Hi guys, I'm in the beaches in Toronto, always trying to get a ride somewhere, always seem to be busy on the day. Will keep an eye here, hope to have my 750 on the road in the spring, until then it's this..John.

Hi John,

That's a nice CB77 that you have to ride! I really love that model as I've owned a 1962 version since the spring of '66. It still runs but I've been contemplating really sprucing it up. The neat thing about it is that it still has more "pull" than my 350 Four.

Here's a picture. Since this was taken, the starter is back on (kick isn't working) and the mufflers have been replaced (still not original but closer). The trunk is more of a joke, as it looks just like a shrunken version of what's on my Wing.

Hey Boner, since you're from the U.K, do you know much about Matchless bikes?. My brother is putting one together for someone, and parts seem scarce as hen's teeth. it about a 1966 750. You have a lot of English bikes, you ever run into those bikes, or hear of a source for stuff? He needs a seat and fenders. Thanks, John.

Hondanut, those pipes look pretty good though, those Dunstalls? Funny, my starter quit, but my kickstarter is working!

Nope, those pipes aren't Dunstall - they are just open megaphones. They made quite a racket! I think they were intended for British bikes.

Jesus guys it looks like I'll have to stop screwing around and get my workshop built so I can bring the 6 1/2 up to your standards by spring and yes the gods willing and the shaman is mellow I would be up for a meeting.

Put me on the list!! I'm coming from Sudbury area (4 hrs north of T.O.) BUT....worth the tour... As TinTop mentioned...I'd love to do some meet-ups and rides next summer!!

Cheers!!

PS...Because I am so excited about it....my build made it into the November BOTM vote! YAY! Ontarian's Unite!

Boner · « **Reply #32 on:** October 18, 2010, 08:11:19 AM »

Nice bike Hednut I checked your cycle out and when the voting starts you get my vote for sure.
That cb77 is also one nice cycle, I have also wanted one for my collection. If anyone hears of one for sale let me know.
I grew up in the Mods & Rockers period and had mostly British cycles but I really liked the 250 Honda, Suzy X6, Yam YDS as they performed nearly as well as my 650 Brit bikes. When the Honda 750 came out in 69 it was the end of the Brits

70ckb0 If I remember correctly a Matchbox 750 around 1966 would have been the Norton atlas engined model , so engine, forks, wheels, exhaust are real easy to find. As far as the seat goes contact the AJS / Matchless club they will know for sure and I think the fenders are Norton so they will still be available. Contact Mike at Walridge motors he will know if new ones are being produced. Mike is in London Ontario but if he is no help let me know and I will ask some UK based shops who I deal with.

Thanks, My brother is in London..

I was wondering about rides around Lake Simcoe? Other than going from Barrie to Orillia on 11 and of course, stopping at Paul Webber's for a burger, I haven't really explored the area much. I've never been to Pefferlaw for example or any of the south shore. Wouldn't be so far for Hednut either?

Tom in Newcastle......Ontario · « **Reply #35 on:** October 18, 2010, 01:30:36 PM »

Since we are throwing around destinations.....Hwy 118 around Port Carling, east or west goes from the Mac Teer(400) to Bancroft(28)......not a ten minute ride that's for sure.......just tossing it in the mix

cookindaddy · « **Reply #36 on:** October 18, 2010, 01:50:24 PM »

Nice! Never been that route either. There are a Lot of lakes there!
Bancroft I was at this summer, but not on my bike.
It is a long way for me (even in a car). It would be nice if it was a circuit?

Tintop · « **Reply #37 on:** October 18, 2010, 02:31:20 PM »

didn't see either of these ON members on the list -

P_Camps, Toronto

HedNut · « **Reply #38 on:** October 18, 2010, 04:21:22 PM »

Ooo...there's more! Great... and hey... if it's far for me...I'll just have to make a weekend out of it!! WoohoooO!

You may want to edit your 1st post and add the list (and update it) there so it is easy for everyone to find.

HedNut · « **Reply #42 on:** October 19, 2010, 05:58:40 AM »

Hey Hey! Thanks for the Vote!

And My actual location is HANMER, Ontario Canada.... which is 20 minutes north of Sudbury... but I usually just always say Sudbury...cause nobody knows where Hanmer is.... even half of the Sudburians...ahahah
CHEERS!

Tom in Newcastle......Ontario · « **Reply #43 on:** October 19, 2010, 06:19:27 AM »

Boner............I can think of 3 or 4 others from Ontario..........instead of continuously adding to your list,why not just let the

others from Ontario catch up to this thread and if the want to follow it they will,by clicking on the notify at the bottom......

Just my 2 cents.

Also found a 63 if you are interested......http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-motorcycles-street-cruisers-choppers-1963-Honda-150cc-W0QQAdIdZ236251823

Boner · « **Reply #44 on:** October 19, 2010, 07:24:46 AM »

Good call on the post of interested riders, I will do that asap. I will also add places mentioned.
Nice looking old Honda but I would like to pick up a 250 next then a 450 Hellcat then my Honda's would be complete. But first I have to complete my low budget rebuild of this 750

and my bobber.

Nobleton - guess that means you're familiar with Forks of the Credit, and the Hockley.

cookindaddy · « **Reply #47 on:** October 19, 2010, 05:47:25 PM »

Is the Forks open again?

cookindaddy · « **Reply #48 on:** October 19, 2010, 05:52:14 PM »

Maybe not:

BRAMPTON, ON. (June 15, 2010) – Starting mid-July 2010, the Region of Peel will begin stabilization of road and embankment works on Forks of the Credit Road in Caledon. Work is expected to continue to November 2010. Traffic will be restricted to local access only.

Anyone know if it is open and what they have done to it?

Haven't been through there this year, so not sure. Just mentioned it because it has always been a local favorite, as well as one of mine.
