Hi
I am involved with a band 'This R 2 Tone' who are playing UK next Saturday 4th August at a Venue called the Junction, Leeman Road
York YO26 4XH

Alan Fisher regional rep, Paul Pursy Moto Mental Turbo and myself plan to be there. Maybe Steve Blackburn, Dave Crawford and Alan Easton regular European and and UK Rally crew may make it too.........

Any CBX'ers in the area please feel free to join what should be a fun night of Ska!!!

The band headlined the Edinburgh New Year celebrations in 2006

They have supported Deacon Blue and the Proclamers at various UK Festivals, they are a top notch band. Also I will not be playing drums on this occasion....

Write up!!!

Post by gogigscotland »

Yep it was a great trip to meet with Alan Fisher and Paul Pursey 8)

Here is a wee write up for the record a great weekend thanks guys...

Highlights:
Got a chance to see Alans racing CBX Sidecar outfit in the flesh (or naked as the pictures show) and also to hear the straight through racin exhaust!!!!

1566

Alan and his son James plan another outing in a few weeks time at Cadwell Park.

Alans garage is like an Alladins cave to a CBX'er with his specials including a rare Moto Martin Honda 750 chassis in which he has shoe horned in a CBX motor. 8) 8)

1567

1568

An artist was even commissioned to paint in oils Alan's other award winning Moto Martin 1280 on the garage wall 8) 8) 8)

1569

The real thing!!!!! :lol: :wink:


1570


I also saw for the first time Alan's huge and I mean huge collection of silverware from his sidecar racing days (Alan used to passenger world champion Steve Webster) covering just about every circuit you can imagine including the Isle of Man TT it was fantastic. 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

A great dinner cooked by Alan's wife Jan and then it was off into York for the evening out.
As it happened the gig happened to be a bit on the rough side of town but not to be put off we just got stuck in and had a really good night!!!

Back to Alan's very late and after a browse through his racing photo albums we called it a night about 4 pm (a bit like Marlinton or Morganton eh Mike B)

It is always great to meet up with CBX mates and it was well worth travelling the hundreds of miles to do so!!

The next planned outing is our Moto Martin CBX trip to France (see other thread) which we are all lookin fwd to.

I have added a few of the night time social for fun :oops: :oops:


Alan considers another 'Special' on the way through the wrong side of town but he sadly just missed out it was sold......to Paul (Moto Mental Turbo).. :cry:

1571

Alan Fisher is on the right with glasses :wink: :wink:

1572

Finally Paul and Alan make up over the bicycle sale...... It is amazin the close frienships that you can make through CBX'ing..... :roll: :wink: :D :lol:

Cheers and all the best Gordon in Scotland :lol:

Thanks for the report and the pics, Gordon. Especially the shot of Alan's sidecar rig. I am intrigued. I expected something more along the lines of your's, in a monocoque design with the engine in the rear. Instead, he was able to fit the motor in the front, under the driver's chest. very interesting. What will the bodywork look like?

A post resurrected from oblivion, I know. I wonder, can anyone tell me which frame is being spoken of that Alan "shoe horned" a CBX engine into? The 69-78 series SOHC 750, or the 79-83 series DOHC 750 or the still later non-US DOHC cbx750 that we called the Nighthawk in the US? I realize it is a Martin frame, but for which one of these models? I have tried contacting Gordon and apparently he is no longer on the site. Thank you!
