I thoroughly enjoyed owning and riding my 2014 Honda CB1100 DLX, and really appreciated the camaraderie and wisdom of this forum. Would not have found it or worked out the cross country delivery of the bike without the help of a few members of this group.
Well about 2 years ago I had some major health issues, and ended up selling it. (In hindsight, I wish I hadn't!) The health concerns are all behind me now, I'm doing great, and I decided it's time to rejoin the sport of motorcycling. I spent some time trying to locate another pristine DLX, but had no success. I also spent some time test-riding a number of other motorcycles, including the new Honda Gold Wing. I decided to go for it and purchased this brand new still in the crate 2019 base model with the DCT on December 31 and got an outstanding deal plus special financing. The plan was to wait until winter was over to bring it home. Then COVID-19 hit hard here in NJ, including the death of my father who was in a veteran's home that has been decimated by the virus.
If I knew what a mess our world was going to be in I might have held off on this significant of a purchase. But I didn't. And whether the bike was tucked away at my longtime dealer, or here in my garage, it's mine and I'm making payments each month. So this past week I had the pleasure of finally taking delivery on this beauty of a brand new motorcycle! Can you see some family resemblance to the DLX? Both sweet motorcycle that are a delight to own, ride, and care for!
Wishing you all continued health and well-being, and plenty of joyous moments riding whatever bikes you are fortunate enough to own.
I've got some photos to share if moderators can assist. I've been trying for an hour with no luck.
