I was looking at a beautiful CB1100 to buy, while out on the test ride, maybe 15+ mph around a rotary-like thing, the front tire decided it no longer wanted to remain in contact with the ground. Conditions were mid-day, sunny, clear, absolutely nothing on the surface of the road but a little hump. Down I went. I had already decided I loved the bike, so I of course purchased it anyway. The machine is gorgeous, the seller clearly had done a tremendous job keeping it in pristine condition. In addition to being a new owner of a CB1100, I'm also the owner of a fresh new broken rib. Anyway, that's my story.
Heck of a way to start off with your new bike...hopefully the broken rib isn't too painful and that there was little damage to the bike.
