    Unless someone objects, I will break the tie today, because there is one photo that is totally sketchy for me....

    I will vote for Redman's dang fool, crazy old man, sketchy photo.....
    Every time I look at it, I see another bad thing...

    Four votes for the win...Redman!! What's next Dave...
    THanks foir the tally and thanks for the vote.
    I have slowed down on the sketchy stuff for a photo. Just the other day, you might have noticed, I took picture of bike next to a boat dock.... NEXT to a boat dock, not ON it, and it had a perfectly smooth transition onto the dock.

    Again, I have nothing prepaired in advance for a potentail theme-of-the-week, and I am about to leave for a good part of the afternoon, so I can work up somthing later this aftgernoon, well, unless Dork or Kerry come up with something before then.

    THanks Again

      It was baffling, took me a minute to figure out why the front wheel was so wobbly. I remember thinking "I probably shouldn't continue" but I did. I didn't go as fast as the speed limit and I decided to kind of lean forward to improve traction a bit. Then when I got home I saw that the entire luggage rack had bent under the weight. Like a person sat on it. It was really sketchy, yeah.
      Yah, maybe you could have taken one of the 3 bags out, and lashed it to the handlebars to better distribute the weight.

            Sounds good to me. I was out of town Friday into yesterday evening as well...

            Regarding my “shocking” sketchy photo... those buckles are rated for 150-210 lbs, depending on the cable size used... I had two in use (one out of sight in that pic.)
            Safety glasses were worn, and the spring stop was removed with needle nose pliers... still sketchy though.

            Those cable buckles are all over in industry, holding up duct, lights, equipment, etc. very handy little things.

              Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

                        What a great pic!

                        Hey, I saw a CBX at a stoplight today. It was white with blue pin stripes and had a fairing. That's only the second one I've ever seen. Not as nice looking as yours, but still neat to see one.

                            Thanks, Roger.
                            Mine's a '79. The white model with the fairing is from '82.
                            Different strokes and all that but i was never a fan of the fairing model '81 or '82. Diverts attention from the engine.
