The correct response should have been "It's marty's bike" because I don't think any of your bikes have ever been more or less prone than any others you've owned to be in pieces in your garage, though that state of dismantlement is a given. :) Nev..

Looks like you had a ball of fun! FYI you can buy the NoSex for around ~$30k, 2nd. hand, granted its cheap v's what it cost new, but i will pass. It was origional design by Pinnifarina of Italy, and hahonda *copied* [reverse engineered somewhat] a 348 and went on its own path with it. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The worst welding I have ever seen in my life was on a Ferrari 348. It looks like it was stick welded by a tafe student after a pissy lunch. Give me an NSX any day. Fraser

Don't take to much concern from *looks* of the actual weld, even if it was just tack-welded it has lots of strength. NEVER heard of any coming apart, PAPS from Mt.Isa can back me up, he drives his all through the inner Queensland heat, dust, rough etc. |
