Hondaman's Book Shipped but
« on: January 30, 2014, 10:43:06 PM »
Ordered My CB750 book last week and it arrived today. I thought "That was quick" but then I looked at the postmark and it was shipped from Melbourne! How did that happen? I thought it would be coming from the US.
Have only had a quick flick through it and it looks great - looks like what shop manuals should be like but aren't. Thanks Mark, I don't mind where it comes from, just happy to have it.

I believe the publisher Lulu is an e-compay,  in that they have print facilities around the globe where they print only by demand and it is done from computer-based storage of the work.

Ah ha, I now understand. That's cool.
Looking forward to getting stuck into my 750F1 with an oil leak, pucks most likely. Wish I had this book when I rebuilt it.
 AND, I've ordered Franks frame kit so it'll be much easier. I wasn't looking forward to heaving that lump out, and back in, again.

Dang, you got ripped off.

But I bet if you sent the cover page with  return to PNW or california you could get an autograph on it.

And find someone to help with the lump. I hear hernias suck.
