O.K., guys, here is my report. I have to apologize for....
...the picture quality. The lighting was extreme and I used a semi-manual
camera, which made a lot of pics come out poor. It took me a while to
get some into useable status.
... the delay in reporting. Reason see above
Anyway:
I took the 81 CBX down and it performed flawless. As we rode in a group and a 1957 BMW R26 was setting the pace, I was getting 40 mpg
Although they said the show had more entries than in previous years, it definitely wasn't the case in the Japanese category. Among the few were two pairs (!) of immaculate Kawasaki Z1s. Each pair was owned by one owner, respectivley. Missed you, Mike Hall!
Another highlight was Steve Passwater's awesome CB400F. I talked to him just before I left. He owns one of the best 79 CBXes I have ever seen
In the Euro/Italian section, the overall show winner
Another show winner , same owner, out of the competition section
More Euro/Italian..
The English contingency was by far the largest. Maybe, because last year, A BSA took all the honors..
The Rickman brothers were among this year's Hall Of Fame inductees. Their bikes had a special section:
These two pics are the same bike. Just shows how bad the lighting was.
The Competition class
Ignorant me, has no idea, why this was in the comp class. Maybe Larry knows..
Finally, on the way out, I saw that I was not the only one with a CBX. The owner of this nicely done 79 was from Columbus.
If you see anything in the background of one of the pictures, that you would like to examine closer, let me know. I may have a shot of it.
