Clearly anyone who rides a CB1100 or reads this Forum enjoys the finer things in life. I love riding motorcycles. And I also love great coffee. It is wonderful to set a proper coffee shop as a destination, but there are some moments when I want to leave the city to take in the great beauty of the world. With recent advances in technology, it is now possible to create a perfect espresso or an Caffe Americano anywhere I park my motorcycle. For fellow coffee lovers on the Forum, here is one way to get it done.

The Outin Nano is a battery-powered, affordable, portable espresso maker which easily fits in a bag or a hardened case. It is small, compact, and incredibly well made. You can use coffee pods or ground coffee, although the pods are much easier to manage because there is no clean up. For those of you who tour, I can think of no better device to add to your equipment. For day trippers like me, the Outin Nano will easily fit in a small travel bag or backpack.

I had a difficult week and decided to ride to a beautiful park in the hills of Northern California and eat a light breakfast. The sun was bright, no wind, a perfect 60 degrees for a wonderful ride. When I arrived, I become my favorite barista. In less then 5 minutes, I made the perfect espresso to pair with the almond poppy seed muffin I brought along to remind me that there is more to this world than stressful work. Here are a few pictures: 









If a “cup” of coffee is more to your liking, you could dilute the espresso with more hot water in a larger cup. Milk and/or flavorings can also be added to the coffee, if you have room to bring them. 

This is as good as it gets for me. 



We will see if anyone else considers the Outin Nano a motorcycle accessory! Have a great weekend. David

Another great ride in Northern California. Simply incredible.

I have only used one motorcycle planing app, but my experience has been very good using Calimoto. There are Apps for all phone types as well as a browser version:

Bike Social also likes the Calimoto.

Hope you will, too. David

Although aimed at those who are less than tall, there are great tips I use every time I ride or work on my motorcycle. I hope you, too, can learn something useful. At 560 LBS wet, we all need to be careful on a CB1100!

Was reviewing a ride video and realized after the fact I hit some lucky 5's on the Twin.

Perhaps the GOAT of engine motorcycle engine analysis. Our CB1100, four-cylinder engine received a superior rating. No surprise to anyone on this Forum.

Everyplace I go, an admirer of my CB100EX appears.

Sycamore Grove Park is a beautiful park with something for everyone. It is a good destination place for a casual ride. See link at bottom of post.
