Honda Museum Tour (Part II)

For those of you that missed it, a few months ago I had the opportunity to visit the Honda Museum to celebrate Acura's 25th Anniversary (https://acurazine.com/forums/car-talk-5/acuras-25th-anniversary-celebration-830833/). I took a bunch of pics then which you can see in my first gallery ... http://flic.kr/s/aHsjvPgF5M

Last Friday, I had the unique opportunity to return to American Honda Headquarters to celebrate with them to honor Tyson Hugie and his 1994 Acura Legend LS Coupe (6MT) that surpassed 500,000 miles as it rolled on to the red carpet in front of AHM headquarters. You can find all the details about Tyson and his car in his thread ... https://acurazine.com/forums/car-talk-5/474k-legend-quest-half-million-818740/

I wanted to start this thread to show the other pictures I also took during that event. There aren't many, but it's a start. I experimented with HDR for some of the pictures in this batch...

The bike in question is a Honda 50....just like it says on the badge in the photo.

Early 60's......bike could do north of 200 mpg....no joke.

My goal is to get 500K miles out of my Accord. I'm 27% of the way there.
