CN III VOICES W H A T Y O U A R E S A Y I N G "Running out of words to describe Eli Tomac's speed." Honda RC45 Road Test An awesome tour of Honda history, thank you so much, Rennie. Patrick Callahan Are you like a walking motor- cycle racing encyclopedia or what? Crunge92 Aaron Slight on the red, white and green Castrol machine— what memories. The closest I've come to the RC45 is the fourth generation VFR. It's the one I miss the most. Thanks for that very personal review. I'm sure Mick Doohan's NSR is still a possibility [to test] if you're nice to Honda? Good luck! TH The RC45 and its predecessor have been my dream bikes if I could have a collection of my own, but there is another, albeit smaller, version that can be fairly easier to have—the JDM RVF400. It looks and sounds like a shrunken RC45. If I had the money to spend that's what I would get. Kevin Patrick Haslam Back To WorldSBK Love you, Leon, but I think the Brits are a bit overrepresented in this paddock. Can't knock 'em, though, they are fast. Hopefully the series will, once again, take on a more international flavor in the near future. Good luck Mr. Haslam! Howard Halterman Leon, we're glad to have you. Been so much fun in WorldSBK since the Biaggi days. Love Johnny Rea but let's make it interesting. Barry Hudson Washougal - Eli Tomac Running out of words to describe Eli Tomac's speed. Gaining a second a lap on some of the world's best riders is incredible enough but four seconds a lap!? This guy should have more cham- pionships but high risk comes with this kind of speed. And despite what others have said, Ken Roc- zen's comeback from horrific injuries shows the heart of a champion. Terry Heath Brad Baker Hope for a quick and complete recovery. The sport needs you in it for a long time to come. Chris Walker Bummer! Hang in there, Brad. All the best for a speedy recov- ery. Robert Laroque I just made a donation [to Brad Baker's recovery fund]. I would like anyone who can afford it to make a donation, especially those veterans like me who have suffered a spinal cord injury. Brad Baker, we are praying for you and hoping you have a complete recovery physically and spiritually. Gershom Ben Avraham Letters to the editor can be sent to voices@cyclenews.com.
