Andy Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Surely a national media celebrity like yourself could afford that without even thinking about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big john Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Yip, I confess that I considered buying one last year, but decided to walk away from the CCM 350T, I have bought three other bikes since then... Big John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swooshdave Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 My eyes are scarred from that horrible red type. All caps too. Does no one have any shame anymore? I doubt anyone looking at a CCM Trials Bike needs the extra emphasis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not likely Jamie, this one will be legit, these are very sought after babies these CCMs , I remember when they first came out, amazing sound. Keep an eye, this guy want a bucket load for this one.

Guest majestyman340 Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Wonder if anyone drooling over this bike has actually ever owned one, or even ridden one for that matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure looks nice, but for that sort of money i'd be expecting the distinctive correct darker gold rims,correct exhaust etc. And the tyres,Funny Michelin X1's?? Dave Thorpe and Nick Jefferies i believe were 'works' riders. (maybe BJ knows more) I can still remember Thorpey's words 27 years on,when i asked what it was like...

(maybe BJ knows more) I can still remember Thorpey's words 27 years on,when i asked what it was like... Absolutely spot on Trickymicky, Thorpy and Nick Jefferies (now there is a really knowledgeable guy) did ride them for Alan Clews's CCM concern back in the later 1970's. Thorpey had Dick Clayton virtually follow him round the SSDT (on the road, I would imagine) with another CCM with parts shoved up his riding jersey! I wonder why? I asked Mick Grant last year sometime if I should buy one and he said quite categorically to keep my money in the bank account! They were a bit special and to answer Majestyman340, yes I had ridden two in my past, one belonging to Mel Ross Snr from Forfar and the other a guy called Dougie Watson from Airdrie. Both had them brand new and I doubt if either of these chaps kept them longer than about 9 months before moving them on. I have to admit, I liked the CCM, but I have to admit it would not have been a match for my then new 325 Bultaco mod.199. In saying that from a rarety value, yes I would have one, but not at such steep prices, I don't reckon (IMHO) they are worth paying much more than 3K GBP in any condition. But as I say that's my opinion, I know they are all now going for double that amount. Big John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee harris Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 saw one at the exmoor trial at easter. sounded nice. looked like a jcb on a formula 1 circuit.

chewy Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Thats it ..blame the bike! my memory aint brilliant but...the CCM was more challenging by far than the Fantic to ride ; has this changed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinshockdude Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 As with all old rare bikes,we look at them through rose tinted spectacles,i remember riding one of these back in the day, it was BLOODY AWFUL compared with the bikes of the time,it did look and sound good though.
