LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Café 450

Good read on the CB450 DOHC Honda CB450 in OBA 77. I had one for a few years, then made it into a Café Racer in about 2000. It was quite easy to do; seat, tank, fairing, clip-ons etc. I rode it for a few years, then on-sold it. An attention getting bike!

I would like to congratulate you for the article on Dave Basham in OBA 78. It was fantastic as I and many other young lads followed his riding in the mid ‘60s to his retirement and it was great to read many stories we did not know. The photos were fantastic; ‘Ah yes that style was defiantly Dave Basham’. I have thought of a few more brilliant people in the SA motor cycle scene that you might like to interview if they agree:

John Boulger: Speedway solos. John rode with the Aussie team in UK and was inducted into the Speedway Australia Hall of Fame in 2011.

Len Bowes: Speedway sidecar champion.
