20K It's a nice bike but dear Gav might have to wait a wee while to get that kind of money.
It makes the '78 that Jonesy just got out of Sweden for 5k au look pretty cheap. I wonder if the banana swingarm on Gavins bike is right for pre '78?

there was another ccm for sale in the west just recently ,wonder what that went for

[dirtrumpy]

Hi Mark,
            Yes, $20k is not a small amount of money, but as with all of Gavins toys you know you're getting a top quality, well maintained and well sorted race bike.

Can anyone tell me what the CCM 77/78 models are like to ride?- all going nicely and the beast is performing as it should etc. I have always had a real soft spot (or is that a hard spot) for these beautiful machines.
I can still see Lester Crowe thundering around Amaroo MX circuit on his yellow tanked CCM giving the" Big Names"  a real fight.

I think you mean Lester Rowley who campained the CCM in Mr MX, it was cool seeing that 4 sroke running up there with the 2 strokes.

Yep that sounds better Johnnie. I'm not sure where Crowe came from!! It has been a long sunday.
Was he from SA? Always had a lot of respect for riders on these type of bikes - Banks,Aberg, Aird,Rowley etc holding out against the 2 strokes. Now I just need to find $20K!

Only time I've actually seen one raced was way back when, at the Jilliby track. All I really remember was the unreal noise it made and the bleeding great roost from the behind when it was opened up.
I've just rattled the piggybank and I've got about $10.55.....do you think an offer would be in order?

Yeah Lester Rowley was from SA, you may have been thinking of Les Crowe from NSW i think.
I'd love a late 70's CCM to race, there's a couple on UK ebay at the moment.

im sure he.d want  a min  15 k for it .

[dirtrumpy]

Sold

[Captain Bilko]

I hope you got top dollar for it mate. 

[dirtrumpy]

Was a good bike for a good price. Even better is that I believe it will stay on the track in NSW.
