Hi Mike

Yeah its the kind of dog you would like to bring home. One thing about CCM they arrived with all the good bits already in the motor.

Not sure I am buying into the CCM mystique though. Hopefully my Cheney will be ready to go before Xmas. ::)

Errr, It's not a Cheney, it's a '74 CCM Marc. There is a Cheney in the background but you'd have to be pretty good to spot it!

Cheney Matchless perhaps....  Do I get a prize?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CCM-BSA-1974-500-GP-replica-CLASSIC-MX-VGC-/150470887751?pt=UK_Motorcycles

At £6000 that's good value for a bike of that quality will all those nice bits.  You certainly couldnt build one for that price, even if you hours rate was tuppance an hour.....

I wonder if it sold at £6K?

There is another one knocking about on ebay Uk, a '73, priced at £10k

as per the other thread.  That bike is mine.  It is in rolling thunder and ray's book.  Someone quick quick rode it in the 70s.  Anyone know who.....?  (the number is a bit of a help ~ no not Barry Sheene!))

At one particular race they weighed it three times as they couldnt believe how light it was.

The rider in question told me that he was leading a rather famous Suzuki rider until..... the new fangled ignition packed up!

Hence on those early bikes the factory riders often switched back to the old ignition set up to give themselves a better chance of finishing the race!
