nice afternoon

Lois works nights and I'm off till Sunday so we put aside our little chore list today and took off on a spur-of-the-moment ride this afternoon. Managed right at 100 miles on a nice loop through the mountains here.

Some of it was brisk, and some of it was slower and a bit more contemplative, but all of it was exceptionally nice, with the weather being just perfect as evidenced by the number (lots!) and variety of other motorcyclists we saw today; felt more like a Sunday rather than a Friday!

The CB performed flawlessly as per its brief. The little bit of driveline lash is really the only thing preventing it from a perfect scorecard. I must say that (intellectually, anyway) I was put off by the overall weight of the thing when I first got it but now I really delight in the substantial, secure, but still light-on-its-feet feeling I get when working through the twisties or, frankly, just the outstanding quality of the overall ride in almost any situation. I just continue to be so impressed with this bike and can only nod to whatever corporate decision (or piece of karma) that resulted in Honda bringing this to the USA; thank you, sirs!

Anyhow, a couple of pics, trying (with little success) to catch a little color of the day:





The CB in CB1100 I thinks stands for Completely Balanced... What a bike!
