Your Last Bike Before the CB?

[Inhouse Bob]

I did much the same on my cb400f. I loved it and would do countless miles back and forth to college and girlfriends homes, all over Texas. But we were also just a bit younger then I would put out the passenger pegs and lie on the tank for hours without a care, cruising at 85 down I-10, usually tucked behind a semi so as to save gas. I tried that riding position the other day on the 1100 (not the semi part) and it was fine except that my neck won't let me look forward from that position any more :-( I also feel much more susceptible to death than I did back in the day.
It occurs to me now that I never carried any tools beyond what might live under the seat and certainly never had a patch kit or pump along. The front break pads stuck once and so I just removed them and rode for another year before saving enough to fix them. Jeez, I was an idiot. But I had fun.
For the record, that bike's top end (on 1-45, Houston to Galveston, 4 AM) was 114 indicated.
