Let's take this thread back to the 70's

...Best of all, Honda introduced the CBX 6-cylinder motorcycle, there were other 6-bangers out there, like the 1972 Benelli Sei and the Kawasaki KZ1300 water-cooler, but Honda had the best marketing. I had a '79 CBX for about five years, best bike I ever owned. Six carbs, six pipes, six speeds, powerband from nothing to infinity, oil-in-the-frame, only 2" wider than a CB750, double overhead cam (DOHC), 24 valves, 9.3 compression ratio, 105 HP, 1/4 mile time of 11.5 sec, twin disc brakes in front - single disc in the rear, 40 MPG, and only 440 pounds. It was a rocket that had a sound like nothing else.

One of our drag-racing gang owned one of those. May still have it; he's kept everything automotive he's ever owned. That thing was awesome!

Best I recall Elvis died in 1977. I was riding in the back of my Dads Chevrolet long bed straight 6 pick up tuck with an aluminum camper top on top on the way to the family reunion in Mississippi. I was 12 years old. I remember I started crying. I was born in Memphis. In Memphis Baptist hospital. Elvis was like a family member to us as a family even though we didn't even know him my whole family loved the man. I think Elvis was a good man. He treated people with respect. He made many donations that helped many. Unlike a lot of folk these days it seems. Ain't gotta like his music to respect the man.
