Default Interesting.... or to me at least...
After having her for about 4 years, this is the first time I ran into another RC51 on my way to work. On HWY 880 and 237 in the Bay Area California.

And I though the RCs were rare.....

it wasn't me.


but i've noticed that as well in PA... i see precious few of them, which is kinda cool . course, it sucks when it comes to service. most honda dealers have next to NO experience with them and most ma & pop bike shops don't even know that the thing is at first glance.

interesting enough the first time i saw/ heard one was on 101 heading to SF from monterey for the S&M concert back in 2000. didn't know what the hell it was but it sounded so angry and i loved it...

I am assuming by S&M concert you are refering to Metallica. I will have to admit that it is by far my favorite music album. I use it for workout motivation and marathon training motivation. It has really grown on me over the years.
