Let's see your CB1100 out on the road!

VA Rt.720 over the mountains.

So, how did the bike handle on the dirt?

So, how did the bike handle on the dirt? OK, but driving on steeply crowned roads with gravel piled in the center definitely takes more concentration. Can't imagine any Harleys, sport bikes, or even larger-than-CB1100 adventure bikes taking 720. The KLR would have been more at home - like the horses I saw. It was pretty rainy on the other side of the mountain, but slow and steady wins the race. Verdict: totally worth it, but not recommended! It is possible to drive 30 more miles (using 717 - which was glorious) and still get to there in the same amount of time. Now that I've done the short route, I'll try the longer one next time.

I'm still up for gravel. The portion of the road in the picture was fine, but there were other portions with more ruts, potholes, and slick rocks. Definitely a fun ride.
