Didn't ride far this weekend.  6 miles to the bike show in Cardiff on Saturday morning. Exhibited bike, 6 miles back home on Sunday.
Where's that 10mm socket got to?

Been out for a great ride around suffolk just over 100 miles.Loved every second.Stopped 1 mile from home to fill up and the bike refused to start.No matter how much I pushed the starter or Kicked it I couldn't get any oil pessure.
I can tell you a mile is a long way to push a fully fueled 750. It was f**king heavy.To make thinks worse I dropped it when I got home and it's even heavier when its on its side.On the plus side I haven't done much damage and have oil pressure back now  ???

God only knows how you managed to pick that up Mick, your no bigger than a shrimp  ;D ;D ;D. I have trouble pushing CB750's from one side of the workshop to the other. As for getting them on the centre stand, forget it, mind you I struggle even doing that with the 550/4, the 500/4 and the 400/4 but, I'm told I don't have the right technique  ::) ::). Hope your OK

The bike seems to be fine I only damaged the rear foot rest hanger and the end of the throttle grip it now starts easy and the oil pressure is back  ???

Shrimp I take offence to that  ;) just because I'm stilll wheezing.You better stick to the 250u Julie.When it went over I roped the neighbour into taking most of the weight  ;D the only casualty was me with a squashed finger.

Time for a full rebuild then
If it's got tits or wheels, it's hassle, if it's got both, RUN!!!
