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!

TAS Classic Motorsports – A Final Update
Those of you who are frequent visitors to this blog knows that I have made a warning to all of you about shopping at TAS Classic Motorsport, after I having been forced to make a Better Business Bureau case after not having received a part or refund in 5 month?
To your information the money has now been returned to me, but this does not mean that TAS Classic Motorsports stops pulling my leg…
HERE IS AN UPDATE:
September 24th 2010:
I order a part for my CB750
------------------------------------------------------------------
From the September 24th 2010 to January 24th 2011:
I e-mail TAS Classic Motorsport on a weekly basis trying to get information and tracking details on my shipment, TAS Classic Motorsports fail to reply to any of my mails.
In this period I make three long distance phone calls to the Parts Manager (Mathews Paul), who promise me several times to ship the part and provide me with a tracking number. This never happens…
------------------------------
January 24th 2011:
January 28th 2011:
After no reply to my e-mail I file a complaint to the Better Business Bureau, which is taken care of by miss Susie Firestine.
After BBB get involved in the case my money is returned to me via paypal.

January 30th 2011
“Someone” from TAS Classic Motorsports, who fail to mention his name, and later say that I should contact him personally (no name, e-mail, phone number are mentioned in the text???), post a comment to this post [http://clingonforlife.blogspot.com/2011/01/tas-classic-motorsports-fraud-company.html] saying the folloving:

Today January 31st 2011-02-01
I post this reply back to Terry Paul the owner of TAS Classic Motorsports:
Hi TAS Classic Motorsports
Thank you for your comment on my blog regarding the resent BBB case. The information on this case will not be deleted from the blog or any of the other 25-30 forums, facebook groups, and international motorcycle clubs that have gotten the same information.
To your information I receive 5-15 USPS packages a week from other companies, and have never experienced a more sloppy company than yours? You lack of communication is scary, and your sweet talking way to drag time on the phone is downright unappealing!
I have send numerous e-mails to your company that you have failed to reply to, you even failed to reply to my e-mail of 24th January 2011, giving you a final warning before going to the BBB.
I am 100% sure that you would not had returned my money, unless I had made a case on your company via the BBB. And now that you are returning to me this way trying to “Straighten things out” I am even more convinced that you are pulling a scam on your clients.
First of all I have screamed and yelled for a track and trace number for this shipment in e-mails and in every phone call I have made to TAS, and only now after a BBB case you provide me with a tracking number?
The tragicomic thing about this USPS tracking number (that you claim is for my shipment) is that is was processed through USPS
This is the last that you will hear from me, because I am feet up with you and your slander!!!
I am not going to waist any more time on you people.
Keep on fucking with other people’s time and money guys; it seems that it is all that you people are good for.
With regards,
Jesper
TAS Classic Motorsports… A company that I can not recommend – Sorry…
I have wasted my own and your time on this sad case, and now it is over!
I got my money, and you guys know what TAS Classic Motorsports are made of. And I am sure that you are intelligent enough to make your own mind about all this…
With regards,
You Editor of Cling on for dear life
