It was damaged by someone banging on it trying to dislodge a chunk of ice that was stuck inside. Don't ask me how I know this.

Warm enough (37f at 8:00am, 47f at noon) to commute one more time this year. Got to ride about 16 miles at lunchtime to get what's left of my hair cut, but then got tied up with the fascinating world of insurance at the end of the day so didn't get out until after dark.

Neat showcase.

Looks almost like one of those toy BMW car-in-o-box dealership displays.

Great pic. The ‘13 is the best looking CB (IMO). Thumbs Up
This is an old picture from the fall, but I realized it was my avatar and I had not posted it here at all. It is probably my favorite shot of my bike that I’ve taken so far, I credit the overcast sky. Seems to always make the best lighting.

This is at Nimrod Lake/Dam, about an hour from my place, depending on which way you go. It is right off of Scenic Highway 7, arguably the best road in Arkansas. It doesn’t have the hype and lore of some of the other famous roads here, but it spans almost the entire state from north to south and has several of the best 20-30 mile stretches anywhere. It cuts through both the Ouachita National Forest and Ozark National Forest; the states largest and most rugged swaths of public land, in addition to crossing the Buffalo River; an Ozarkian institution and National Park as well. A Mecca for many. I ride it very often and feel blessed every time.

Great pic of the 13 db. Best looking? Maybe. Sportiest? NO doubt!

Alright, alright. We can’t all have a DLX. I do love my ‘13 though, 5 speed and all

Lol well some people Do qbelieve the 13 is the best looking. Ask our fearless leader Guth.

I really liked my 13, and if it had had a silver motor, and double wall chrome head pipes, it would probably still be in my garage with about 52,000 miles on it. 5 speed and all.

I do feel it was the sportiest example of the CB that came to these shores, and coming up on 7 model years old now still holds it's own in the looks dept.
