It takes all sorts.....

Last weekend came across this.
A mate acquired it as a restoration project. It's now roadworthy but still "work in progress".
Remarkably he took it to a Harley rally and won the award for Best Engineering, not something you can often say about a Honda Super Dream!

A friend of mine, now passed, bought the 'Cibie' Z-1300 engined Phaser back in the early '80's. He knew Royce(?)Creasy & Malcolm Newell quite well. Wrecked it out in Oz where he'd emigrated to. Did hear a while back it had come back to the UK for restoration.
Seemed outlandish at the time, but the modern maxi scooters are getting ever closer to the FF concept.

Wasnt there something many year back called a "Quaser"?

I'll have to take a look on the web.

Aha yes there was - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasar_(motorcycle)

Who needs a signature anyway......

If you look at the linked Wiki on FF motorcycles, there's a picture of the Cibie Z-13 Phaser that Bob had. Pretty sure he had it fitted with a dual seat.

I'll take a look Bru - think you may have mentioned to me that Bob had one of the Z-13 versions, many years ago.

My worst event was a Le Mans start at Brands production race a big field of top riders
The flag dropped dashed across the track on the bike and kicked... Nothing kept on kicking still nothing there was somebody else further up the track on Triumph Bonnie doing the same.then realised as I ran across the track and grabbed the bars I had knocked the advance retard lever to retard.. Got away with the Bonnie behind me trying to catch up dicing with the Bonnie who just happened to be in our team Mick Bool...
Comming into Clearways flat out ( long circuit) my gearbox seized held the bike until stopped the rear tyre was worn down to the canvas Mick came seventh.
Fool me I had removed the extra engine plate on the drive side to reduce weight ..you learn by your mistakes Mick thought what the Bl---y hell is he cracking so hard for.. Happy Days
