Data Migration Is Starting

[rdprdp01]

Thanks for your exemplary work on this!  I'd hate to think where we'd be without your invaluable contributions.

You are very kind. If this Forum ceases to be, it will be because the Members have decided to bring it to a close. I will not let technology mishaps and administrative matters bring an end to something I believe is worth preserving for the next generation of CB1100 riders. Not on my watch.

There are better mechanics and tuners on this Forum than me. Peterbaron and The Ferret immediately come to mind. Cormanus, Whoops, Magarider are experts, too. There are a long list of others. But I believe all would agree with me that with how the CB1100 engine is tuned, the gearing of the transmission, the quality of the materials, the air-cooled motor, and other attributes of the CB1100 give us every reason there to believe that the CB1100 (any vintage) can roll for another 50 years with basic maintenance and mature riders. It falls to us to train the next set of owners. Honda wants those folks to buy newer bikes, most of which have inferior engineering, in my opinion.

I would like to believe the Members of this Forum are not only working to help one another now but also the folks who will continue to ride our motorcycles when we are all in CB1100 Heaven. 

I know I have already started hoarding a few of the most likely to fail parts for my motorcycle. That said, I believe changes in technology will enable us to source, print, fabricate, or modify parts to keep these great motorcycles rolling for a couple of more generations, easily. However, without this Forum and the 200 or so active Members, the parts will do me no good if I cannot get them properly installed and maintained.

We continue to pull data in small batches and upload. To the best of my knowledge, the only people we have impacting are hackers who tend to focus attacks on cb1100forum.com between 12:00 - 3:00 AM. We will continue to be conservative and respectful to limit the impact we have on Forum Members still using the old site. Have a great weekend. David
