Riding out to watch the Trials Riders

[Jeephoto_imp]

My son and I, he on his Triumph Tiger 800XC and my CB1100DLX, rode out to Lake Bridgeport yesterday. Our goal, to watch the NTTA (North Texas Trials Association) in their competition.

Unfortunately, we got there just as the event finished and they were having their Awards ceremony, but I hope to go back next week to watch, and possibly compete with my TLR200.

I did notice that the CB1100 handles the freeways alot better than my previous ride, a KLR650. I still need to do a little adjusting on the windshield as my head got knocked around quite a bit at higher speeds. There was never any lack of power for passing. It ran smoothly the entire way there and back. I need to "toughen up" my posterior as that got a little sore after awhile.
