If You Don’t Like CB750 Motorcycles...
...you could always turn it into a weird looking Unisport Cabin Scooter.
The idea was that you could take your Honda CB450-750, and remove the front forks, and attach the rest of the motorcycle to the Unisport 2-person tandem tub, 2 wheel front.
Steering was done by steering wheel, and buttons on the steering wheel controlled 2 electric motors, on the tilting front suspension. In other words, you could make the 3-wheeled vehicle lean into turns.
The Unicar Corp was founded in the early 70s and lasted 2-3 years - impressive! As the legend goes, the body was designed by Bruce Meyers, the creator of the classic Meyer's Manx dune buggy, but I personally have no verification of this – it could be pure fiction?
Find more info on the Unisport here:
Front fork work – Ongoing...
The front forks are now completely disassembled, and the lower legs are sent for buffing and powder coating.
New Hagon Progressive Springs will be ordered very soon. And to match the front end the rear will be fitted with Hagon 2810 adjustable shocks for a completely tuneable setup.
And do I need Race Tech Gold Valve Emulators and do a comprehensive overkill of it all?!? Only time will tell...
We R Winning
First time I saw We R Winning’s first trailer it was clear that I could completely relate to these guys.
We R Winning put it this way:
------
“Taking risks is important. Without risk life drags on into a mindless web of routines where the vitality of hope is slowly sucked from our memory. It's not long before we are deceived into settling for less of a life than what is actually achievable. I'm always grateful to hear a tale of ordinary people freeing themselves from these illusions. We should all make an effort to have a story like this someday. We R Winning are proud to present an inspiring film about a group of friends overcoming the uncertainties that keeps people from doing what they love”.

If this is something for you maybe We R Winning’s blog is worth visiting http://werwinning.blogspot.com/
You have my respect! And right now I fell like You, Me, and all of you bike builders & riders, We R Winning...

The Honda NAS Motorbike Concept
The design on the Honda NAS motorbike concept started in 1999 at Honda's research and development department in
NAS, standing for New American Sports, was intended to push the boundaries of sports bike design for the American market.
Designers of the NAS realised that the overwhelming majority of sports bikes had been initially designed and engineered for the track, Honda bikes included, their intention was to try and offer another option, a sports bike built for the road.
The NAS designers also wanted to create a machine with more personality which would be easier to make a bond with; a mischievous face can definitely be made out hiding in the headlight fairing.
However the NAS was not all about form, some of the most ingenious engineering solutions in the motorcycle market were seen on the NAS.
For example the unique mono-arm suspension is constructed of carbon fibre and aluminium, with the damper and spring neatly enclosed within a massive steering head.
If I should go the step up from my 750cc to 1000cc, this V-twin beast could be the new bike to swing a leg over... Too bad they never build it!
This Weeks Cling On Girl...
...is riding the Tron Light Cycle made by Parker Brotheres Choppers.
