CONCLUSION,
PROJECT COSTS & RESOURCES
I wish to thank Luis Hernandez, Publisher of Motorcycle Shopper Magazine for the opportunity to write this article and race under the Motorcycle Shopper Racing colors; Jim Reed for his backing of this project, all the sponsors mentioned throughout this article for their support, as well as Thad Levandoski and Kirk Cossairt for their help and generosity.
I wish all of you lots of luck and enjoyment in your new project and hope to see you out at the track.
And when you're there look for the white-and-red Motorcycle Shopper Racing CB350 with #158 on it and stop by and say hi.
