The All Chrome CB750 Café Racer
In July I posted a super cool all chromed up CB750 Café Racer here at Cling on for dear life. Due to the old Japanese flag on the seat, I associated it with emperor ruled Japan
Moments later I got a comment from my partner in crime, Mr. Paulo, who runs Joe Kings Helmets Speedshop. He knew the owner of the bike, and was building a set of four into four CR750 exhaust pipes (for his own CR750 replica) with him.
Paulo informed me that the bike was not build in Japan , but was from Brazil
People, I am sorry that the former post gave the impression that it was a Japanese bike, but I am really happy that I was informed of this, so you could all benefit from more info and material on this super nice CB750.

The Latest Progress
My CB750 Café Racer project is standing still at the moment due to the fact that our worhshop Coffee & Pistons are moving to a bigger and better workshop, and I am personally also moving to a bigger and better home.
All good, but no motorcycle work... But here are the latest progress for you people to see.
Engine has been cleaned to match the rest of the bike
Dual drilled discs & heatwrap on the headers
16mm brakecylinder to match the dual disc conversion
Rear sets as cool as your mother in law's love - that is cold!
A cow was killed to make my ass comfortable

Death Of A CR750 - The Ralph Bryan Crash
The legendary victory of Dick Mann at the Daytona 200 in 1970, was not without loses. Ralph Bryan crashed during the practice and his CR750 burned dramatically due to the high amount of highly flammable magnesium used in building the racer. This is a montage of the event...
Ballaugh Bridge 1977
This is an extract from an article inside the 1977 Isle of Man TT Programme.
This extract shows Phil Read leaping the Ballaugh Bridge while he was undertaking a few laps to reacquaint himself with the circuit after a few year's absence.

A CR750 Race Rebel
It has been three decades since Dick Mann was manhandling his CR750 round the curves and bends of Daytona, but people are still racing these beautiful machines.
I took these pictures a fortnight ago at The Ring Djursland Track at the International Classic TT. And even though this CR750 did not get the checkered flag, it did not come in last.
