Today my wife and I visited a motorcycle " rock legend", the Rock Store on Mulholland Highway in Cornell California. Unfortunately it was closed, and also unfortunately we were in a rental car. I was surprised how small the place is. Not much area to park cars or bikes. I've read there can be over 150 bikes here at one time. Some real exotics... But not today. Hard to believe Jay Leno goes there. We then proceeded to drive the "Snake" over to Kanan road. This road deserves what ever reputation it has..it is a wicked road. Kind of like the Dragon on an angle with open sides. I can see why it is so popular. Actually we got lucky in that we were the only vehicle on the road at 9 am on a Monday, so I nether held anyone up, nor had to fear anyone missing a turn and taking me out.

then we drove north on the Pacific Coast Highway mirroring the trip I made on my ST1300 last year. Not quite as good in the car, but easier to stop and take good pictures.

Now in an under value over priced motel in Carmel, home of Clint Eastwood.
Tomorrow a place I didn't get to ride in on last years motorcycle trip..San Fran.

Greetings Brothers, I would like to enter Mexico from Texas, ride along the Eastern coast, up the Yucatan, and put my bike on a boat to Florida. Hopefully Key West, maybe Miami. Anyone know some resources, recent books, articles, blogs, etc. I can peruse? I really don't want to search 50 million internet sites. There aren't enough o's in cool to describe this Forum. It is really well done. Congrats to all involved. Norton

I recently purchased an led strip for the stop run and turn signals, and it does not have separate ground wires for the turn signals, and as such they do not work. The run and stop lights work fine. Is there some way to make this work?
The led strip wires are:
1- ground
1- run light
1- stop light
1- l turn
1- r turn

Look what fits under the seat without even wrinkling or getting it dirty!

Hello all,

Beginning of April I went for a trip around France (From Paris to the Mediterranean sea and back by the Alps).

Since I could not test my camera before leaving many of my takes were not usable.
However here is the video, it gives a glance of what you could see in 4 and a half days around here:

PS: I do not know if I should have it posted here or in the "other bike" section

I went to the local W-M today to pick up a few odds and ends. When done shopping and returning to my car, my wife said "Look at that!" and I looked around and saw this vehicle parked close by. As soon as I walked over for a closer look, the owner exited the store. He was a 70-something ex-military guy walking with a distinctive limp - hence the handicapped license plate. We started discussing his vehicle and he invited me to take it for a spin around the parking lot. Waaaaaay cooool! I can't recall all of the details, however I do remember that the vehicle had a Ford 2.3 engine and weighed in at > 1,700 lbs. It was super easy to drive with a 5-speed automatic transmission. Cost - $35K.

After a day filled with yard work and errands, I was able to escape for a sunset ride on the CB. I headed east through the local canyons and foothills along Highway 94; one of my favorite rides. I shot about two hours of video but distilled it down to just under 4 minutes, all of which is on my way back, heading west.

I mounted my Drift Stealth 2 to the engine guard with the handlebar mount that came with the camera. Unfortunately, the wind noise on the camera is unbearable, even at its lowest setting. Fortunately, I added the music of Ray LaMontagne - "Supernova." I found it fit perfectly with the images of the sun shining onto the screen.

It was a perfect way to wrap up the weekend.

Hi all! I've been searching on Craigslist and Cycle Trader for a CB1100. Would still like to find a 2014 Deluxe but, according to Honda in California, there are no new ones available for sale.

I searched but have only found one Deluxe in Oregon with 8000 miles for $8999 plus a few hundred dollar doc fee. Tires are probably close to having seen better days and a valve clearance check will be in order.

I really do like the look of the Deluxe much better than the Standard. The quilted seat, matching color side panels, 4-into-2 Chrome Exhaust, aluminum color engine and sprocket cover make this bike look much nicer than the Standard.

My second choice would be a 2013 Red with ABS.

So, if any members have a 2014 Deluxe for sale or know of a dealer or other private party that does, I'd appreciate if you would post and send me a PM with details. Also, if you have the same info on my second choice, the 2013 Standard Red with ABS.

One final question is do you think it would be possible to arrange financing through Honda on a private sale if I went to the original selling dealer for the bike?

Thanks!

Always a fun debate, my suggestion was to enforce a decibel limit, of course hoping my CB with Staintune would pass:-)

I made the mistake of leaving my bike under an oak tree overnight.

This is a sampling of the hard sticky mess:



The tank, seat, fenders, and fairing were covered in clear hard dots. I could feel a sense of panic setting in.

Fortunately liberal spraying of WD-40, allowed to sit a few minutes, followed by a long hot water bath saved the day.

Beware of sap dropping trees!
