every single bike ride my accident is in the back of my mind, and I use it to stay out of trouble...
Accepting the risk and take the advantage of you primal reflexes to be alert can really help you on a motorcycle. If you do not think this way while riding, you are just a passenger – thus putting yourself in danger.
I will hope that none of you will ever have a crash on a motorcycle, but it is important to assess the risk and accept the threat of one.
And to finish this feed off I will let you have a look at some spectacular crashes and clarification, by some of the great riders of motorcycle racing:
Italian Impressions - The Furious CB750
You can almost fell the Italian wipe, the buzz, the talk, the girls looking at you while you are crossing the city plaza. During this "drive by" it is not the Vespas that steals the picture, but this attitude CB750 1972
With CR 29mm carps, Bimota swingarm, 4 into 2 exhaust with hand made megaphones, you can’t blame this young lad for getting his motorcycle tattooed on his arm.
Even though it is a work in progress it is still a cool bike! And there is no doubt about that!
When you can use you gas tank as a Campari holder, you have a cool bike (In Italy) !!!
Love It !!!

When the CB in CB750 stands for Club Black
When the disco “Club Black” opened in
The notorious Wrench Monkees made up a series of three dark menacing looking Club Black Bikes to put on display at the club. Unfortunately none of them run, due to the fact that they are show bikes. But what a feast for the eyes they are!
Have a look at the two other Club Black bikes at the Wrench Monkees homepage:

The Vyrus 986 M2 on the street?!?
The Vyrus 986 M2 Moto2 bike was recently unveiled at the Verona Bike Show, and what a crazy race bike it is! I am a big Hub Center Steering fan myself, so the news that the contagious “Virus” is spreading, and that we could expect a street version of the bike as early as September this year, make me thinking of murdering my piggy-bag!!!
Horsepower is expected to be 136hp, with the bike tipping the scales at 135kg – not a bad power to weight ratio!!!
At €25,000 though, the Vyrus

Psycho CR750 Replica on Ebay!
Sometimes people just go over the top and overkill their bikes! This is a really good example…
This CR750 Replica poped up on Ebay yesterday, and is seriously a “one of” overstatement of historic proportions!
A lot of the parts on this bike are taken from a Honda CBR 929, and the rest is from a 71 CB750. If you can say “The rest” of anything on this bike, because there is so many custom fabricated pieces on this bike that it is hard to see the CB750 underneath it all?!?
Crazy stuff really! But if you have US $16,000.00, this could be yours to ride?

The On And Only CR750
This is the original CR750 that won the Daytona
The three members of Team Honda USA, behind the race victory; Bob Hansen, Ron Robbins, and Bob Jameson visited the State Museum of Arts and Crafts in
This beautiful CR750 ran its last race in 1974 with the French team Vésinet Team Sport, and has been restored to its original condition by a French restoration company.
The output has been measured to 85 horse power, and the value of the bike was in 2005 estimated to 330,000 € (450,000$).
CB750 Race Day – I crave Summer!
I am in serious need of riding my bike ASAP! The weather here in
Fortunately the Danish summer can’t be beat, but May 2011 seems a long time from now.
Until then I will reminisce to the classic race days that will be taking place during this summer!
See you all at the race track! The place bikes belong…

A Danish Rider After A Long Winter!
The Danish winter weather can really make you crazy! The cold is one thing, the complete lack of sunshine is what brings you down… And on top of that we can’t ride our bikes!
I am on the brink of dragging my bike into the living room, and do like this guy!
