Yep.  I thought that was too cool when I learned of it.  I wish I had a lifestyle that would allow me to apprentice as a falconer.  Saw "Falcon and the Snowman" on TV in the early 90's and was hooked with the idea of training and flying raptors.  Magnificent creatures.

Now, anyone here ride a Blackbird?   ;)

if you're in CA still you have to get a special permit to train with them.  just watched a show that somewhere near Sacramento is the State's training center.  lovely being in CA, taxes taxes taxes and then fee fee fee fee  :P

So the Hayabusa was named cleverly as if to claim it's superiority to the Honda Blackbird?

Why does it look like the bags don't want to be close to the bike?  Like they don't want germs or something.  Bags look like they should fit closer to the bike.
