Honda SOHC Race Bike Gallery
« on: January 11, 2010, 04:56:35 AM »
I have looked through these pages and not come across a place to put our pictures of the race bikes that we love. Hopefully this can be the first of many.


These were both taken at the Isle of Man TT back in 1980. Sorry they're a bit grainy.

There are a few more of that bike on photobucket. I'll look them up and see about posting them.

I'm loving the images of the race bikes and looking forward to seeing some of the Italian and Dutch bikes sometime.
