the NEED for SWEDE #2

Gotta love the L_O_N_G forked wsede style.  I'd sure love to see a load more of bikes like these in the mags, not the same old formula bobbers. You need some bottle to spin one o' these round the lanes!

OOPS!

Time indeed for some cee-bee love. Having had one of these great motors, I'm pining for another. They rock. You can still get these babies cheap if you don't mind a tatty later one. Chop or cafe? Decisions, decisions...but for me it's always gotta be the SOHC.

YOU MIGHT A' SEEN THIS

If yer a regular reader, you'll know I'm bikeless at the moment. And will be for up to a year (bastard).

It was not always so! This cb750 SOHC choppa was my 1st foray into bike (re)building, on the road way back in '97. Sold it about 7 years ago by which time it had 'proper skinted' me.

Strangely, tho' I had it fully rebored and rebuilt,put on drag pipes, new carb kit and all kinds off stuff, the best it ever ran was with 4 into 1 pipe, stock carbs, points and breadbox filter.

Just thought I'd post some kind of indication I don't only nick photos off the net and stick 'em up here.

Adios!

SHINY GUZZI

Kinda says it all, no?

Drop dead gorgeous Guzzi cafe. Unusual (for a cafe, at least) monoshock looks just fine.

hard as nails

F-off fast and no mistake.

Superb gixxer. Lovin' the swingarm, underseat cans, and general ridiculous level of bling.

No skateboards, silly cars or posers here, but Streetfighters are OK at VIDAMOTO.

moody

Moody XL cafe with a distinct bratstyle flava- excellent.

HAPPY EASTER EVERYBODY

CX-tacy

Cee extacy? Like ecstacy? Geddit?

You'll be glad to see my puns get no better.

But what about these crackin' cafes? And built from one of the humblest 'big' bikes around, the despatcher's favourite, Honda's butt-ugly CX500 aka the 'plasic maggot' or just 'maggot'.

So, low bread is NO excuse!

Enjoy and have a great Easter. Peace out.
