Nope, he works there,.............but there have been a lot or world
tours done in the Honda 250cc class, some where wholly or partially
sponsored by Honda management levels......
Sponsoring stuff like that is a bit difficult and rare these days
since the outcome can turn out anyway. pro/con.....
HAMC "patches" get a free Harley if they can put 20,000 miles per
year on it...these have the red/white on the bike somewhere, classifying it
as a ^Company^ Bike.....
I've noticed they drive all sorts of *other types* of bikes
especially in Europe, maybe these are Company Bikes too, at 20,000 miles per
year for the bikes promo..
