CB750 / Re: Hi Sam, long time no see.

Well not quite as long as last time but once again, I forgot who you all were.
A chance chat with Ashimoto on facebook about a totally different bike and the forum got mentioned.
I told Ash I had forgot the forum and the odd time that I did remember, I couldn't get in as I had forgotten my log in.
Ash contacted Stevie D who sorted it for me and I now have it all written down so I've no excuse unless I forget to look at what is written down and that is quite possible, hahaha.
The damage my brain sustained in the accident has made my memory worse than ever so if you do reply, please give me a clue who you are or I'll not know who I'm talking to.

Cheers guys.
Welcome back again Sam - got my CR finished since earlier in the year when you last posted. Just messing with the fine tuning
Phil

I think I read some of your posts yesterday Phil. You were having trouble keeping it running.
I'll have to search for it again to recall where you were up to.

Sam.

HGV licence and had a heart attack and stent early October mate, means i have to pass exercise test which consultant said was OK after 3 weeks but DVLA keep moving the paperwork goalposts!

That's what they did with me Bryan. If the consultant says your ok, get on to your PM, it don't cost anything.

Sorry Bryan, I didn't ask, what is your problem with the DVLA?

Hi Sam you aint the only GOF about mate, I'm still on recovery and waiting for DVLA to extricate thier digit before I can work again. sorry to hear you gat hurt having fun.

All the best
Bryan

Hi Bryan, don't talk about the DVLA to me mate. It took 2 years for them to give me my driving licence back even after the brain surgeon at Manchester Royal told them I was fit to drive again. I ended up bringing in my MP to chase them up and had it back within a few days.
I hope you are well mate.

Regards Sam.

This was all we had to start with for the AT&SF bike.
The complete bike had to be built around the motor unit.
We didn't realize at the time but the motors were in a right mess and all needed complete rebuilds, this is still ongoing as not much of each motor was standard and not all three were the same.

CR21, there are a couple of threads on it but one is on Facebook, I'll dig out links for you, the other one is on sohc4.net.

It is Phil but sadly Russ Senior is no longer with us.
It's his Son Russ Jr that is running the rebuilds but in the States.
He joined my team a few years back and then again last year at the World Finals at Valdosta in South Georgia.
Here's a pic of young Russ with my bike.

CR21, Phil Ward in Wigan linked me up with this thread and I must say, it made a very interesting read, good luck with getting it up and running.

Sam.  ;)

Hi Sam, thanks!

As a general update - the progress is super slow as I have been absorbed into a very special Yamaha build! However, I am planning on making some progress this year with the aim of completing the rolling chassis.

Cheers,
CR21

No problem mate, some builds take a lot more time than what we thought they would in the first place.
At the moment, I'm involved with a very large project rebuilding two very famous drag bikes from the 70s.
The projects have been on going for just over 6 years now, haha, but the end is looking close to being in sight now.
Would you like to tackle putting this mess back in shape. haha.

Physics come into it Pete but the easy way to explain the reason for it, it's to help the con rod to change direction from upwards to downwards  motion as it goes over TDC.

hahaha, Sorry Roy or is it Brian.  ::)

Phil, I think I just used a double banjo and it worked fine.
I'm not sure what was used on the original CRs.

Sam. ;)
