Today marks one year since my hit and run on my motorcycle. I'm still not 100%, but I am a darn sight better than I was that day.
Two broken ribs on the left side, broken left collarbone, 2" diameter and ¼" deep puncture wound to my left ankle and various contusions and scrapes. The only road rash was minor. Both knees got it and my elbows got only a slight touch of it through my jacket sleeves. My gear did it's job as things could have been much worse.
The bike was repaired and fortunately the tank didn't get a scratch.
I was completely laid up for more than two months getting the initial healing out of the way on my ankle and bones. Then in February I had to have surgery to repair a torn labrum in my right hip so that set things back again.
All I want to do it to get back to normal and it just seems to be taking forever.

So whatcha think?

I think I'm done for now; this is what I did to make it perfect for me.

Going North on the FootHills ParkWay; I decided to go for a little walk. I can only share the view as there is no way to describe it. Taking at the lookout tower. It was a 10minute walk

Photobucket is so difficult on mobile.

Anyone using the K&N on their bike? If so, did you notice any discernible difference with it? I've put these on just about every vehicle I've owned for years, so I'll probably be doing it anyway, just curious if you could feel any increase in airflow and/or power.

Hello, everyone. Sorry I'm not sure if this is where I am supposed to ask this or not. I just barely got my 2013 Honda CB1100. I don't like how quiet it is.. And I'm not to fond of how big the end or the exhaust is either..
Can someone help me out?
I'm looking for a sleaker look. And I has to makes the bike roar..
I have been looking at the yoshimura exhaust .. Does anyone know if it has a good loud sound to it??? Thank you all

I have a 2014 standard with about 4k miles on it and have noticed it will occasionally surge when sitting at idle. I haven't noticed it being specific to a hot or cold engine, it will just randomly happen. Yesterday traffic was heavy and while I was idling at slow speed with the clutch in it was surging. Traffic cleared and I was able to get back up to speed. I came up to a stoplight 10 mins later and it idled fine. That's a typical example. It's not really too annoying but I was curious if anyone else has noticed this or if it's a sign of something needing tuning.

Dam, I really want a bigger tank and love these whitehouse tanks.

Why are they so darn expensive. !!!

Couple questions..

1) How much could I realistically sell my tank for ?
2) Can anyone think of any more affordable alternatives ?
3) If I get a bigger tank for my 2014 standard would the computer automatically adjust and be accurate ?

The unpainted one is cheaper, but that would require me to have it professionally painted. Hmmm. .. It's still a crazy $1,400..
Maybe someone on the board would like to sell me there used 2014 deluxe tank ?

Just looked at the 10 day forecast for Robbinsville NC. According to the weather channel looks like rain gear will definitely be in order. Hopefully this forecast will change between now & rally time.

I will post pictures this evening but I did install my Dart Marlin flyscreen last evening and everything went well as far as the installing of the screen. The brackets are about an inch out beyond the original brackets but with the screen installed it looks good. The quality as you all know is excellent. The only problem I encountered is the brace that the headlight bucket bolts screw in to kept coming off inside the bucket. Has anyone else had this issue? The brace actually slides into an area on the inside of the bucket but my left side kept sliding away from the hole for the screw or bolt. Anyhow I ended up putting on the bracket on the left side and unscrewing the headlight and keeping my hand on inside brace while I tightened it up. It worked but it was just a royal pain. Obviously that has nothing to do with the flyscreen. I haven't tried a test ride yet as it was about 46 and raining here in Indiana last night. Is it really May? I plan on doing a test ride this afternoon. Thanks
Here are a couple photos.
