If you love the CBX - You have to have this...

[NobleHops]

Gents,

I just spent some quality time with the second CBX Book - the silver one. It is as incredible as the first.



So I want to put a plug in for the author, Ian Foster, a real gentleman and the most incredible ambassador for the CBX that we could ever have. Ian did an amazing job AGAIN, truly a labor of love in producing these, and you can still get this - unlike the Red book, which is long since sold out.

So a reminder - You can still buy this book. It's a bargain at $50 and it will give you many hours of enjoyment, without plugging its carburetors in between times you pick it up They cost US$50.00/Book, plus shipping. That's 442 pages of CBX goodness, history, manufacturing, racing, advertisements, specials and customs, and and and. There is also a DVD attached to the rear of the book allowing you to look at photos in much greater detail. It's a ton of stuff.

There are two places in the USA where these can still be found, before they start getting auctioned on eBay (for 6X the price, that is):

- From Jan Ringnalda (President of this very club) Email Jan at mrcbx@att.net and he can hook you up with a copy or two.

- And from Louis Mintrone of UsedCBXparts.com Louis can be reached at usedcbxparts@hotmail.com

Eeek, I totally forgot something: If you're in OZ or NZ or generally down under, Roland Skate (rol) has a few cases too, will save you considerable postage from the USA.

Ditto on the book. I didn't think the first could be improved. Not the first time I've been wrong!!!

I'd just like to make a post regarding Jan - I wanted a copy of the book, but with my living in the UK and it being a very heavy item, it meant shipping was always going to be expensive. When I placed my order Jan kindly offered to bring it across the Atlantic when he visited the UK - once here, he posted it at national rates, which saved a load. So - Thank you, Jan - you went above and beyond the call of duty to help me out - it is much appreciated! :)

Is this book still available?

[steve murdoch icoa #5322]

See the post above for a possible source.
The first one was/is long sold out so if you do find a copy it will be pricey.
Copies of the second edition are still available.

Forgive my ignorance, but how does Book II differ from the first? Is it truly just a 2nd edition, or is it a completely new book?

[steve murdoch icoa #5322]

There is a bit of carry-over but not a lot.
More photo/stories of bikes from owners around the world and more history about the planning and development from the early days of the bike.
Money well spent, imho.

Is the book still available posted to Canada?

[sixcount]

Just getting back into the CBX after a long break. Are either of these books still available?

[Louis]

I sell the books for IAN Foster. You can email me at usedcbxparts@hotmail.com or thru web page www.usedcbxparts.com.
Also Ian Foster has them listed on Ebay.

I just ordered one from Jan so they are still available as of a couple of days ago.
