So I have been watching a bit of this lately on re runs ect... I am a big race fan in general and like all kinds of motorsports.

So educate me about the motorcycles. What size engines and what kind of power? These guys that ride them are awesome or nuts. What manufactures are involved? Is one any better than the other or are they all about the same? Or, is it all rider? Just curious to learn more a bout the sport. Thanks.

Actually they must have gone up a little bit (Christmas probably), I ordered this back around Thanksgiving and it was $72 shipped.

For $72 can't hurt to keep a spare laying around, my good buddy has an ol' CB550 and only runs Kenda tires, curious to see how she'll do.

anyone relocate or remove the horns?

Since my Ipad says it's 12:22 (i guess where Guth lives) it's officially New Years Eve..so...

HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS AND GALS

I'd also like to thank all of you for being so considerate and civil this past year. You have made my job as moderator for this great forum pretty darn easy.

My wish for all of you in the coming year is for good health, close families, and the prosperity you desire

As a motorcyclist I wish you many fun, safe miles on the motorcycle(s) of your choice

For the forum I wish continued growth with the same tone, many more "active" participants..and lots of threads about our favorite motorcycles and experiences!

Hi

I prepared a few wallpaper images from the french Honda leaflet (pdf file) for CB1100 '2013.

The PC I am currently using at work has a 1680 x 1050 pixels screen so I chose this dimension
But I could adapt if someone need a different image size and don't know how to do - just ask what you need.

I went over the border from Germany into Holland today and, apart from meeting up with an orange cow, I saw Santa (apparently, he quite likes the CB).

I was one of those who didn't notice any performance gains after installing a Staintune exhaust, that is until I added a K&N air filter.

Just what the doctor ordered! Engine response was noticably better. The exhaust note seemed to be a bit deeper too.

If you are running a Staintune exhaust with stock headers and stock air filter, I urge you to give the K&N a try. I'm positive you will notice a difference.

I also added a set of the inexpensive IKON shocks to the bike.On yesterday's ride I was having so much fun exercising the engine that I almost forgot they were there. I must say the IKONs seem to deliver a smoother ride than the stock units. The rear seemed more planted over rough roads and the overall comfort level was improved.

IKONs come with progressive springs made for your weight and riding style, as well as preload and rebound damping adjustments. You can choose between several colors for the springs at no additional cost. Or stick with chrome.

The stock springs are pretty good and you can certainly get better shocks like the Ohlins. But at $380, the IKONs can provide a modest performance and comfort gain without breaking the bank.

Mandatory picture:

My left side mirror gasket split at the bottom and has left a 1/4 inch gap exposing the inside of the mirror housing. I'm sure Honda will replace the mirror, its just a bit of a pain to go through the motions. Anybody else have this happen?

These last two days. On the ST, not the CB. 115 miles yesterday, 56 miles today. Yesterday was colder but it gave me the opportunity to test the electric glove liners I got for Christmas. Nice and toasty when plugged into their own controller, not so much when plugged into the jacket liner and run on same controller.

Today I was only able to get out for a little over an hour. Today I wanted to test the new point and shoot camera my wife got me. Took me awhile to work the new smaller buttons... Learn how to hold it...And to get my fat fingers out of the way of the new lens

But I eventually figured it out

On my way home I stopped for a pic op on Main St in the little town I live in along the Ohio River. 2 1/2 hours upriver in the direction my bike is facing lies the border of West Virginia, directly across the river is Kentucky ( the wooded hillside on the right in the picture) and an hour behind the bike is Indiana. All great states to ride in.

Anyhow, rain comes tonight after midnight, and all day tomorrow. At least it will wash some of that dang salt off the road. Then again they are predicting snow again Thursday. Looks like I will get to ride New Years Day as is a custom of my brother and I ( weather permitting) as they are predicting mostly cloudy with a high of 31. Electrics will be welcomed then!
