The CB1100 Community Forum

A 2013 CB1100 passed me while I was taking this picture this morning...


This little church is pretty much in e middle of nowhere and my wife has always admired it when we've passed it.

The CB1100 rider was wearing a red and black mesh jacket (Joe Rocket, maybe?). I was too slow on the uptake to snap a pic. His outfit look familiar. Who was it?

Good morning,

That was me, yes I was wearing a red & black Joe Rocket mesh jacket. I live in Gurnee about 7 miles south of the Church where you were stopped. I try to avoid traffic & congestion, most of my rides are in rural southern Wisconsin and often go up Hunt Club road, but avoid it close to dusk because too many deer. I saw you taking a picture of you wife and thought for a moment I should go back and offer to take a picture of the two of you. My apologies for not stopping, hope you enjoyed your ride!

No need for apologies, but we're up there a lot, too, so don't hesitate to stop and say hi if you see us again. We rode to Elkhorn for the Walworth County Fair. Hot, but we had a great ride there and back. Hope you enjoyed your ride as well

Hey I'm also in Gurnee, We should get together sometime and go for a ride!

Hello CB Pat,

So sorry for not responding sooner. While I truly enjoy this forum I don't get on it nearly often enough. I had very little free time the last few months. I definitely would like to get together with a fellow CB1100 owner/Gurnee resident. For me the ridding season is pretty much over. If you would take a rain check and aren't put off by my slow response maybe we could go for a ride?

I say we all meet for breakfast at Cowmark Cafe in Trevor and then go for a short (or long) ride from there. But I'm thinking that we should do this in the spring. (not to horn in on the Gurnee brotherhood or anything.)

Holy cow, Gurnee There was an episode of Father Knows Best in which a cousin came from Gurnee to visit Betty, it was called country cousin It was great

Hey I live in Chicago and ride in the northern Illinois/southern Wisconsin region all the time.

Last week I went up to Glacial Park and hiked around, it was a cool ride.

I like to use a Lake/McHenry County parks as meet up points for group rides I lead into Wisconsin. Much more scenic than a gas station or McDonalds. Haven't used Glacial Park yet, though.

Just checking cuz we have a few 'hunt club' roads around. I'm up near Elkhorn, don't know that exact location.
