Welcome to the CB1100 Forum

Spent half my life in the Northland, mainly Minnesota. The fear of hitting a deer at night (and left hand turners - which took me out for about 25 years) was very stressful up there.

I was wondering what the back story was on the old site. Last I heard communications was very low on his priority list. I was kinda hoping he'd just turn it over to a new crew - but this works!

I keep thinking of selling the 2014 CB. Even had it set up for touring with hard bags, windscreen, GPS mount etc. But I think my long ride days are over. Wind noise (even with good plugs) has given me tinnitus and longer rides aggravate it. We shall see though. Plus to get to the good riding roads you have to get out of the valley - and then even worse.....come back! Heading north we don't have many choices and none are good. South is worse. But keeping it seems to be the path of least resistance. I like the looks of the red 2013 CB better, but really like the 6th gear and the gear indicator on the 2014. I happen to have lower bars on the 2013 (added to accommodate a fairing which has been removed), stock bars on the 2014 - which kinda feel like ape hangers after spending a lot of time on the 2013.

When I lived in Duluth Lake Superior blocked several directions! LOL Pretty funny.

You know, I always thought these bike would turn into highly desirable cult bikes like the W650 (I think they jumped the shark with the W800, not nearly as attractive) and it appears I misjudged that. That said; I find it very desirable so pfft on the rest of the world. :^D
