Dick on his 'New' 750K0

(1/6) > >>

AshimotoK0:
Just had to share 'Ron Tubby's' pic he posted with Dick Emery on his 'new' CB750 . Note the polythene still on the seat ... wonder if this was a test ride from 'Tippets of Surbiton'.

Well, I don't know how he managed to touch the ground on a CB750. He was slightly shorter than me and I just about tip toe on 1 foot with a good bit of lean on a CB750. Lovely old photo.

I think that, looking at the registration number, this was the CB750 that Dick Emery actually owned. My friend (who sold his CB750 to Frank last year) had the same bike, in the same colour with the next registration number up!

The reg. BYU 765H (prize in Classic Bike restored by John Wyatt)  was on eBay last year in a dealers C J Ball & Sons in Norwich and I think Frank bought it from him. Yes Dick Emery did own the bike in the B&W picture  I have posted the image off the cover of 1970 MCM many times on this forum.

Nurse Julie:
If Dick Emery owned that bike Ash, why doesn't Frank say anything about it in the ad? Maybe Dick Emery was just out on a test ride, hence the plastic seat cover and never actually purchased the bike.
