Traded her in last week and took a Suzuki RV 125 van van in part exchange - looked after the bike and got 1/2 the price i paid for it.
Thank you all for your help over the years and sorry to be leaving the community - and even more sorry to be leaving that awesome in line 4.
So Long Folks John
You have inspired me more than you know just with this one message. If I make it through this Virus, I will still have 15 years to ride both of my CB1100's if I make it to 80. I do not want to stop riding, been doing so from age 14. Loved just the thought of riding at that age and never knew it was going to be a life-long love. I dreamed of riding mini-bikes when I was 12. I know I am not the only one in this forum who felt the same way back then. I just got lucky and came into riding in 69'. The year that saw the birth of the Kawasaki Mach III. I never got one and started with a Suzuki 100 Wolf (new). It was all I could afford on paper route money. I guess John, if you were riding, were around the bike shops like I was, drooling over the big Harleys and the big Suzuki 500 Titan. Remember what a big bike a 500 was back then. Funny, I stopped riding V-twins, and returned to my roots with the 2 CB inline fours and the Kawasaki Z900RS. I guess I do not want to feel old and riding these 3 bikes takes me back to 1969 every time I get on one. May God protect you John, and the rest of us Hooligans still riding. Dang, I love this sport!
