Broken spokes -> NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE!!!

[Riko_imp]

Hard to say exactly but first thing strikes me is how dark/ rusty they look. I clean mine with metal cleaner and wire wool- painstaking but worthwhile. It’s good to give a ‘ping’ test as well from time to time. This guy may have put serious miles on there but hey it’s a beautiful bike and why would you not look after it?

I think he doesnt even have a car and does everything on his motorcycle, quite sure actually

I saw the state of his previous Honda and could tell he does everything on two wheels

Maybe the cb is too nice for a daily, but who am I to say wich bike is perfect for him, he absolutely was in love with the 2014 model.
This video gives hint of his CB1100EX love:




Imo, still one of the best looking bikes out there, and not in its class, but generally speaking.

So yeah, in conclusion, he tries to look after it in the best of his knowledge.

That said, I'm getting a whole lot of cuss, insults and hate from 2 members of one of the CB1100 facebookgroups:

Un-cuss-believable what the hell copes out f their mouth, I'm genuinly shocked.
Social media at its worst right there.

They basically put the guy down because: 'he's an idiot because he didnt look after his bike'
So its basicakly his own damn fault

The heat went up when hinted that build quality are not as expected after a 43.000km service of the spokes and broke at 50.000km
Hinting that Honda was to blame made em go loco...

I posted the same video on various english groups and a french and a german forum, all recived with tips and with understanding messages (like here )....and I really have to restrain myself NOT to think that most Americans aren't arrogant a-holes with a lack of basic manners, even they are only with 2 of em.

One of them basically started his comment with, 'he's an idiot'
Aftersome more name calling and insults, one of them even questioned if I wasn't the real owner, because 'I took the comments very personally'
I mean WTF, the owner isnt even a memember let alone he could defend himself
