Hi CBXers,
I thought I'd give you an update on the Books ... as I've seen some worrying Auctions lately!?! Copies of the "CBX Book II" are SOLD OUT around the World in all Markets I sent them to (eg. Australia, South Africa, France, Germany, Holland,etc) but some copies are still available from Louis Mintrone's at http://www.usedcbxparts.com, and a few boxes also remaining at Jan Ringnalda's (ICOA, at http://www.cbxclub.com). These two guys have gone above and beyond the call of duty/friendship and helped me a load by distributing the Books in USA.
Some of the annoying things I have seen with the "CBX Book II" ...
- eBay Seller asking US$250.00 for "CBX Book II" ... http://www.ebay.com/itm/The-CBX-Book-ii ... SwIgNXwEIX. Is someone 'in the know' trying to rip off the CBX Community. Some unsuspecting CBXer that has heard that the original red 'CBX Book' is making big money could be confused by this Advert/Auction. PLEASE spread the word to your CBX Buddies that there are still some copies of the "CBX Book II" available in USA, and some in N.Ireland!
- Someone paid $90.00 for a used "CBX Book II" on eBay ... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-CBX-Book- ... 7675.l2557. Why would someone pay $90.00 for a USED Book that is still available NEW for $70.00!?!
PLEASE Folks, spread the word to your CBX Buddies, that the "CBX Book II" is still available for only US$50.00 from Jan or Louis. BUT also tell them they will not last for ever!!!
Thanks guys.
Best, IAN

Ian, i would also be concerned that the seller of the $250.00 copy is using your name in his auctions.
In checking his "other items for sale" your name is just under the header of all three ads.

An unsuspecting buyer may think you are somehow associated.

And while i am at it....the same seller has $500.00 "Works Performance" shocks for sale for $250.00.
Sure look like $90.00 Emgo shocks to me.

I met someone a couple weeks ago who found CBX Book I at a used book fair,I think he said $25 ...he bought it for his dad who doesn't have a CBX but loves bikes...
