Rode with my V47 trunk yesterday. Don't normally use the big one, but was planning on some shopping on the way home from work.

I've always found it comical that Givi insists on putting "tail lights" on their trunks that serve no function unless you buy their extra light kits. They don't even function as reflectors.

At some point a few years ago, I pulled the lenses off of this one and cut some Scotchlite reflective tape to fit inside the lenses, then put it back together. I never really paid attention to how effective it could be until last night. The UPS guy was making a late pickup, and his headlights were pointed at the back of my bike inside my shop. I guess it does work!

Cool history on the Honda Logo. Not sure if this has been posted before but didn't find it when I did a search so here it is. Enjoy Honda fans!

The Tour of Honor is a season-long scavenger hunt of sorts where riders seek out various military memorials around the country while raising funds for a number of veterans’ charities.

I’ve been doing this tour for 4 years and it’s a lot of fun. Cheryl and I have taken weekend rides to places we may never have visited were it not for a TOH memorial being located there.

If this is something you might be interested in, check out their website at https://www.tourofhonor.com/pages/register.html Registration began today and the 2021 Tour begins on 4/1/21 at 12:01am. If you decide to sign up, make sure to mention that Matt Coyne referred you..they’re doing a promotion and I get $25 for each referral. I plan on donating any referral fees to the meal fund at the 2021 Rally.

Feel free to PM me with any questions or reply in this thread.
Here are a few pics to give you an idea of what a memorial photo submission looks like.

I've been using this tool when I want to find fun roads to drive in my weekend car and now that I got the CB1100, I've been using it a lot more since lower speed roads are just as fun: [url=http://roadcurvature.com]roadcurvature.com

They do some fancy algorithmic scanning of google maps so there are definitely some roads that are just too short for any real fun but I found some hidden gems in San Diego so far.

I've been reading the history thread, and there the "a little history" post. And I am sure it got covered somewhere in the forum, but I can't find it. Would anybody have an extensive list of changes which occurred between the original model released (in the US in 2013), and the 2017 EX ?

I am aware of the following changes
- tank size & shape / seats
- colors and wheels
- display unit between the round instruments
- some with or without ABS (anti-lock brakes)

Have there been any other significant modifications between these two landmark years ? Ideal would be a side-by-side table with specs/changes . I am not interested in country specific models like the RS which came later.

Thanks

Well, I never thought I'd say this, but I'm thinking of selling the CB, and the BMW. Going to look at a 2015 Yamaha FJ-09 later today. Hankering for one do-it-all bike, and I want to move only one bike to TX. On advice from a forum member, I'd thought about taking the Honda, and then doing whatever was necessary in TX, but just looking is OK, right?

when you use the motorcycle every day, with cold, heat or rain ... it forces to put a suitcase; apart from that my family serves as a fearless person. I liked this Givi model; - today I put the backrest -; and with 56 liters it does not look excessive. The CB1100 ex 2015 europe; It is bigger and wider than it seems. very good and steel colored ..

sorry I can't send the actual audio.. but, take my word for it, it came out very well.. now I will have to hone my skills, using it.. I know that I should post it on you tube, but I haven't been there in a while now.. I find myself sending short little videos thru messages to my friends with audio.. maybe I will use Peter to give his views of the audio.. I do text him ..

Time to break out my favorite helmet!
It's at the office because I tried to wear it for the company Christmas card photo.
The boss made me take it off...

I blame all of you.

After winning the first one at the WV rally for being youngest CB rider, I took it upon myself to buy the subsequent years for this Xmas ornament series. They're just too darn cute. Does anybody else have them all?

What do you think next year will be? My vote is for the Cub. If Honda wants to honor a truly iconic part of their history with a snazzy little model, it should be a Cub. i'd be proud to have one of those hanging on the ol' avarice totem.
