Birds of Prey…

Exciting times at the plant today, folks…

As you know, the CSC Motorcycles manufacturing facility is located on Brackett Airfield right here in southern California.  We see some exciting aircraft touch down, but today was a special treat.    The US Marine Corps’ latest short-takeoff-and-landing planes, the V22 Ospreys, shook things up a bit when they landed just a short distance from our plant (that’s funny in a way, because earlier this morning we actually had a 3.9 earthquake in So Cal…as Jerry Lee Lewis used to say, we had a whole lotta shakin’ goin’ on today)!   

Steve grabbed these shots, and they’re super…just like our Marines and all of our service men and women!

Ever wonder what an actual osprey looks like?  Hey, we have you covered there, too!   When Carlos, Maria, and yours truly went down to see the whales in Baja last January, we visited a protected nesting area for (you guessed it) real ospreys.   

Ospreys are very cool birds of prey, and they are very well protected by the Mexican government.   We saw many areas where there were two telephone poles side by side, and our guides explained why:   If a pair of ospreys nest in a telephone tower, the Mexicans disable that tower and build another right next to it so as to not disturb the ospreys.   Very cool stuff.
