ecosse... 350s spawn 400s.   ;)


 :D I was thinking genetics; if one 350 is green and the other 350 is silver would it not be a green/silver 175? Maybe it's the black sheep and is an CR Elsnore.


OK, so this one's a 250.


edit for self promotion: my post count is now the year of my 550, 1974.

I suppose I should change my avatar now  :-\ :'(

...not ... mine.... any..... more...... :'(

But I'm not too sad as the new owners are obviously hugely enthusiastic, much more than I had become.

Hush,

Do the Popo aka Johnny Law aka the MFP give you any hassle for rolling with the emergency lights and siren kit? 

That's a beaut!

No haven't had any adverse reactions from the "FUZZ" yet but have yet to be pulled over by them and there is only one Police bike  (BMW) in Napier so chances of running into him are small.
Bike was a gift from my son who is a serving Police Officer so hope taht helps my case. ;D
I am in contact with quite a few other guys rebuilding these retired Police bikes, mainly Yamaha FJ750's but a few CB650PZ's and one CB360, the general feeling is that as these bikes came into the country (New Zealand) built up as Police bikes then there is not much they can do about it, but I'm not going to push my luck. :D
As long as I lay off the siren and lights and don't do anything dopey like pull someone over I don't think there is too much of a problem. ;D
I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

First time voter. First of all I would be proud to ride any of these bikes. But, it came down to Loonymoon and Hush. Although I too lean towards cafe's, Loonymoons bike with that Olive Green paint brings back pleasant memories and it looks very nice. On the other hand Hush's Cop bike commands respect on the road and quite honestly you don't see many, (old cop bike's that is). Loonymoon lost points for that carrier, Hush made points for that siren, and on a bike , who would'nt want one. Hush got my vote.

I must admit, I voted for Carmens 350 and more often than not, the bike I vote for is useually the winner.
Had Carmens bike not been in it, Danny would have got my vote with Hush's cop bike a very very very close second.
Well done Dan. 8) 8) 8) 8)

I voted for Volkswagendans' as I could see the massive amount of work he had put into his creation--breathtaking. :)
Thanks for those who voted for the Copper Chopper ;D from junk pile to very ridable bike I'm just pleased to have such a fun SOHC Honda to own and ride.
Now what's on offer for April? ;D
