Round 2! - EJ from upstairs - 03-07-2026
Hi Everybody!
I was a member of the old forum and found this new one today, so thought I’d say hi again.
I bought my 2014 CB1100 in May of 2015. It had one mile on it. My first (and still only) new vehicle. I have 17k miles on it now, and it’s been 100% trouble free and doesn’t use any oil (only Honda oil and filters). I can’t ever imagine selling it. I also said that about my beloved ‘89 Hawk GT. Still not sure why I sold it, and I miss it dearly, so I need to remember that every time an idea might occur to replace my CB with something else.
I did a 4,140 mile round trip on it from Colorado to Lake Michigan and Eastern Ohio in 2016. Since then it’s done a lot of commuting duties, canyon-carving day trips, and yearly 2-3 day tours of Colorado with my good Brit-bike buddy.
For those who are new to this bike, it’s a fantastic and smooth all-rounder. It’s a little heavy with the tradeoff being high stability for winds and speed. It’s approachable, easy to maneuver, and confusing to all but the most knowledgeable of motorcycle heads. I fell in love when it came out–an air-cooled bike that looks like it’s from the late 70s with analog gauges and metal fenders. It’s just pretty, and we all know this.
Glad to be back and thanks for keeping the forum alive.

I just reregistered, may of got cut off from my original email. I’m doing some research, may drive my 2014 Deluxe from WI to Utah & back, don’t like trailering it.

Welcome back, widude. Do you want to be reunited with a previous identity?
RE: Round 2! - widude - 06-09-2026
Hey, maybe some slight confusion? I was looking around, see that on the .com site I’m still there, old profile. Now this familiar red forum color that profile wasn’t here, at ‘.net’. Was there a switch that I was unaware of?
sourdough44, my old profile is over at the .com site, but it looks nothing like this, red. I know it’s work keeping things in order, not complaining.
