At long last I can post it. I have always loved CBX1000's and thought they would make an insane streetfighter, but they rarely come up so I dismissed it as a pipe dream.
Then, one random day on PSB, an off topic post alerted me to a project CBX just waiting to happen. I could not afford it at the time, and my wife (Shuboop) refused to let me have a project bike until she had a new engine in her bike. Something I also could not afford.
Something had to go, but what? My landCruiser. But it was quite broken. I advertised it as cheap as I could as is and began to fix it up in the mean time.
Would the CBX be snapped up before I could get my grubby mitts on it? I contacted this PSB member with my concerns and a gentlemans deal was made pending the sale of the Landcruiser, which seemed to be pending me getting it fixed, which seemed to be pending on money which I did not have. On top of that, the whole deal was resting on me sourcing a new motor for my wifes GPX. Then I crashed my R1. Damn.
One of the first people to contact me as I lay in hospital was the owner of the CBX. He told me not to worry, the bike was not going anywhere and to just concentrate on healing. He was also one of the first to visit me in hospital. Thankyou so much Jamanthi. You are a Gentleman among Gentlemen.
I got out of hospital, the Landcruiser sold, a new engine was sourced and fitted, and a date was set to pick the big girl up.
I have HUGE plans...

Count em. Thats right. 1,2,3,4,5 and 6
