CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge

[Gone in 60]

I sort of like taking the CB1100 out of my weekly commute rotation. Now, every time I ride it, I feel like I'm being rewarded. Not that my other bikes aren't as nice, but they're just not as... special.

I hadn't ridden the CB to my weekend job at the Petersen in quite a while, and Mrs. Gone was going to spend the day on a continuing education project, so we agreed to go our separate ways and reconvene in the evening for dinner and cocktails. Plus, being Superbowl Sunday, I had no idea how traffic would look in L.A., so if it was jammed anywhere, I could at least slide past everyone.

Traffic was nil, and I had to watch my speed more than anything else. If there was any gridlock, it was in the air as banner tug planes were converging in the area above SoFi Stadium.

I made a day of my ride due to the lack of traffic, and got lots of pictures. Since our topic is a point of interest more than 25 miles from home, I had to pick one. I figure the Petersen Museum would be a good choice. Right now, the streets are pretty torn up for ongoing subway construction, so it's hard to get a beauty shot of a motorcycle from a wide angle in front of the museum. So, this is the best I could do. Right now, the featured exhibit is Bond in Motion, the largest display of James Bond movie vehicles that has ever been shown outside of England.
