The CB1100 Community Forum

Thanks, Nacho! It was one of those things when a friend calls, and you can hear that tone in the voice, you know its gonna be bad. He broke the news that another buddy was camping in Texas when a tornado went through the RV park and the rest was history.

It actually was a very gratifying ride. The pic with my helmet on the seat is at Cook's Corner, the local biker hangout. On a Sunday afternoon, it was jumping, live music playing, and with one of the few non-Harleys in the lot, my CB was getting a good deal of attention. One guy who walked up and was ogling my bike was a young man named Alejandro, who had just parked his Enfield 350 Classic. He had that glowing look of a new-ish rider who was still on Cloud Nine.

I said that I had an Enfield Interceptor, and he got excited, as he wants to upgrade his 350 to the 650 Twin. Already knows what color and options he wants. We talked for about half an hour. He had just ridden his 350 to San Francisco and back to visit friends. I told him that was quite a bold choice in machinery to take on California highways with 21 horsepower. "Yeah, I mostly stuck to the right edge of the right lane..."

I guess if Pdedse can ride his Interceptor from Oregon to San Diego and back, and this guy can ride his 350 single to SF and back, I shouldn't worry too much about taking mine an hour each way to work a couple of times a month!

Nice! Since my new job centers around Mustangs, my boss is really pushing me to get one. Haven’t had one in ten years.

Mrs Ferrets mid-life crisis lol

I can't have anything larger than my current Fiesta. Otherwise, I can't fit the CB in front of it and the Bonneville behind it in the garage.

Doesn't keep the boss from nagging me about getting a Mustang.

Just a bit of evergreen mixed with the high altitude remnants of winter.





The beautiful, early spring ride didn't end on the same note it started out on, sadly. About 1/2 mile from home as I was mulling over whether to keep going for a longer ride, my TPMS started alerting me to let me know my rear tire pressure was dropping.



I knew better than to drive through a construction area. Anytime the roads are bumpy, some construction truck is going to bounce roofing nails out of their truck bed. Along with my perpetual defiance of statistical probability of stepping on the one tiny dog poop in an otherwise poop-free back yard, it was inevitable that I would also run over a nail in the road.

Picturesque view and nice EX!

Beautiful pictures! Bummer about the nail, though. Did you get a flat?

I was told Teslas are green vehicles, so is it a valid entry? Else there are the road signs.

I did. I took it to the tire guy I have used since the late 90's and they used to patch tubes. Now they apparently won't anymore and will only put a new tube in. Trying to find a tube has been difficult. I am not sure what to even order for this bike.
