Shipped yesterday, how long does it usually take to get here and through customs for those that have bought from samuruder.com before? Can't wait!

Hello!

Last few rides I have noticed that my fuel pump randomly gets loud, and it makes a screeching noise. It only happens when I initially hit the kill switch before starting the bike. It has happened when the bike is cold or after a ride. The bike runs great and she is quiet while riding. Any input would be greatly appreciated!!

Is there any way to find out stats on total sales?

Got my trusty Hepco Becker 55 litre top box mounted along with a Plexifairing 3 I bought on fleebay. It is a 8803, action said it was for a 80 something Kaw, I did some research and found out there are many part numbers for this thing but could not see any noticeable difference in them, it was a best offer, I got it for $160 shipped, most others are $220 so I thought I'd gamble.

It is a tight fit like Flynrider posted in another thread but I got it lined up with tight clearance but nothing touches. Did a 40 mile ride yesterday and was very satisfied, I had my heated jacket liner with glove liners plugged in. Was 50 deg, by the time I got to my destination I was hot, the glove liners alone never worked that well in the wind but with the P3 hand guards the liners did their job.

Overall it was near Goldwing fairing as far as wind protection goes. This one is 21" tall from headlight, I'm 5'11" with 30" inseem, wide shoulders and extra thick a$$ so I sit fairly high and just looking over the top. Very little wind noise, no buffeting. The tank bag is a magnetic Givi, perfect secure fit.

Hello fellow riders,

First ride report here on the new CB in the SF Bay Area east bay hills..

Installed my tourmaster synergy 2.0 heated jacket on the CB and took a nice ride on redwood and skyline blvd from Castro valley to Berkeley and back ..was cold initially slightly wet and damp and sunny later in the day and it was a pleasure riding the CB in the twistes ...

The skinny tires make the CB feel so light and it's not really tiring throwing it in the twistes on 550 lb bike .. The tires are not bad at all in the slightly wet pavement ..

Enjoy the pic overlooking the San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge in the background

Cheers !

Ok, its not a 2013 CB1100, its a 1983 CB1100F but it sounds bad-azz

Maybe if he'd had a CB this wouldn't have happened:

A whole WEEK in the hospital? My God...what a cruel fate...

Thought you guys might like to see what a Cal company is doing with the new Bonnies. The last few minutes of the vid Jay takes one for a test ride and you go pro video fans can clearly see where he wears his camera

Btw... I checked. Jay doesn't review the CB 1100

I stopped by my preferred Honda dealer today (there are at least 7-8 in metro Phoenix) to P/U a few maintenance items of which will not be mentioned. The sales MGR and I discussed the CB briefly, I said it is a great bike, I hope Honda doesn't discontinue for 2014. He said, they better not, they are good sellers, we sold at least a 1/2 dozen or more. Never heard any news from Honda that they would be stopped.

Just a bit of good news for all of us sitting on the edge of or CB seats waiting for the final word.

Just before Christmas I had a great ride from my home in Pomona, Queensland to Brisbane, the capital city of the State. I didn’t take the normal route straight down the Bruce Highway which is why I’m writing about it.

Here's a [url=https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zwzS5Q1Lo7Yk.kOU1ztGBQ9QE&hl=en]map of the route. You can see the Bruce Highway to the east.

Thanks to the Ferret for the camera tip. I'm still in awe of how he can press fiddly buttons wearing serious winter gloves.

Leaving home, I rode to the nearby town of Cooroy through the Yurol Forest. I ride it often, but never tire of the long bends which serve as a warm up for the remainder of any ride.

Leaving Pomona

From Cooroy my route took me onto the Belli Creek Road, part of which I wrote about in an earlier post. It’s easy riding with enough turns to keep a rider interested and a couple which require me at least to keep my wits about me.

Belli Creek Road

Belli Creek leads to the Eumundi-Kenilworth Road, a fast and reasonably good country road.

Kenilworth—Erika up front

It was a Monday so the Bellbird Creek Tea House was open and I decided to stop in there for lunch. Mostly because I was hungry but also to see Erika, a friend of my eldest son’s who is temporarily working there. She rides a Suzuki Gladius with a great deal more skill and panache than I do, in spite of her recovering from a nasty spill a year ago.

Bellbird Creek Tea House—Check out the bike carcass complete with rider at the entrance

Erika was finishing work as I arrived and drank tea with me while I ate. When she learned I was off to visit my second son and his partner in Brisbane and was taking the scenic route, she decided to join me. Good news as it’s often more fun doing some of these rides in company. Plus she knows the route better than I do.

While she got herself organised, I had a look at the motley collection of Hondas Pete keeps at the café. He tells me he dusts them off and races them from time to time. He’s also found a good use for old helmets.

As soon as you turn right out of the gate of the Bellbird Creek Tea House, you’re back into some magnificent twisties that take you round and down to the plain on the Maleny-Kenilworth Road.

Start of the twisties outside the Tea House

We didn’t go all the way to Maleny. Just west of Conondale we turned onto Ahern’s Road a smaller road that not only allowed us to bypass Maleny, but to ride up the Postman’s Track, a narrow and beautiful road leading steeply up the hill to the Maleny-Stanley River Road. It’s not fast as strategically placed dips are designed to slow traffic, but it’s a heap of fun and worth taking. The Maleny-Stanley River Road is memorable for the fantastic twisties leading down to Commissioner’s Flat. Erika reckons it’s one of her favourite bits of road on the coast. The gusto with which she approaches it indicates the pleasure she gets from it.

The road across the flat to the other side of Woodstock is straight and flat and let me catch up with the Gladius which had left me in its wake through the hills. This has nothing to do with the CB1100; just the relative quality of the riders.

Down the hill to Commissioner's Flat

Just to the south of Woodstock we turned to the right onto the Mount Mee Road. It’s fantastic. You climb the mountain through a set of tight twisties that must have been purpose built for motorcyclists. The road is in excellent condition and Erika vanished ahead of me as she gave in to her racing fantasies. I’ll have to go back and photograph it another time. That will be a hardship. Not.

Start of Mt Mee Road

After the summit of Mount Mee, the road winds down less steeply and tightly to Daybro. It’s still a satisfying ride. From there we followed a relatively busy and straightforward path to the centre of Brisbane.

Coming into Dayboro

For another day, there’s a detour at Samford (just after Dayboro) that takes one up another mountain and along an excellent and popular bikers’ road into the west of Brisbane. We had intended to take it, but it was getting later than I wanted to be and it was going to take too much extra time.

Brisbane

Sadly I couldn’t ride back the same way as I had agreed to collect the purchaser of my Honda Shadow on the way home and that route took me straight up the highway. I can report that, even with an extra 100kgs on board the CB1100 performed brilliantly. Like other members of this forum, the more I ride this bike the more I appreciate it.

Except for one little thing: the seat is not comfortable over a long ride. My backside becomes numb far too quickly. Hence the only modification I’ve made, other than putting on the top box: an Airhawk seat cushion. I’m not sure I’ve got it adjusted properly yet, but on the evidence of the brief rides I’ve done, it's much more comfortable.
