My 2 up ride - redReno_imp - 05-06-2013
Yesterday we went up Palmoar mt, the CB11 handled great!
After we rode down, one of us was far behind and ended up taking a wrong turn. While we waited, my friend noticed his R1 looked kinda funny, kicked his rear tire and his boot went INTO it
His tire was going FLAT! Long story short, he thought he had road side assistance and I had to give him a ride to his place (45 miles away) to pick up his truck. This is the same friend who gives me crap about not getting a sport bike, he really didn't want to ride with me haha so I am mainly posting this picture hoping he finds it if he ever googles his last name.

He ended up somewhat enjoying the ride, he never grabbed on to me and he said it was comfortable. I forgot my spanner wrench so I didn't adjust the rear supsension, they were on 2nd out of the...5 settings. But the CB11 did just fine even with the 315lbs load + our gear, did waaaay better than my Nighthawk did with my wife and me in fact. Now I really look forward to giving my old lady a ride.
I wonder what mileage I got out of this ride. Going up Palomar I was going up about 5 miles in 2nd gear, and half the tank was riding 2 up averaging 45 mph. I won't fill up until the weather gets better and I ride again.

Ha ha, thats great. That what he gets for ragging on you about the CB11. FWIW, I always carried tire plugs and a can of fix of flat just in case. Never had to use either but loaned them out a time or two.

It's nice of him to admit that Honda is #1, but he needs to learn which finger's which.
