Project Dole Racer CB400/4
« on: May 12, 2014, 09:17:10 AM »
Re: The forthcoming 400/4 restoration feature in 'Classic Bike' mag. Anyone remember 'Project Dole Racer' in a magazine in the late 1980's,  as I remember?  It was painted white and made to look like a 'Mocheck Harrier'. Sadly I saw some parts from it on Ebay years ago so it's  probably scrapped now.
The donor bike was from a breakers in Holbeach (near to EMAP I think). The same magazine also featured a character 'Eric Trode' from the 'Land of the Rising Yen'. From memory, they hand painted the frame with Hammerite smooth and then sprayed it with the rattle can version to get rid of the brush marks. It also featured 'Tina Tailpipe' from memory.

Sadly my copies of the magazines are long gone.

Cheers .... AshD

I remember the Harrier. Unfortunately I've just recently recycled two boxes of MCM's.  :'(

I'm sure that Rick Denoon is a member on here - I have certainly had email conversations with him in the past.

I signed up for his newsletters but sadly the one one this link seemed to be the only one he ever issued (?)

Bought 11 copies of Performances Bikes from '86 hopefully with 'Dole Racer articles in'. I will scan and put on Dropbox when I have time.
