martc Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 ^^^ The Honda CB750 won it's stand off against the Austin Cambridge and is still with us, or at least it's SORN'd. The Toyota has expired, tax due 29/9/89 a mere 12 years old. Perhaps the weight of snow crushed it. Fat_Pirate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somewhatfoolish Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Brave man if he's on 1978 bridgestone ditchfinders, if the 750 was anything like the 400/4 the old man had(riding in damp conditions often rendered it a 300/3 and occasionally a 200/2) the 'thrills' come thick and fast.

My 400/4 had Avon tyres so I was lucky there, but the non-stick front disc led to some 'interesting' braking in the damp. It's damp starting was not brill either. It was replaced by a Moto Guzzi V50 whose cast iron discs and Brembo calipers and no-fault damp starting was a revelation. brandersnatch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martc Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Noo Yoik City, 1985, photographer Bene Taschen. 'This was the end of the SRO (single room occupancy) hotels. A lot of people on the edge would live in SROs. All the way uptown, and all the way downtown. Then they started warehousing the properties to make them all upscale like you have today. The SROs were a huge safety net for people at the bottom. Once they were taken away, a lot of people ended up on the street.' Remspoor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martc Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Ulan Bator, Mongolian People's Republic, sometime in the 1960s. Mum to young lad, second along 'What on earth are you doing? You'll trip over, loose your balance and walk into things. And you look like a zombie (whatever one of those is).' Second lad along 'I've no idea what I'm doing Mum, but I think it'll be an important skill in about 50 years time'. Remspoor and Asimo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
