              HeHeHe yourself. ::) :D Yeah, I knew the comment about the SL350s was coming, I just didn't know When! ::)

             NOW, let me tell you what you've done. My wife said that if YOU'D bring a truck up here, you could haul off anything you could get in that truck! :(
And, I know she'd do it too! ::) Seems like I might stay pretty close to home, as much as possible, IF I want to keep my stuff. :D ::) ;)

 Wonder how much of that CBX is there, any idea?

                               Take care Tim, Bill ;)

         Okay Tim, NOW you've done it!  >:( :D Ya know how, sometimes you hear a song and then you can't get it out of your head?
Well, now, I've got these thoughts about a CBX and I can't get them out of my head! ::) :D

        As far as CBXs go, I've always thought that the 6 into 1 DG exhaust sure looks good! 8) I've heard from several sources that the 6 into 1 pipe doesn't work as well as the 6 into 2! :o  I sure would have thought it would be the opposite though. Check this bike out, seems like it might be a deal, if a person had the money and it didn't go too high!

         Might be cool, if (and that's a BIG "if") I had the bucks!

Niiiiice!  But what's up with that red fender?  Needs some chrome plastic plating.

Don't worry, that red fender was just for mock up. There is an aluminum one on there now. 

Ever adjust 48 valves? It's a #$%*.

           Okay, now THAT is what I might be inclined to call a (as you put it) "Slightly Modified" CBX. ::) Like to see THAT one put through the paces! 8) ;)
