QUOTE It makes me think back to that white CBX those many years ago. It has flaws and 43k miles on it but there's no way I'm NOT going to buy this bike.

You mean like these two ?

My 1990 in the background, my mates 1981 CBX infront.
I wish he'd sell me the d-mned thing !!

I always thought the CBX was a neat bike. You never see them here, tho.

That was somewhere around '81 when I rode it, I can't recall, but he had just gotten it back from having center punched a woman who ran a red light. I still remember that ride like it happened yesterday.

Gotta love Lou Reed.

I saw him And Patty Smythe live on a rotating stage venue, they both were so high they wouldn't let the stage rotate
