I have got to tell you guys and gals this story. I have been riding motorcycles since I was around 14. I am 47 now. I have always had "sport bikes" lots of them. My last one was a Kawasaki Ninja 1000R. I sold this bike in 2000 to get a down payment on my house which I now live in. Two years after moving into the house, I bought a Harley Sportster. In 2006 I had back surgery and haven't rode the harley since. I sold the Harley recently and as a member of the Blue Knights was told I had six months to get another bike.

I go into work this morning and am talking to the rookie on how I want a Honda CBRXX Blackbird, but I cannot find one, as they quit making them in 2003. The Water and Sewer guy is there and says, I know where there is a crotch rocket for sale come on. We drive to the location and it is gone. He says, Lets go to this bike shop and just look around a bit. Keep in mind this guy knows nothing about bikes.

I say ok and head to the bike shop. I walk in the door and look to my right, and there sits a 1998 CBRXX Blackbird. I am at a loss for words as I have been looking for one of these for several years.

The salesman comes over and I talk him into the exact price I got for my Harley. I don't believe in coincidences, and felt this was just meant to be, I pick it up tomorrow and if I can figure out how to post pictures I certainly will.

Thanks for listening.

Just got in put about 85 miles on it and not a twinge in my back. I am back to biking. What an awesome ride. It cruises really nice at 65. I got home and my 18 year old told me my sister in law was here, and he told her, "he got a blackbird, I have no idea when he will be back. :D:D

I put 100 miles on it today, things are a bit sore. neck, shoulders, biceps.
Gotta build up those muscles again I guess.
