now that's just mean. but thanks for giving 736cc proper credit.

Yeah, he showed it last year at http://www.rice-o-rama.com/ in Webster, MA...... he left that day with an armload of trophies too I understand.
You're not that far away, if you're available to attend I'd recommend it, it was a great event last year.

Very tasty, Benjie! Is it a 350? 360? Have you got a bigger photo of the bike?

Nice valanced rear rim. Hard to find in wider widths. RR

I like the overall bike, but the paint looks like a Gypsy wagon!

Billy, the rider on the Walmsley Matchless is Frank Melling, he was my best mate back in the 60s.
If you look at the post after by Suelzer you will see in the second picture Frank on his own bike, a 500 Seeley Suzuki.
In the picture above of Jim Redman, I am just out of shot, #2 was Malc Wheeler (editor of Classic Racer) I was start #3.

That one is from the Danish custom shop Wrenchmonkees. http://wrenchmonkees.blogspot.com/2009/06/heinrich.html

Mainsite is http://wrenchmonkees.com

Seeing their site makes me kinda proud to be Danish.

They do some really cool stuff and I bet they will ansver a question or two if you drop them an email.

UnCrash · « **Reply #2273 on:** July 08, 2009, 04:31:29 AM »

I really like that wrenchmonkees 750F! I need some inspiration for my build...

I second the recommendation to email them. I've done so in the past and received quick response to my questions.

SUELZER · « **Reply #2274 on:** July 08, 2009, 05:49:37 AM »

Ecosse, i'm still drawn to that 1100R...what a beautiful bike.
Any idea what happened to Honda's plans on doing the new retro version of that? I remember seeing photos of it at one of the moto shows last year, but maybe it was just a prototype and thats all.
