CB750 50th Anniversary ride Western Australia
« on: May 13, 2019, 10:52:58 AM »
Two weeks ago the Classic Motorcycle Riders Club of WA celebrated the CB750 50th Anniversary with a ride from Perth to Bridgetown and Nannup in the SW of WA.

We covered close to 900kms over the 3 days, travelling over many back roads on some great twisties and fast sweeping bends.
There were 22 CB750s and a few other bikes on the ride. All but one made it thru the whole weekend, but not without a few minor issues which were all resolved.

A great weekend with a great bunch from the CMRC 😎

Brilliant.

Hopefully the UK will have some warm weather so we can get out.

Great turnout

Thanks John!  The last pic of the green K1 is the bike I rode...but it's not mine!
The owner is too short to hold it up when at traffic lights/stop signs etc. so he offered it to me for the ride.
Instead, he rode my 500K1 for the whole trip, although it played up later on due to a suspect bullet connection on the black/white wire to the 1-4 coil.  Solved oncee we arrived home.  :)

Oh what memories you stir with those pictures. I traveled in my younger days and got my self a Suzuki GS550. Started in Perth, Travelled around WA before heading across the Nullabor and up the east coast. What carefree days.
