Yes, Kudos Hondaman. The level of commitment and passion you have for these bikes and in wanting to document your wealth of knowledge to better serve the SOHC community is very inspiring. I can't wait to get a hold of a copy myself!

Mark, I'd definitely like to buy a copy. Hardback preferred if you decide to do one of those. Keep us posted -

Thanks,
Gordon

I can have a few hardcover versions made, but I think they will be pricey...  :-\

Im in for the first edition offered.  Cant wait! Could I get it signed too?

I've had a bunch of requests for signed copies.  ???
I can probably buy some and have them shipped to me, then to you, etc.
(Why would someone want me to write in their book? I'm just an old biker/engineer...).

Excited for this. What's it going to cover basically everything?

I hope so!  :o

Nice work HM!
Yes, that "nice" paper can price in at a shocking amount.
For me, plastic coated paper would be better. Seems I always get greasy prints on my manuals :D
Sign me up for 2 copies.

If you know of a source for something like that without it being like the synthetic paper's cost, I'm all ears.  ???

I'll be finding out: if Amazon and Lulu have an AUS factory site, it won't be bad. If not, I'll look into "book rate" (probably 6 months' delivery time!) for the lowest cost.

I was being conservative.  It's more like 40-ish depending on the interpretation of some of the posts.  :)

I've actually done that!  :D
Over the last year, if someone asked me a question about some part that I had finished already, I sent pieces of it in answer. The whole thing is half a gigabyte in size, though, so it's not like it can be posted anywhere.  :P

You oughtta see how long it took to upload to the publisher!
