I think motorcycles should have to follow the same laws as cars as far as noise goes, I also think we have to many guns in this country, I'll be glad to give both up when the laws are passed.

LOL, I am sure you are as serious as a heart attack about this. Better hand over your bicycles too!

Naw, folks, we have hit the DOLDRUMS here with this CB1100 forum. We are just becalmed in a millpond sea. I have been hankerin' to post some irrelevant, annoyin', controversial stuff that's sure to stir up a hornet's nest but it's apparent that I ain't the only one bored to tears with this winter and actually with this bike. Ain't sayin' she's not a beauty but unlike a adventure bike or superbike, she just don't get the blood moving. The CB1100 is the equivalent of a rolling case of arteriosclerosis, she's just phlegmatic in the extreme. That's why we get to carryin' on agin' each other about nonsense like ethanol, what to call a pig, growin' corn, and world peace. Ever' single dang thread on this here forum turns into a opinion-fest within about six posts.

I think the deal is we like the bike but there jest ain't much to say 'er do about it so we get to jawin' about ever'thing under the sun, which includes all topics up to and includin' whether we can akchully heer our arteries hardenin'.

Growing up on a farm, using no hearing protection, has cost me big time. Tractors with no cabs and open exhausts, chainsaws, vacuum pumps with no mufflers, trap shooting, all these things have contributed to my hearing loss. Nobody used ear plugs back then. Now I lay in bed just about every night,trying to fall asleep, with my ears a ringing.
For the last ten years or so, I have always used ear plugs when riding my bikes but I am afraid the damage has already been done. Save your hearing guys when it's gone it's gone,,,,

Yep, me too. Weird thing about my ears, I played rock and roll music for years, too, as well as growin' up on a dadblasted farm. Howsomever, I allus wore earplugs from the first after I took up streetbike riding. And I did wear 'em most of the time when playing loud music. But I've got the tinnitus going now, however my hearing still seems to be perfectly acute.

My ENT checked me out and said oftentimes a guy can have the tinnitus and still hear perfect. That stuff'll keep you up at night and cause you to start thinking about screeming blue murder.

What other kinda old guy health complaints can we get after here?
