I've just been ruminating about a personal phobia that should be affected by riding motorcycles, but is not. And I have no idea why.

To explain: Everyone has some sort of deep, personal fear. Small spaces, sharks, being trapped under a burning couch. Whatever. My deepest fear is having my skin scrape on pavement. This fear is so pervasive that I can't walk on pavement bare-footed. Just thinking about it gives me chills.

A few days ago, while running work errands, I had parked my bike and was walking somewhere nearby. I was wearing my armored riding jeans and boots, but no jacket or gloves. While walking along, I tripped on an uneven part of the sidewalk, and fell forward. My knees hit the ground first, but I didn't feel much due to the pads in my jeans. My outstretched hands hit the sidewalk next to break my fall.

My hands hurt for a few minutes but they weren't cut or scraped. But the thought of them hitting the pavement sent such a chill through me that my "boys" downstairs started hurting a little, and I had to sit down for a minute.

However, this fear has no affect on my motorcycle riding. I don't even give it a thought. Yes, I'm geared-up and the parts that would hit the ground are covered, but it just seems weird to me that I don't think about it at all when I'm riding.

I'm wondering which countries Honda used their HISS anti-theft system on the CB1100, and what it does. Is it just an immobilizer or is there an alarm?

In the US, only the Rune had HISS, and it was somewhat confusing in programming replacement keys, etc.

Before and after going down when an uninsured driver made a u-turn across two lanes and stopped cold.

Would you...

-repair the org. tank?
-replace the tank with oem?
-replace it with a 2017 one?
-buy a Whitehouse?
-other..

Hallo, I'm new in this forum. I bought the bike a few days ago but I didn't get the manual in English.
Can someone help me?
Thanks.

Oh my... Looks like we've been dead and didn't even know it...

O2 sensor eliminator not working with CB1100rs 2017 ,engine light still on
How to fix Pls help.

Hello everyone,

I own a 2013 Honda CB1100 and had minor damages to my bike recently due to a crash.

What is the best place online to shop for either used OEM or after market parts, such as mufflers?

Thanks,
Saarang

Every year since 2006 some of the men in our family (and the occasional invited guest) get together for a week long motorcycle ride some place. some of the places we have been BRP/Dragon, U.P. of Michigan, Berea, Ky, Little Switzerland North Carolina, Marietta, Ohio, OINK (SW Ohio/Indiana/N Kentucky),Virginia, West Virginia. Some have been so good we have returned to the same spots several years

So this year (our 17th) we decided to try the Windy 9, in SE Ohio as advertised by the Athens Ohio Tourism board

https://www.windy9.com/

Our group this year would include myself (NC 750) my son Brian (Yamaha MT 10) my younger brother Randy (Triumph Bonneville T-120), nephew Roger who flew in from Nevada (CB500X) and my son's FIL Jim (NC 750)

We begin the trip at Jim's house with a group photo



the ride there was fun too on roller coaster 247 in Adams county



A stop at Cruiser's Diner aka the "Tin Can" for lunch.... home of the Hubcap Burger a 1# behemoth. We settled for the 1/2 pound burgers



Couple of hours later we arrived at the cabin we had rented for the week. We normally book a hotel for a base but thought we'd splurge this year



After that it was 5 days of riding some of the best roads in SE Ohio including Ohio's famous "Triple Nickle" Rt 555



So how was the riding? Honestly it was awesome. We could not find a bad road













555, 664, 56, 278, 374, 550, 377, 78, 180, 677 are just some of the great roads we were able to ride.. all well maintained, all virtually traffic free and nothing but curves

My lad has done "his time" on a 125cc motorcycle here in Ireland so with a full years no claims he can move up a notch without too much of an insurance hit.

So the wonderful 2021 Honda CB125F is making way for an 18 year old Kawasaki Ninja 250, originally imported to Ireland by a Jersey City US resident when she emigrated here. The bike even comes with her old title.

250cc bikes are hard to come by second hand and new ones are out of his budget range so this was what could be had. They used to be everywhere in the UK and Ireland when 250cc was the learner legal limit but now it is a pretty dead class.

11HP to 30HP upgrade (albeit at some extraordinarily high RPM) and a low 5,000 mile history has this bike looking well and will suit him down to the ground. I have to say though I am gutted that the CB125F is going, I loved that little thing and loved taking it to work on occasion. A really easy 150 MPG+ (Imperial) wringing its neck.

Valve clearances to be checked by me before he sets off on the Ninja but wonderfully old fashion screw and locknut adjustment - hooray! Same as my 1952 MG TD

Got her stashed in a locker until the house closes. I can't wait for this process to be over.
