Topic: 2011 World Championship of Custom Bike Building - CB750s take #1 and #2

[Terry in Australia]

You'd wanna wave fast then mate, I've passed cars on it at 45 MPH, and that aint flat out!

[m in sc]

terry, you got a link to the build on that? my 2 stroke buddies would love that thing. sick!!!

[754]

 I dont get why anyone on 2 wheels would not respect other 2 wheelers (bicycles)
 Maybe I read that wrong and you just meant you dont wave.
 I am usually on 2 wheels, and a lot of that around town is on bicycles.. having our Monday Nite Cruiser Ride  tonite..

[Gearheadgreg]

  I can never understand why any motorcyclist would put down another motorcyclist's bike.  Yea we all have different taste's in style and manufacture.  Being different is what motorcycling is all about to me.  As long as everyone has two wheels on the road and the wind in yer face that's all that really matters.
       Oh, and if you don't have a turbocharger on yer bike, well yer just not as cool as me.  But i'll still talk to ya!  LOL !!   

Blue71Turbo,,Checked your bike out a few months ago on your thread, Beautiful Bike!!! Big fan of Forced induction myself and NOS.,,,well.......this is my riding helmet.,,,,Atmospheric correct slogan LOL!!!

[WarwickE36]

Terry, the lines on that bike suck IMO...

and whats with the reflectors on the pedals ... LAME

JOKES bwahahaha cool moped, how fast will it go w.o.t.? my buddy has a huffy with a 50 cc motor on it.  it was scary at 30+ mph

G'Day Mark, how are you mate? Nah, no build thread, I just got bored over my Christmas leave in 2008 and built this one, after a mate bought my single engined bicycle I built a year prior. It is quite frightening to ride at speed, but it's scary fun.

My cuz is an ex- Suzuki factory trained 2 stroke specialist, and he's going to tune it to the max, and one day (barring personal tragedy/divorce/illness/massive floods that has prevented us over the last 2 years) we're taking it to Lake Gairdner in South Australia to run it on the salt flats.

I spotted some nitrous kits on EBay recently, so as long as they can be sent in the mail, I'll install a couple, at the moment it'll do around 50 MPH with my 280 pounds (of pure muscle..........) on it, but we're hoping to go a lot faster on the salt after some tuning. I do have some more pics I can send you, if you like? Cheers, Terry.

Hey, I'm an artist man, just because you don't "get" it, doesn't mean that it's not frickin' gorgeous, the reflectors on the pedals make it go faster and the chicks love it.................

Oh, hang on a minute, you were just making fun? Damn! We artists are touchy baastards, sorry about that, you wound me right up then, I better go take a nap...........

[scunny]

geez your a sarcastic bastard Terry. nice scoot by the way.

Me? Sarcastic? WTF? I'm the least sarcastic bloke I know Scunny, but then again, most of the blokes I know are really sarcastic bastards! Oh, and thanks for the compliment, it's a great bike, I must fire it up again soon and take it for a blast. Cheers, Terry.

[BLUE71TURBO]

Hey, what's wrong with bicycles mate? 

      Terry, that bike is BADA$$ !   I so want one !   Hey that front tire looks really bad.      Looks like the
       tread is separating ! You need to change that tire, even if you guy's down there ride upside down !!   

[Terry in Australia]

Ha ha, you're right Jon, I must change that tire, as it's at least 14 years old. I did think about what bert Munro would have done, but Aussie shoe polish costs more than Taiwanese tires, so I guess I can afford to do the safe thing.............

[andy750]

..... at the moment it'll do around 50 MPH with my 280 pounds (of pure muscle..........) on it, but we're hoping to go a lot faster on the salt after some tuning....

LOL thats a funny one Terry...tell another.. 

...if YOU can ride 50 mph on THIS bike with those 14 yr old tires (or any tires for that matter) and prove it by video that would be like snowstorms at Alice Springs  ...yeah I know aint going to happen!

Ha ha, well I think I've previously told you what I think of your opinion Andy, but I tell you what, you come over to Oz and I'll let you take it for a ride, (if you've got the 'nads.......) it's got an electronic speedo on it that measures up to at least 50 MPH, and you can see for yourself if I'm fibbing. Put your money where your mouth is, or keep it firmly shut. 

[andy750]

..... Put your money where your mouth is, or keep it firmly shut. 

Thats exactly what I was asking from you  ....I can smell the BS from here 

[754]

I have a bicycle with a Stihl 051 on the back, had it running, but it needs guards and a bit of blending on the rear 120 tooth sprocket. I made both the 120 T rear , and the 10 T front. I cut the rear on the mill with an endmill so it is not perfect tooth form, the front I took a 10T and had to make a 7 tooth internal spline to fit on the stock centrifugal clutch.
 I got pissed at it a few years back and tucked it away.
 It is built for oval track vintage flattrack.
 If that think does not break 50 mph I would be very surprised.. 89cc.. with maybe 8ish hp..

[m in sc]

do it and film it terry. i beleive you but want to see it. that things awesome.

[Terry in Australia]

Thanks Guys, Andy has a bee in his bonnet regarding another matter, so I'm not interested in his opinion, but just so you all know, those are two 80cc two stroke engines (160cc in total) in a package that weighs around 20 Kg.

The lay shaft isn't there just to tie the two engines drive lines together, it allows me to alter the gearing as I see fit, so the standard gearing (as you'll see in the pic) has been upped considerably.

With 160cc's of two stroke power in a 20 Kg package with much higher gearing, it'd be terribly disappointing if it didn't do at least 50 MPH. Andy claims to be a scientist, but he's obviously not an engineers arse. Cheers, Terry. 

[WarwickE36]

I bet it'll do 50+ my buddy's 50cc did 30 next to a car on flat ground.  A little more downhill 

[Roach Carver]

I dont care how.fast it goes. A bike with lines like that will get you all the ladies. Those first two bikes are nice also.

[23tbucket]

You guys got toooo much free time.....

Darn Mo-peds.....



he he

[fastbroshi]

No, Aussies ride backwards.  He's been doing a crapload of burnouts with his arse on the handlebars.  Don't ask me how the "rear" wheel is driven though. 

And don't anybody pay attention to Retro's tough talk, he's got arms like a wee little 'roo, he won't hurt nobody

[pat english]

i like the chopper one the best.but theyre both cool..i dont really care how my engine was made either.dont care if its a 69 or a 78..both the same to me..

Thanks mate, and I appreciate your concern for my well being, but I think that pic might be a bit misleading, that tire isn't badly perished or "bald", it's a weird tire, it's "knobby" on the edges, and "slick" on top, but it's not worn out. I can't snap any more pics at the moment as it's parked at my cousin's house 200 miles away, but here are a couple more pics, not that they help all that much. The last one shows the "gearing up" that I mentioned earlier. Cheers, Terry.

[pat english]

this thread was way longer then i thought..my previous post seems out of place after looking at the whole thread...now its onto pedal bikes...maybe ill go back to keeping my mouth shut...carry on.

[Terry in Australia]

You don't have to keep your maff shut Pat, but it will stop you from dribbling onto your keyboard!
