Joker Machines 1972 CB750
.jpg)
Joker Machines really did a good job presenting what is possible with a CNC Machine in this build. All of the really cool bits and pieces like the Trible trees with H-bar clamp, Steering stem nut, Side cover kit, Speedo cable plug, custom Clutch cover, and custom valve tapper covers are just some of the nice features that have been made for this bike. And all the parts can be acquired Joker Machines Webshop hip hip hurra [See link below].
But this CB750 is a bit like a spoiled kid right?! It has all the toys that you can’t afford!!!
The Joker Machine is a nice bike that I think you all should have a look at, but personally I think that it is a bit over the top... It has too much going on.
Joker Machines makes cool parts, they just have to be put together in a different way.

Ian Barry Quote on Electric Motorcycles
Electric motorcycles: Yes or No?
Yes, because to ignore electric motorcycles—purely because of an obsession with combustion powered ones—limits my imagination of what’s possible on two wheels. I love old bikes but they were once new, trying to out-perform the one before. When I bring an old bike skeleton back from the dead, I try to refine it with technology, forms, and materials that weren’t available when it was made… but at the end of the day, it’s still built within a framework of vintage elements. In the modern bike world, the ‘frame’ of mind is the present and the future, so if an electric engine is what ends up fueling (no pun) a superior-performing and interesting motorcycle, then who’s to say that it’s not part of the ‘perfect’ evolution of a modern bike?

Rear Fender Is Off
The nasty old rear fender is off, and after some surgery the CR750 race tail will be ready to be put on.
Honda Emblem and Headlight for Sale
The fully functional headlight (without the fucked up wiring) and Honda emblem + fixing plate is now for sale.
If you are interested please contact me at: sub2jazz@gmail.com
How many connectors are needed to make a headlight work?!?
Ok I figure it was not an electrician who did the wiring of this headlight! Removal of the headlight was like opening a can of worms! The wires were all tangled up like a ball of spaghetti, and how many connectors are actually needed to make a headlight work?!?
The old CB750 K7 wiring diagram will sure come handy...
Heat Wrap Is On
Just finished the heat wrap job, and I am very satisfied with the result. Even in the really narrow places I managed to do a decent job.
Heat wrap just makes old and bended pipes look so much nicer!

Toni Elías: 2010 Moto2 World Champion
With his result of fourth place at the Malaysian Grand Prix the Spaniard sealed the Moto2 World Championship title.
Growing up in the family bike shop in Manresa as the son of a ten-times Spanish motocross champion, Toni Elías was destined for a career on two wheels.
He started the year as one of the title favourites in the Moto2 class, and throughout the season his weath of experience and race-craft has shone through as he claimed seven wins, incuding four in a row over the summer period. The Spaniard became the first ever Moto2 World Champion at the age of 27.
Jorge Lorenzo: 2010 MotoGP World Champion
As expected a third place in the Malaysian Grand Prix secured the Fiat Yamaha rider his first ever premier class title.
Jorge Lorenzo is Spain's first MotoGP World Champion since Àlex Crivillé in 1999.
Having battled with team-mate Valentino Rossi and Honda's Andrea Dovizioso in the last knockings, the Mallorcan eventually elected to play it safe.
With Closest challenger Dani Pedrosa out of action due to a broken collorbone, Lorenzo's winning of the title ends a two-year victory streak for Rossi, who triumphed in todays race for the first time since he broke his leg.

Jorge Lorenzo MotoGP Champ 2010?
Following Valentino Rossi’s pace-setting form of Friday, Yamaha team-mate and Champion elect Jorge Lorenzo has registered Saturday morning’s best effort at
With Dani Pedrosa out of action after breaking his collarbone at Motegi, Lorenzo needs only a ninth place in Sunday’s race to seal the title – something he should be more than capable of.
Lorenzo looks like the MotoGP champion of 2010?

CB750 vs. CR750 ???
A friend of mine asked me why I put CB and CR750 in the headline of a previous thread [http://clingonforlife.blogspot.com/2010/09/cbcr750-cafe-racer-project-started.html].
The reason is actually very simple. The CB750s used for racing in the 1970’s was called CR750, and there were a number of mechanical differences between the CB & CR750.
The most striking design different between the CB & CR model is the longer and narrower fuel tank, and race tail on the CR750. Engine, brakes, exhaust and suspension looks the same, but it is not! The CR750 is a totally different beast!
[Picture: CR750 in front, CB750 in the background]
Injured Dani Pedrosa out of Malaysia GP
Dani Pedrosa will miss the Malaysian MotoGp on Sunday, after he broke his collarbone four places in last weeks practice for the Japanese Grand Prix.
Pedrosa was the only rider who could have challenged the Fiat Yamaha rider Joergen Lorenzo and prevented him from winning the title. Pedrosa's abcence means champion leader Lorenzo will only have to finish in the top 10 at Sepang, in order to be the 2010 champion.
Official Admission of Guilt to Ian Barry [Falcon Motorcycles]
When I first heard of the story my first intention was not to post anything about the Teutuls... They make so many stupid fuckups on end that it is not worth wasting time on.
Everyone who check motorcycle blogs know that Paul T. Jr used a picture of Ian Barry’s beautiful motorcycle “The Falcon” for a commercial t-shirt, and broke every copyright low in the process. Long story short...
The reason why I am posting the follow-up is because it is so un-Teutul to do something as grownup as to give an apology?
The outcome of this circumstances? I let you be the judge....
