1971 Honda CL450
Owner: Tannis Watson
This is my 1971 CL450 Honda that I will be competing on in the Historic Production Lightweight class of AHRMA during the 2002 season. It has won that class championship for the last two years, in 2000 with Nick Rotvold and in 2001 with Paul Dunning. The bike was built by Nick's father, Dave Rotvold. Upon purchasing the bike I have made numerous changes to it for the 2002 season; most people won't recognize the bike as being Paul's bike from last year!
I was a spectator at several races last summer (I was the guy who was always in your way in the pits!), and I got to know several of the great folks who race with AHRMA. I am really looking forward to competing and spending time with all the AHRMA competitors!
Update: 6/3/03
I am starting my second season with AHRMA with the race
in Kershaw, S.C. I have a sponsor this year, Racer Apparel (www.wearracer.com).
Be sure to take a look at their clothing line;
they have a great little clubman racer on t-shirts, oxfords, polos and
hats.
I have made several changes to the bike and enjoy working on it on those cold, long Michigan nights. I had a great time racing last year and I am looking forward to more of the same this year. A big thank-you to all of you who helped us last year, especially Dave Rotvold and his family.
