These pictures are when we lived in Endwell Upstate NY. I had 5 CBX's but one 1979 had only 365 miles on it and I did not put it on the road. The other 4 were silver and red 1979 and red and black 1980. The 1980 red CBX had the very first Pipe Master 6 into 6 sold in the USA and came from Australia , beautiful made and sounding stainless steel pipes AND I could retain the center stand. We had a very active CBX Club in the North East with 3 or 4 rallies every year . In the winter we had tech rallies in good hotels and we always ate in good restaurants. I remember a 1995 Rally in New Hampshire when we had 20 CBX's on Interstate 89 riding two abreast in the left lane riding at 95-100 mph for about 15 miles, the sound of all these CBX's was unbelievable , no State Troopers in sight !
I sold the silver 79 and black 80 when we moved to NC and just took the red 79 and 80 with me. In NC I bought a 1994 and 1995 CB 1000 and when the CB 1100's came out I sold my last CBX 's , one of them went all the way to Australia via Ebay.
Do I regret selling some of my bikes :Yes but if the next bike is as good or better than there is no regret and I had CBX"s for over 25 years and now LOVE my CB 1100's !!! The only bike I did not regret selling was my RC 51 , as I was getting older the ergo's just did not fit me any longer.
Once again I have to say a big THANK YOU to Cormanus for being so kind as to post the pictures for me , without my wife or him there would not be pictures from me on the Forum !
