That is so ultra cool. What a great addition to the Seeley collection.

Hi,

The feature on my Seeley Honda 750 was published in the October Classic Bike magazine. A good write up from Gez Kane.  Colin Seeley confirms that only 6 bikes were "factory" built by CSRD so it makes my bike a pretty rare example.

Here is a link to my flickr album page.  Select a photo then If you go to the bottom right of the page you will see an arrow pointing down.  Click on this and then "view all sizes", you then have a choice of photo sizes, Large is OK to read (you don't actually have to download the photo) https://www.flickr.com/photos/zunspec/albums/72157671221523016

 Nice find, I love digging into the history of a machine.

Thanks guys,

I thought the rider/journo, Gez Kane, wrote a very good and sympathetic article.  Some great shots from the phtographer.  We all had a good time doing the photo shoot, just wish we had returned via the scenic route so Gez had chance to give the Seeley a proper try out.

The letter confirming the authenticity of my bike from Colin Seeley. I already posted this in the Seeley register thread but thought I would add it to the project thread for completeness.
