Well,the rebuild was long so in the meantime I had bought a little CB125S to get about on.It was probably the worst bike that I could have chosen as the girlfriend hated going on the back,after being far more comfortable on the sumptuous pillion on the OEM 750 seat.But,not long after having had a special tank and seat unit made for me by the same person who made tanks for Barry Sheene,I encountered some spilt diesel.
https://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv23/WiNot_Rhencullen/Honda%20750/My750020-2.jpg~original
But I soon had the bike back on the road,albeit with a battered exhaust.The tank was punctured by the headlight brackets and spilt petrol all over the place when I first picked the bike up after my off.Luckily this spilt fuel did not ignite when it got onto the hot exhaust pipe.

I had read in a 'Bike' magazine about how CG Exhausts in Dartford made silencers,so I ventured down and asked for a chrome pipe to be made up for me.As I was running S&B individual filters I needed to change the jetting and in the early '80s this was a hit-and-miss calculation.I read loads of which way to go and so this meant regular strip downs of the carbs to change needle positions and main jet sizes - I had hair in those days

https://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv23/WiNot_Rhencullen/Honda%20750/Picture505.jpg~original
I changed the bars again while the others were being changed about.Luckily at work I had plenty of machining equipment that I could utilise to make good some of the damage from my 'off'.
(Before anyone makes a comment about the following pic,I am not adjusting my goolies)
https://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv23/WiNot_Rhencullen/Honda%20750/TimsCB750F3-4017.jpg~original
CG Exhausts had made me a new silencer and had it chrome plated,which was not what I had asked for but I was quite pleased with the style so bolted it up and went with it until something else came along,the Harris Track outlet pipe being put to one side for the moment.In the meantime I bought a house with a garage and friends soon found it more convenient to pop by for a chat and a coffee

This pic is of the 750/836 parked at Brands Hatch.On the way home I had an interesting encounter.My friend was on his Z650C3 and we 'made good progress' home along the A20.He admitted later to being flat out and we were neck and neck for a short distance - then I changed into top...byeee!
One Sunday I just wanted to be alone.My girlfriend did not understand but decided to jump on her bike and to give me some space.So I just rode to nowhere in particular and stopped for some pics

https://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv23/WiNot_Rhencullen/Honda%20750/BikesBikesBikes201.jpg~original
I stopped on the way home and I remember it being very cold once the sun started to go down

https://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv23/WiNot_Rhencullen/Honda%20750/My750023.jpg~original
Some other friends also had a CB750F2 and were interested in what I had done to my frame,so I went down to the pub and took the tank off to show what I had done.

https://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv23/WiNot_Rhencullen/Honda%20750/My750096.jpg~original
I had more plans for the bike.I did not want to be using it for commuting anymore after what had happened with the spilt diesel.So I looked out for another CB550/4 like I had owned previously.
More soon ____________________ Just talk bikes.What else is there?

Beautiful, this is a really stunning bike. A friend of mine bought a CB500ss, and i'd never really looked at them properly before but when I saw his I was hooked. Might get one myself ____________________ He who wants to keep his garden tidy doesn't reserve a plot for weeds. |
