^^^ 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.

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.

one of my school mates wired up all the lamps on the front of his Lambretta and when switched on they reduced its forward momentum to a crawl.

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.
