I really like the blue!  Was that a stock color or painted?

Sometimes I still dream of buying a blue tank

...or going fender / side cover / tank:

But just the tank shipped is $1,500.

Yeah I think that's why I ended up buying the bike - the previous owner had the panels and tank painted. Did a great job. It isn't the same blue as stock - they described it as 'kingfisher blue'.

I did the same web-poking to see if that shade of blue was original or not. I assumed it was custom painted, and it looks awesome! Sometimes I think of getting the OEM blue tank for my Enfield.

Years ago, I had a one-year-color Candy Tahitian Blue '93 Nighthawk. It had a few scratches, so I showed it to a local painter and got a quote to repaint the body panels in a simple Honda metallic blue to avoid the cost of a three-stage candy job. Got a great price, $500 for the whole bike (this was years ago, remember), and when he was done, I was blown away at the shade. Just a tad darker than original, and he went ahead and did a candy base coat on it. Something about a really nice blue that can make a bike really pop.

Ok, not "my" CB1100 on the road. My CB1100 is still napping in Mom's garage till my next visit. 
But, went on an AI bender last night, during a cocktail-infused barbecue session. You see, Mrs. and I listen to background music on YouTube while we do stuff in the kitchen. One of our favorite channels is Studio Giscard, which is AI-generated "French Sounds" with AI-generated 1970's scenes around an AI version of Paris. It's great background music: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbgFe4eI8gUJW3TzFAuGx3w

Last night, deep into a grapefruit concoction Mrs. came up with, flipping 50/50 beef/pork burgers, I glanced through the window from the patio into the living room and commented about the image for the video we were listening to at the time. I said "That looks like 1970s Robert Wagner getting out of a car looking serious". That got me thinking... I pulled out my phone and started chatting with Gemini. First, I asked it to pretty much put me in a similar setting:

   

And here's where we ended up:

Oh my... Cool

And that's precisely why you can't trust any picture on the internet anymore

That tie!

RE: Let's see your CB1100 out on the road! - Nachodaddy - 08-09-2026

Wow! That is eerie. Dodgy

RE: Let's see your CB1100 out on the road! - pdedse - 08-09-2026

I think Gone resembles Walter White, aka Heisenburg, from Breaking Bad.

EDIT: Gone, ask AI to put a Heisenburg hat on you and let's compare.

Yeah, initially it put me in a 60s suit. I asked Gemini to make the suit more 70s style. The tie is part of it. I think I actually have a tie that looks like that.

Oh, Chat already thinks I look like Bryan Cranston.
