6 Hour 2009 Parade

PARADE LAP: Woohoo, I have huge admiration for both the riders and the machinery of all the original Six Hour races, it is worth noting that the first Six Hour in 1970 at Amaroo Park included one of the very first race outings for the Honda CB750, truly the Six Hour Series started at exactly the right time as large displacement UJM4's became a reality, as they say the rest is history.

The 2009 Parade Lap, albeit small in numbers, had some quality machinery. The following images capture some of what went on both on the circuit and in the display areas. Without prejudice, no really, the CBX must occupy the first row of pics!!!
