Kewl, I will have to show my kids the pics.  Those are some really clean looking pictures from that long ago.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

Cool!

Here are some pictures from the new Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter of the Apollo landing sites with high enough resolution to see the descent stages that were left behind on the surface.

If you click where it says "larger image" you can see the trail left by the astronauts as they walked back and forth setting up instruments on the Apollo 14 mission.
