One of the things that was a pleasant surprise about the CB1100 was that it had the same control pods as my 20 yr. old CB750.

Yea, if you own multiple bikes it really stinks.. Sunday I rode the ST, Monday I rode both the Majesty and the CB, Tuesday I rode the CB, Wednesday I rode the Majesty, today is Thursday I am riding the CB up to Jeffersonville to meet a buddy for lunch (only motorcyclists would think nothing of driving 100 miles each way for cheeseburger lol ). It's driving me nuts hitting horns when I want to change lanes or turn, hitting the cancel t/s button when I want to beep a warning. And now, because they are not the same, it's happening on all 3 bikes. Don't know whose brilliant idea this was but it wasn't so brilliant if you ask me.
Fear not ferret for help is on it's way. I have deployed a rather large and empty van to your residence 'Chez Ferret' (which I found through your I.P address
).I will relieve you of your surplus motorbikes and hey presto: no more confusing switchgear to worry about!
See, I'm all heart

Not just motorcyclists. We flyers have a ritual callled the Hundred Dollar Hamburger. Fly to a distant airport, have lunch, fly home. Although with fuel prices these days it's more like a $200 hamburger.

Go to some of the more touristy areas of London and you pay at least that, walking in off the street!
Same goes for concerts, trains, budget airlines, sporting events... Anywhere you don't have other choices.
