I'm looking for a 2014 Honda CB1100 Deluxe.

I wish that Honda would produce the CB1100 again, just as it was before, when I turned down the opportunity to buy one.

If I had that chance again. . . .

Cam Recall was done. I'm getting a good deal. It has Kerker K pipes. It's a little rough, but nothing a little TLC can't take care of.

It's got 28k on it, but I'm not to worried. I'm not buying this as a museum piece. I'm getting into a project.

Picking it up later today. I'll post pics then.

Reg Pridmore's wife, Gigi (also an instructor for CLASS Motorcycle School) shares a bad experience she had, using just part of the gear, part of the time. Basically fell off whilst two-up with Reg, sand all over the road...

I've sold three bikes including my CB in the past few months. I have decided keep my trusty BMW GS; especially since I have her exactly the way I want her and she does anything I need. This left me with a huge piece of vacant concrete in the garage. Just for fun, I went snooping around online and in a local showroom during my lunch break last Tuesday and saw this gorgeous bike during my lunch break! I went home and watched every YouTube video I could find regarding this bike. The next morning, I placed a deposit on her. I pick her up tomorrow after work!

She's enormous weighing in at 750 pounds, she has gorgeous art deco styling, huge radial ABS brakes, longitudinal crank shaft, three traction control modes (rain, touring, sport), heated grips, security system, a bunch of LED lights, and shaft drive! Looks like a comfy place to spend a day!

I posted these up in the new members section yesterday, but here they are again!























Hope you enjoyed them!!

Took my cb off-road this week end. I was feeling extra adventurous on my Saturday ride with my buddy. I really wanted to get a picture with my bike in front of these huge cell towers in the hills behind my house. Fun ride. I saw a dirt road leading up to the towers and thought screw it lets do it. My buddy has a dual sport and I've seen vids of cbs off-road. She handled quite well I'll post my vid of me going up the hill. But on the way down things got a little nuts. Of course my gopro battery died 3 minutes before but I totally skid down this dirt trail and ended up on my a$$. I got to a part in the road that had a huge rut, so I tried to slow down and ended up lock up my back tire and instantly slipping on my left side (thank god it was not my exhaust side). Not much damage other than scrapes to my crankcase cover and a bent engine guard which I easily bent back. I can probably drop $200 and have the bike looking like new. Moral of my story.... I need to tame my adventurous spirit on my cb lol At least till I get a dual sport for this stuff haha





All that for this shot:

Please indicate how many miles per gallon you get on your CB1100 depending on what transmission your bike has. Thanks!

For you guys that change your own tires, you know they have to be balanced again. I change my own tires and this way of balancing would make life a lot easier, but I don't know a lot about it. What do some of you tire changers think? http://checkeredflagtirebalancebeads.com/

Yesterday we made a Ribber Run. A motorcycle ride to Portsmouth, Ohio to visit the Scioto Ribber.

https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_R..._Ohio.html

A steak house that cooks their steaks outside on giant grills with real chopped fire wood. Even though the restaurant is 96.6 miles from my front door, we go several times a year for one of their 16 oz ribeye steaks (they also serve a 32 oz steak for hearty eaters), seasoned and cooked over those open flames. It helps that the trip is on some of the best curves and most scenic roads in southern Ohio (St Rt 125 and St Rt 52), passing thru the middle of the Shawnee State Forest. Several members of the family (mine and my son's wife's) had come over to cut down and cut up 13 trees in my yard a couple of weeks ago. They would do it for free, but I offered anyone who helped a steak dinner at Ribbers. Got lots of help that way lol. Yesterday was payback time, and I was the payee.

We had 4 bikes go down and 1 car with 3 people in it. My son on his new FJ-09. My brother on his new T-120. Cousin Mark on his new T120 Black, and myself on my CB. Son's FIL who also helped with the wood cutting and rides an ST 1300 and a Bonnie was not able to go.



Following was Mark's dad Mark Sr, cousin Chris (who rides a Suzuki DR350 but elected not to ride it on this trip) and Chris's fiancé. Both Chris and his fiancé had never been there before and Chris had just returned from 4 years of active duty (Marines) so they were in for a treat.

As we were ordering our steaks and sides, Chris's fiancé asked the waitress if they serve steaks cooked "Pittsburg Sear". I had never heard this term before, and neither had anyone else at the table. The waitress said yes so that's how she ordered her steak. Apparently they sear the outsides but leave the middle raw.
and here's what it looked like.

Jeezalou, it wasn't even cooked and was actually cold in the middle. Egads, we are not cavemen anymore, and learned to actually cook meat 10,000 years ago.

Here's mine, cooked Medium Well lol

Anyhow after stuffing ourselves, and after them waking me up after I fainted paying the bill lol,(the tip alone was actually larger than I have ever paid for a meal for two) we rode down to the famous Mural Wall a few blocks away. The Mural Wall is 1/2 mile of exquisite murals painted on a flood wall depicting the history of Portsmouth

We took a different route back home over some more great roads (St Rts 104,73,348,and 125). Total trip was 198 miles. Perfect riding, perfect roads, perfect food, beautiful scenery, perfect weather, it was just an awesome day.
