Blue ridge parkway today for lunch in Cherokee NC. Passed another CB owner and got a thumbs up so hello to whoever you are if you are a forum member.

Yesterday I did a long ride mainly on small back roads in windy but dry weather on my clean and beautiful CB.
When I took a rest to fetch me some pommes frites, I saw a rider of an old XS 1100 stop and taking a long look at the CB. As soon as I went back to my Honda we talked for a while and he told me, if he would buy a new or another bike today it would be the CB, because it is the only bike he likes among all new offered motorbikes. I appreciate that and understood why, looking at some other modern space invaders that where parked around us. One never knows where the front or the rear is he mentioned. He has a Kawa Z1000 J at home which he is working on to give it a Ricky Lawson Outfit. So it's obvious that he has a faible for big aircooled In Line Fours. Me too.

Your CB looks great wisedrum. I like the combination of black tank and side covers with silver engine and silver wheels. I see you have the C-ABS system (2 brake lines to the right front caliper) so it must be a 2013 model.
It's a good look, isn't it?
Chync's bike look Very sporty and Wisedrum's looks very classic. Both great versions of the same bike.

Yes, it is. I like the CBS very much, because whenever I have to use the brakes, I prefer to use the rear brake.
But the front break is automatically a little bit involved too. An ABS is nice to have, but I try to avoid its working by the way I ride. Mostly I'm successful.

Thought I'd drop by my favorite Mickey D's for that senior cup of coffee before heading out to teach at an Army base here in Hawaii. Notice the "Aloha" sign near yhe golden arches.. have a great day everyone. Aloha!
