This Years Winter Tyres
This winter has been a pain, and I am so pleased that spring is on its way here in
But when winter returns I will be prepared! With these tyres no winter is a match for me!
One Way Ticket To CB750 Speed Heaven
A trip down memory lane with this dual CB750 engined drag bike will probably take you to about 200+ miles per hour! I know this picture is old, but they went fast enough back then to satisfy most of you peoples need for speed...

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 !!!
