Hey Ferret, Hey Cormanus, Hey All, its been a long time.....
I really enjoyed riding with everyone and miss it greatly,
Sadly, I no longer have my CB, nor do I ride anymore. (the CB was the last to go)
I have posted a list of parts I have for sale on market place and if its okay, here's the link
Can someone tell me how the clock retains its memory when the ignition is switched off?
My clock has started resetting to 1:00 after the ignition has been off for a day or so. It's not lack of charge in the battery as I've just installed a new one which is showing 12.9v on the meter. Earlier in the year I had the instruments off the bike as ants had somehow nested in there, but the other instruments are working fine, so I find it hard to believe there's a poor connection.
An Archive has been added to the For Sale/Wanted to Buy — Members forum. Once an item has been sold/found, the thread will be moved to the Archive so it is still available, but not cluttering the list of things members are actively trying to find/sell.
I’m very happy to announce another road trip to North America—this time to Canada.
The idea actually came from Peter Baron after I mentioned some concerns about visiting the U.S. at the moment (reasons beyond the scope of this forum). He kindly invited me to join him on a road trip from Toronto to the Atlantic Ocean—just think about that! It’s amazing how this forum connects real people in real life. You really do meet the nicest people on a Honda!
After a bit of planning, we found a two-week window at the end of June.
So far, I’ve:
applied for an eTA
booked my flight from Germany to Toronto
put down a deposit on a rental bike in Toronto—a BMW F750GS
With the little Beemer, I hope I can keep up with Peter ?
Since we have so many friends here on the forum, we thought it would be great to share our adventure with you and let you come along for the ride.
We’re planning a mix of day trips and one longer ride out to the Atlantic coast—details are still coming together.
Many thanks to Peter for making this possible!
Looking forward to sharing this adventure with you.
"I wanted to create a beautiful motorcycle with artisan-level handiwork that’s also approachable and easy to ride. Based on my sketch, this ‘bike that defies logic and just demands to be ridden’ became a reality.”Mitsuyoshi Kohama, Chief Designer of the Honda CB1100
A year ago today, we set up the CB1100 Community Forum and ported the technical threads and posts from its predecessor, the CB1100 Forum.
At the time, we wanted to build on the incredible foundation of cb1100forum.com. Guth, The Ferrett, Cormanus, and others recognized how special the CB1100 is and the unique people who ride them. Their timing was perfect, and the results speak for themselves: 6,900+ users with over 300,000 posts.
12 years later, I joined the party. Things were very different. Depending on who you ask, Euro 5, an aging motorcycle demographic, the market’s shift toward lighter, adventure-touring motorcycles, and more led Honda to end production of the CB1100. I knew then and know now that the CB1100 (all flavors and years) will become more important with each passing year. Mitsuyoshi Kohama’s vision for a modern interpretation of an air-cooled inline-four that shared but was not limited by the heritage of its predecessors was perfect. Hirofumi Fukunaga, Shunji Yokokawa, and Mitsunobu Imada provided the drive and the details that ultimately led to the wonderful motorcycle I am about to ride this afternoon.
The missing piece was an active, supported Forum that would enable enthusiasts to preserve and protect the CB1100. Over the past year, 150 people registered on our Forum, 316 Threads have been created, and 3,439 Posts have been shared. The focus may have shifted toward maintenance, preservation, and riding, but the constants are Members' courtesy, sincerity, and decency, as they genuinely care for one another and for motorcycling in general. We are a Community, and, like the motorcycle we love, we are worthy of the energy and effort we spend to remain connected.
Congratulations on a great first year. Rest assured that the investment you have made in this Community will continue to pay dividends for years to come. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of something special. David
Voici mon autre moto, c'est une CB 750 de 2003 que j'ai aussi pas mal modifiée
selle, capot de selle et feu arrière de 900 bol d'or de 1979, roue arrière de CBR 900, cache latéraux sur mesures, etc......
J'aime beaucoup cette moto mais je préfère conduire la 1100
Today was day 1 of the season for me. Weather predicted to be sunny and with high 69. I gave it a good clean this morning and set off for work. I realised I left my wallet home when I stopped for air and fuel. No worries. Paid using the phone and turned back for the wallet.
I can do my meetings from my car but not on my bike so it was imp I reach office well in time. I reached home and in my hurry I got off without putting the side stand and it dropped!!
I was devastated. Clutch lever snapped, two small scratches on the exhaust and nick to the engine guard. I will check again to see if there is any more damage. Damage to the exhaust pained me the most - barely noticable but I know they're there.
I need to replace clutch lever before I get back on the saddle. Where can I get OEM parts? I tried honda website and it doesnt even list the model - 2017 Honda CB1100 EX.
