Hi Mick, thought you might be busy as you haven't been on CMC either.
 Â What day do you prefer mate ?
Well, not exactly a mega turnout this morning. But Mick and me got chatting with a nice geezer from Sheffield on his 1976 Honda 750 four.
 Anyone care to guess what it cost the guy to buy the bike and have the mods done ? [attachment=o7983]  You can even see my 9'er in the reflection on the engine cover.   [attachment=o7982]  As always, great to see you Mick. :good:

Your miles off Gav.
  I didn't ask him but I reckon he prolly payed a lot more than £2k for the bike. I think Mick guessed around £8k and I splurted out £20k   to which the geezer said to me..." a lot of people say that. It cost me £12k"
Doh !! miles outÂ
 , damn smart bike that. Was he just out for a jolly and ended up at the forest ? d'ya think it'll be at GB Cafe on Saturday ? The closer you look you can see some clever / smart bits to it, did you hear it run with those reverse cones on ?

No mention of any engine mods Lee, owner was more into having a steady, comfortable ride having had all manner of new bikes.
 Don't think we'll see him again Gav, he was just out for a pootle and trying/failing to avoid the rain showers.
He'd replaced the carbs with a special set - but had loads of problems getting it set up.
Exhaust system was imported from the States - but he reckoned under £400 for that - so lots cheaper than a replacement OEM system I think most of the work was done by a renovation specialist, rather than by the owner - that's what cost the money  The ally tank was something else though - gorgeous |
