For someone who says they are "not very good with a camera" you did a good job!

I love the line of Honda CBX's, wow, are they garage bikes or what eh? Beautiful nevertheless. :D

Thanks for sharing the photos and the story! I'm looking forward to seeing those in the Racing Gallery soon.

Hey, that Motocysz is looking pretty nice! ... sure entering the thing in MotoGP was beyond wishful thinking, but they seemed to be stacking all the cards in there favour with the promo stuff on their web-site (Eddie Lawson, etc putting in a good word for them). still plenty cool that they brought it too Laguna though! 8)

I think they need several MILLION just to purchase a spot on the GP grid and to make a HEAVY committment to race the entire race season before Dorna will let them enter the thing. Maybe in a few years they can do that... a little more investment $$ and it could be possible. I guess Dorna being Italian wants to keep with the early marriage tradition and make entering there race series sort of like a marriage dowry. welp, there's another reason i wont be getting married soon! :inlove: yelp - must work so i can afford a box of chocolates for the *right* girl :laughing:

Note for CBX fans... there's a CBX club chapter here in Calgary... I think Mike Briggs at Performance Cycle still owns his CBX. He's probably a guy worth calling for someone who is into those early 80s inline-6s. I liked them in the touring guise with fairing, which reminds me also that Chris Peris' uncle owned one (silver with two-tone blue stripes) and one year they redid all the decaling on it making replicas of the factory decal kit (they run a print shop and have graphic designers and such at the ready).

ok. i really gotta work.
