I set a goal every year to ride x amt of miles and then up it if/when the goal is met. This years goal was 20,000 miles and I met that on yesterday's ride with Empty Sea. 20,089 when I rolled into the garage last night to be exact. That's in 245 days of riding so an average of 82 miles every time I throw a leg over the seat.

New goal with 2 1/2 months to go in year 22,000


Toward that end, today,I rode 2 times . Rode the CB 35 curvy miles this morning solo, then wife and I took ST out to dinner and then the long way home for another 103 miles.

77 days to go 1773 miles to meet new goal

Does anyone else set riding goals?

Perma-gray is rolling in this weekend.

Going to the beach!

Hi guys,

I am nearing the end of my stock tire life (10'500km done so far) and now need some new tires soon. I would appreciate if the experience riders on the forum can either provide me your advice on favorite tires or direct me to the most helpful threads as I am sure this topic has been discussed already. I am looking for tires that would fit my brat style cb1100. Thx for feedback.

Hello there- I'm clearing out the stable and will have an empty garage. That vacuum could be filled with a red CB1100. Could you folks please chime in on the following?

Suspension. I want to make sure my next bike has very good suspension. What would you recommend front and rear? Is there a drop in cartridge unit? A set of rear shocks that work well?

Exhaust- I've seen the 4:1 Ryujin (sp) retro race type. Can you actually tune the bike so these work well without popping? is it looks, or will a map and these pipes add any power?

fairing- The road comet looks pretty. Are there opinions on what is most effective?

Thanks

Going to be short for now. I'm bushed.

Took off at 8:30 am (41 degrees) to meet Empty Sea and his group 3 hours away in Ironton Ohio. They showed up right on time on their way back from West Virginia. From there we went to Ribbers in Portsmouth Ohio for a great lunch and then to the Portsmouth mural wall. From there we wandered all over sw Ohio until we got to my house At 5:30 where we had dinner. By 7:30 we were at their hotel. Home by 8 for me.

Sea, Mike, Judy, Glenn, Laura.. Thanks for a great day.

I'm sure Sea will fill in the detail and pics in his ride report. I may add some here tomorrow too.

295 miles for the day.

Cycle World posted the top 5 new bikes of interest from their Intermot report. They were surprised.

I recently bought a left over new 2013 CB1100 from a Honda dealer in Missouri and made the following upgrades to make it more to my liking. I like the retro look but can't afford the Whitehouse K10 stuff so I decided to buy a new reproduction CB750 seat cover off of Ebay for $40 and have it modified to fit my stock seat pan. Because the seat is now thicker I added Gen Mar risers, $85. Then I had the silver side covers color matched to the tank, $100. I just had to add the Kawasaki fork boots to give it that retro look, $74. I also added the Honda engine guards for engine protection $160. Added the Honda luggage rack, tail bag and a new tank bag. I have some soft saddle bags that I will probably add for trips as well. On my short list is a windshield and throttle lock. I have no idea why the text is so wide and the second picture is larger.
