I've owned one HD...a 2004 1200C...![[Image: bb098312f4f7e1d91905b01164a4335f.jpg]](https://cb1100forum.net/forum/uploads/imp/201603/bb098312f4f7e1d91905b01164a4335f.jpg)
Visceral...I didn't know what that work meant until owning this bike. Bought it new and had it for 9 years.

And then one day I got into an accident. With the insurance money in hand, I had a decision to make...get it fixed, fix it myself and save some $$, or sell it wrecked and pocket the insurance money. Bike had 33k miles on it, ran like a dream, always had people asking me about it, was always asked at the dealership when I was going to upgrade. My reply was always the same...I've already got the best bike you guys make. It was simply, for me, the bestest lookin' bike out there at the time. I own one HD apparel item: the HD t-shirt given to me when I bought the bike new.
Never thought I would buy a Honda...but then I saw the CB1100...ergonomically, could be a little better for me, but visually...it's the bestest lookin' bike there is, the new Triumph Street Twin and the MG V7 are runner-ups. So if the look doesn't move me, I find it difficult to get too excited about the bike.
Nothin' wrong with that '04 Sportster. Very fun bike. Skulls and bandanas...you can have 'em.
So I sold it wrecked, pocketed the insurance money and bought a 17' ski boat. Kids and I have had more fun than I could imagine. : ) oh...and yes...we ski and wakeboard on that river in the top photo...the Columbia.
