Design Disadvantages of the CB1100

[SanPete_imp]

The second photo is Hwy 191 in Eastern Saharizona, just up the hill from the colossal Morenci copper mine. It's a fun-fun road and was in terrific condition when I passed through there a few years back, but it gets so little traffic that there was a fine layer of dust on the road, and my back tire was walking out if I went a little too fast around the hairpins.
It's a long way from anything, but still a beautiful and fun road.


The little green-circled things are those huge ore trucks that are as big as condos, and the drivers have to climb 2 flights of stairs to get to the drivers seat.

The second pic with the little green bike is Highway 36, up in Northern California, between Red Bluff and Eureka, CA. I've ridden Blue Ridge Pkwy, Topanga, Angeles Crest, Palomar, Tail of the Dragon, Million-Dollar Hwy, all over Colorado... and [url=https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Red+Bluff,+CA&hl=en&ll=40.389443,-123.225403&spn=0.874435,2.113495&sll=33.176066,-109.354477&sspn=0.240232,0.528374&oq=red+bluff+&t=h&hnear=Red+Bluff,+Tehama+County,+California&z=10]Highway 36 is my favorite motorcycling road in the world.
According to lore, the road crew couldn't get the earth-moving equipment up there, so they just built the road around the natural, uncut geology. There are lots of decreasing-radius corners that sneak up on you, corners that apex at the crest of a little hill, and it's just the greatest, most fun & beautiful road I've ever ridden on. It's 600 miles away from me, but I can't wait to go there again this Spring.

None of my pictures of it are very good, because it's too much fun to ride, and it's a drag to stop to take pictures.





It just goes on and on and on like this all day long...

Not strictly true; they're quite good enough to be interesting.

I complained about the interruption to ring that photography entails. The Ferret, bless him, came back with this post, [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1767.]http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1767.

I've been trying it. It's an improvement on stopping, but it does require you to slow down and be pretty damned careful about what's going on around you.

Maybe you should get the well-balanced dog to help you out with picture taking?

"Tink!"

It's a beautiful sound. And, yes, I've heard it.

Absolutely, it's the bike's way of telling you, "Well done".

Those guys at Honda think of everything, don't they?

I have been told is the exhaust and not the engine fins :-(

I've no real idea what it is, but it's a lovely sound. I'm sure most bikes used to do it back in the day.

True, my '84 magna did it loud and well if there is such thing.
