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... -

Hi Jimbo, thanks for the reply!

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...

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

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)

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!

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.
