Guys, please post photos of any new Pride and joy. Either a new car, car part, trophy, memorabilia, posters, GMP model, diecasts, banners, etc...

Thought that this would be fun to start showing off each others collectibles/hobby.. thoughts?

No. That would be my kids but as far as possessions go, this ranks right up there with my Cobra. When I get my 66 Mustang done the CBRXX might get knocked down a notch.

sweet bike, I agree kids are #1. thanks for sharing.

Love the XX city! First of the "200mph" bikes, once this bike came out the Busa and ZX12 then 13 followed, always loved the blackbird though, nice bike

I've had quite a few bikes ranging from HD to cruisers to other rockets(2 hayabusa and a ZX14) and the XX is probably the most comfortable bike I've owned and definitely the smoothest. Mild mannered yet a beast when you need her to be. It's like a Cadillac "V" car.

I've never owned a big bike like those but I have a xb12r now and it's the best of both worlds, kind of a harley that can handle like a 4 cylinder

no worries, i got it from an insider from svt. he has lots of rare memorabilia and i have NEVER seen this before, maybe its the only one? I will be bringing this to RITZ camera print shop, they may be able to transfer this to a positive on high glossy paper, in which im going to blow up HUGE, and frame it for the garage. Hope it doesnt cost me an arm and a leg..

ps: it has no scratches, markings, finger prints, etc. MINT HIGH RES!
