Call it a fluke but I had two guys come up to me at a stop and rob to look at my motorcycle and complement me on what a clean example it was to be so old. Both guys had HD's of the big twin variety. Both had had 80's and 90s somethings CB's in the past of the 650 and 750 variety. I was kinda shocked to be honest.
We chatted a bit and I told them about the CB1100 and how I really would love to have one. They said a CB what? I described it the best I could as being a standard ect and they were eating it up. I bet these guys go look at one. I dont think a lot of people even know about them.
Anyway, it made me feel good for somebody to compliment and appreciate a 2,500 dollar motorcycle when they were riding something that cost 8 times that much. I am as guilty as the next guy about pre judging some Harley owners but just like anything else most are good guys and a handful give them a bad name sometimes.
