  1. Re: My CJ750, or the story of how i came to be in China

    Another wee update if i may.

    I've been running sidecar tours in guilin for the last three months and it's been going pretty well. I've put another 8000km on the CJ in that time, almost entirely...
  2. Re: My CJ750, or the story of how i came to be in China

    I don't know the big guy but i know Gael who is sitting in the bike. He runs Beijing Sideways, lovely, easy going guy.

    Not sure about the vintage plate, probably just there to look cool while...

  4. Re: My CJ750, or the story of how i came to be in China

    Since my dear CJ750 refuses to die, i thought i'd keep this thread alive too. In fact i can't believe i haven't updated in 3 years.

    The front brake i was talking about a few posts above is...
  5. Re: My CJ750, or the story of how i came to be in China

    Great, another tasteful addition to the diverse world of motorcycles! I love the hot couple standing behind it.

    Looking at that now, i'm thinking that actually having a little light on the top of...

    Ok cheers for that! Be sure to let us know how it goes, i'll post my findings here as well!
  7. Re: My CJ750, or the story of how i came to be in China

    Hi Jimbo, thanks for the reply!

    How are you connecting the original lever to the master cylinder under the tank? If it's by cable, are you not worried that the length required will result in...
  8. Re: My CJ750, or the story of how i came to be in China

    It is well known that the CJ 750 has appalling brakes. Braking distances are such that on a biking holiday i'll usually start braking mid-way through the trip in order to arrive home safely a couple...
  9. Re: My CJ750, or the story of how i came to be in China

    Lao jia hou, you just made my day! I love your idea and the product picture just sells it! Perhaps a cable connecting the throttle to a variator on the mirrors would ensure that the vibrations are...
  10. Re: My CJ750, or the story of how i came to be in China

    Yes, i love to ride it solo sometimes. I'm enjoying it now that i'm still in suzhou, because when i move to shanghai i don't think i'l be able to do that anymore.

    The standard square profile tires...
  11. Re: My CJ750, or the story of how i came to be in China

    Ha ha, yes, riding motorbikes is part of some research i'm doing on the long term effects of intense crotch vibration. For the R&D staff, experience is more important than qualifications. Luckily i...

  13. Re: My CJ750, or the story of how i came to be in China

    Another wee sidecar update with pictures of this weekend. I've been riding the CJ solo for a couple of weeks now and am enjoying it more and more. It's been almost two years since the last time i...
  14. Re: My CJ750, or the story of how i came to be in China

    Hi DT, for sure i'll give you a shout if i'm in the area for a weekend. I sometimes go up to yizheng, right close to nanjing, as that's where the galaxy dealer is. Keep in touch, and good luck with...
  15. Re: My CJ750, or the story of how i came to be in China

    Nice! I've often thought about how to mount my push bike onto a motorbike, but never considered having it that far back! You'd want to make sure you don't forget it's back there (in traffic)

  16. Re: My CJ750, or the story of how i came to be in China

    I would have loved to have seen that! Although after a few years in china, i must say it probably wouldn't impress me quite as much anymore. They get very creative over here too!
  17. Re: My CJ750, or the story of how i came to be in China

    Sounds like some cool projects to work on! UAVs are sweet. I do most of my design work by sketching, then do the modelling and detailing in Solidworks and rendering in Hypershot, to end up with...
  18. Re: My CJ750, or the story of how i came to be in China

    Hi Andy,

    No problem at all, post away!

    The move to china, like i said in the first post, was mainly to get one of these sidecars. I had to have one. I also wanted to see something different...

    Thanks for the comments guys, and the help CC. I edited my post to embed the video.
  20. Another argument for sidecars

    Say what you will about sidecars, they're certainly handy for hauling big heavy things:

  21. Re: My CJ750, or the story of how i came to be in China

    I have dreams, but no plans... 4 weeks holidays a year isn't enough for that kind of riding.
    One day though, i would love to convert the sidecar into a sleeper/camper device. It would sleep 1 and...
  22. Re: My CJ750, or the story of how i came to be in China

    Hi Dan

    As i rarely get more than a week's holiday at a time, i haven't managed to go very far on CJ yet.
    In 2008 i rode out to taiping lake in Anhui province for may holiday (pictures in first...
  23. My CJ750, or the story of how i came to be in China

    In the summer of 2006 i came to china for a month and it was during my two weeks in Xiamen that i saw my first CJ. “A boxer-engined, WWII sidecar? Here?!?” Then next day i saw another one, and then...
