Title: Looking for the owner of this CCM
Post by: Stan S on December 27, 2010, 09:26:50 pm
Does anyone know the owner of this CCM. Some years ago he sent me his CCM factory handbook and photo's of his bike which if I remember correctly was originally ridden to some championships by the Dutch national champion at the time.
I think his name was John and he was living in W.A. but I lost contact with him and would like to return them.

The two CCM's I know of went to Qld then back again in the 8o's and have homes back in WA.
I have just spoken to AR and he doesnt think its his.
It must be another CCM.
Though a Nigel ......?  did own one for a short time and his ex sold a box (big) parts for $100.
I know who would of grabbed at that.  ;D
We will track it down,!! its just time.
The two here where $2000 and $3500 back in the day..Especially when you could of just bought a Japanese make for your hard earned dollar.
cheers for now Alison

Hi,
If anyone knows this bike, looks like 75 with leading axle forks, I would like to know the frame number/sequence, my 75  doesn't have a rear frame loop, over the mudguard , I'd like to know if it was meant to have one,  or has someone cut it off, does any one know the frame number when they changed to no rear loop like the late 75's and  76's
cheers

G'day Stan
Interesting, I bought a 95 rotax ccm in 97 from a shop in Cairns. A Dutchman brought 3 into oz, raced one in mx, put a light kit on another and got it road registered and had the other on consignment at the shop I bought it from. Apparently he travelled between oz and home every few years and raced on the European circuit. First name was John. Will look to see if I have anything in my files. Going to Adelaide next week so if I can chase up anything let me know

Dutch national champion at the time.

the guy i am looking for bought the bike from the Netherlands himself. And I think his first name was John.

this "Dutch Bastard" as he was affectionalty mentioned in VMX#2 keeps coming up in CCM conversations  ??? ...

There were a few importers Clem Nunn WA,Blair Harley NSW & Maico agent,Lester Rowely SA and Modak Melbourne..numbers imported in the 70's unknown  :(

Firko I maybe wrong here but this pic looks to me to be the track Billabong near Inverell  #105 is on CCM he was from Brisbane, I dont think those boys got down to Singleton much but all those guys did race that Inverell event which was sadly a one off. I maybe wrong but #20 could be Barry Patterson BSA and the guy who cant see is Patrick Kenny on a 350 motorsport
