1957 MV Agusta CSS (Competition Super Sport), 2013 All Italian Car/Bike Display, Tomago House, Tomago Road, Tomago, Newcastle, NSW.
This is just a little jump, my bigger ones were never recorded. There was one I in particular I wish had been, when our little gang of juvenile delinquents had found a barrel jump setup somebody had made at the Norfolk Airport. I don't remember now how many 50-gallon drums there were, all lined up, plenty enough to be intimidating. There was a single sheet of plywood as a launch ramp, another at the far end as a landing ramp, and a few more loosely laid along the top in the event of insufficient velocity.
Kevin Pasternak had this way of goading me into things, things I shouldn't have tried but we all knew that he wouldn't make it, being oversized as he was on an undersize bike like he had. He'd gotten me to do stuff before so I should have been able to say no but I'd survived the others and jumping those barrels would give real bragging rights.
Never having done this before, I wanted to be sure I had sufficient velocity to get over those iffy loose sheets on top so I backed WAY off and got a good running start. The bike was a Yamaha CT-1, 175cc of rampant accelleration (I'd ported it myself to factory specs and bolted on a Bassani expansion chamber), it got going in a big hurry. When I hit the ramp it bent in and deformed some, launching me a little higher than I needed or expected but I had plenty of speed to carry me... and carry me... and carry me... way beyond all of the barrels, beyond the landing ramp and well out onto the rutted hardened clay beyond.
Unfortunately I hadn't made many handling mods at that point, it was moderately acceptable at best and definitely not suited for return-from-space no-water splashdowns. As I remember it, I stayed upright even though both front and rear suspension bottomed out with a vertebrae-crushing jolt. I remember fighting to stay up, then the next thing I remember is Kevin running up and saying "Wow! Do it again!" I think that might be the first time I ever used "I might be crazy but I'm not stupid!"
I do wish that one had been captured. I still might not be able to watch it but now there's YouTube :^)
I bought this bike about eight years ago and more or less forgot about it. A couple of weeks ago I attended a Jawa/CZ rally and was inspired to get the CZ running again.
The bike is complete but needs a new wiring loom and I´m changing the points and condensor just to be on the safe side.
Side Valve : Tree Speed Gearbox.
This machine usually has a chain and belt drive combination.
It uses a 350cc side valve engine, raleigh produced many engine configurations from the 698cc flat twins, 798cc V Twins to the 175cc, 248cc, 348cc, 498cc side valve engines and also the more modern 348cc and 498cc overhed valve singles.
They ceased production of motorcycles in 1933.
Raleigh then carried on to be a very successful bicycle manufacturer and were taken over by Tube Investments LTD, an engineering firm who had many connections in British engineering.
Astica en Enero de 2011. Recién comenzaba el año y unos amigos organizan un viaje a Valle Fértil a manera de micro vacaciones. Ellos viajarÃan en automóvil y yo en moto, tenÃa la esperanza de poder cargar el equipaje en el auto pero no pudo ser, asà que como siempre cargue todo sobre mi vehÃculo. En la estación de servicio nos encontramos con « Rulo « quien me acompaño junto a otro amigo una parte del viaje, algo asà como unos 60 km de aproximadamente 200.
Gracias a este viaje conocà uno de los lugares más lindos de mi provincia.
