Sounds like you are really enjoying your CB. Still waiting for the first ride of 2016. Today is the first day above 32 deg in 9 days. Roads still have snow in spots.
Ride safe my friend.

I am, Rick, thanks.

I hope you're able to ride very soon... I understand that "pent-up" feeling of being unable to ride. Hang in there.

Thank you very much, Cormanus!

I am so enamored with this CB1100. I loved the CB550 Four I had back in 1975 but this new motorcycle takes the fundamentals of that bike and simply expands them beyond what I thought possible. It's so smooth, incredible torque at almost every level and comfortable. I really didn't want to stop riding this afternoon... had to laugh at myself.

Glad you got out, but I don't have a lot of sympathy for you regarding winter....your spring starts when? In like three weeks? Lol. Keep riding! Oh..and look for a trailer unless you're riding up to VA in June.

Sorry, MTC... Living in your neck of the wood would require me to get counseling.

I'll probably have to take a raincheck on the rally this year my friend... time, finances and distance.

Wonderful that you like the bike so much. I feel likewise about mine...I am intent on getting more seating comfort, but that will come in time...
