do you use your cb as a commuter

[fredkb_imp]

Hello everyone. I use my cb1100 as a commuter to work. I travel about 350 miles each week. 35 miles one way. I check the air in the tires every week and check and oil the chain and check engine oil weekly. I usually wash the bike about every 2 weeks. To anyone considering the purchase of this bike as a commuter, it works well for that purpose. I usually get 38 miles per gallon as I ride fairly agressively. I have rode below 3000 rpms with a passenger for a full tank of gas and got 45 miles to the gallon. I know a lot of you get 50+ miles per gallon. Do you get that mileage at a very relaxed pace. I travel a lot of country roads to and from work, constantly keeping an eye out for deer. The more I ride this bike, the more I like it. I can pass slow moving cars on those curvy backroads where there is very little passing room in a matter of seconds, instead of being stuck behind them for miles. When I ride in strong winds, you can barely feel it. The bike also handles short interstate runs with ease, keeping up with traffic does not even put a strain on the 5 speed transmission.
Just washed after 2 weeks of riding.
