Member kennyw created a map showing members' locations. Here's his post with instructions and a link to the map.

I have added groups by continent.

Step 1, type your city and state in the search box and select the correct result.



Step 2, click "ADD to MAP"



Step 3, click the edit button



Step 4, add username to name field and anything you feel important to the description field. Then, click save.



Step 5, verify it added to the correct continent and shows on the map correctly.

Hello fellow owners. I picked up a 2014 CB1100 2 weeks ago (6400). The bike had 413 original miles. I am in love with this bike. I have had maybe 30 motorcycles in my life (63 here) and this is one for my favorite bikes I have ever owned. Bike was stock sans bar change and rear grab rail which I have since removed. Installed an Arrow slip-on DBkiller removed its glorious. Tried posting a picture no joy.

We have done Idaho, Oregon, and Colorado so far. Which state is next? This screenshot is the member map. We could do a summer rally in a NW state (timing dependent on elevation and fire season) or a winter rally in a SW state.

Tomorrow I begin a road trip...east.

My personal experience with the right coast is a couple of weekend visits to NY City back in 1985...and that's it.  The goal is Syracuse, NY.  I've been holding off making mention of this trip because of on-going back issue (stenosis) that started last November.  Had steroid injections about 2 months ago, but the positive effects have largely worn off.    

So this may be a short "east" trip.  But I've got a plan...a friend lives in Billings, MT, and I'm going to head there and see how I feel.  If the back won't behave, I'll head home and then fly to Syracuse.  But if I'm good, then I'll continue to Illinois where my 100 year ol' mom lives and thrives (I visited her on my 2014 standard CB1100 back in 2016--great trip).  If I make it there, I figure I should be able to ride to Syracuse.

My heart wants to take my 2021 Kawasaki W800, but reason says the CB1100 is the better choice because I have more room.  So...after a few days of getting the saddle bags and support "bars" sorted out, it was time to load things up to see if it all fits.

  
Rok Straps do a great job of cinching things down, and neither the saddle bags nor the rear bag budge.  A 10 mile trial run seems to indicate that I'm ready to go.

I'll be taking my time, limiting myself to around 300 mile days.  I'm packing a hammock and sleeping bag, no tent, and I hope to do 2 nights camping, 1 night with friends, family or hotel, then repeat.  Rough route is OR...ID...MT...ND...MN...Wis...Ill...Ind...OH...Penn...NY.  I want to do the Upper Michigan area, but not sure if that will be on the way to NY, or on the return.  If I'm feeling good, I might visit a sister in Cape Cod.  

Maybe meet some forum members?

Hi all, been searching threads regarding a 19-tooth front sprocket change. Looks like it hasn’t been discussed in quite a long time, and the JT brand has discontinued theirs.

Sounds like something really only appealing to a ‘13 owner.

Anyone happen to know of a currently available 19 tooth option?

For all the Fathers who ride with us every place we go. Enjoy the day with those you love.

Jeff B. and I met up with The A-man in Robbinsville NC for a few days of riding…Cherohala Skyway, Deals Gap, Moonshiner 28 and Rt 1310 Wayah Road. Dodged some evening storms but still managed some great curvy miles.  Saw a “few” Honda Groms and Monkeys during the “Smoky Mountain Small Bore Rally”.

Attended OH-Stoc at Lake Hope in SE Ohio

Thur did 242 mi
Fri did 213 mi (I probably did 3,000 curves on this day on Rts 278-78-555-& 550 ...about wore me out lol)
Sat did 129 miles coming home

A small search on the cb1100 forum did not reveal a complete method to post pictures, so i thought it may be an idea to do a step-by-step way to get more members posting starting with how to open an account with Imgur ( a free image hosting internet service ).

here's the link;

https://imgur.com/

Click on any of the following pictures to get a detailed bigger view in a new window.

You need to click on sign up and provide the following information;



once complete click on "next";



check the box "i am not a robot"

the next page looks like this;



Click on "register"

You can see your new username in this page now.

As you are now registered with a new account.

I would recommend to bookmark this page to make it easy to find it in your browser.



Hover the mouse over your username in the right top corner and click on "images".

This page opens and click on "browse".



A window opens and you can now go to the folder where the picture is stored on your computer, select one or highlight multiple images and click on "open" or whatever box you normally use to open pictures on your pc.



Imgur will now download the image ( s ) and display a progress bar in this page;



Once the images are downloaded the page opens with your image;



Once more hover the mouse over your username and select images;



Your images page appears and now click on the image you want to post;



select the second from the bottom "BBCode" and click on "copy".

The cell next to it now highlights green.

now you can go to your post on the cb1100 forum, put the cursor on the line below your text and rightclick
'paste".

The link pastes itself onto your edit space and should look like this;



If you now click on "preview post" it will take you to the preview page and you can check if all is as you intended.



If all is as you intended to be you can now click on "post thread" and it will take you to your post as usual.

To see the picture in original size hover the mouse over the picture and when the pointer turns into a "hand" click on the picture and it will open in a new window, if you click on that window again it will magnify that part of the picture even more to show small details and focus on the part of the picture on which you clicked the mouse.

This is an economical way to post as it takes a very small amount of storage ( 20 bytes ) on the forum ( which Guth pays forWorship ) as opposed to the data required when the actual photo's ( 12 megabytes ) are stored in the forum server and is a better way instead of posting attachments ( storage ) to the forum, again; less cost to the forum management.

Good luck, it looks longwinded but is actually very intuitive once you have done it a few times, nothing to be scared about, it's only ones and zero's.Beer

forum community,
since I finished the "necessary" upgrades/farkles, I've been thinking about longer trips on the bike.  Sidecases or saddlebags seem necessary for that kind of trip.  Since it's pretty soggy up here in the PNW much of the year, I'm interested in waterproof of course.  I'm interested in something that can be added or taken off very easily since most of the day rides wouldn't require them, just multiday jaunts.   what are you all using for saddle bags or sidecases?
thanks in advance,
tdbru
