Funny how life goes, I originally joined this forum as a prospective buyer who was a bit skeptical about the CB initially. Fast forward to today, this bike has turned into my now longest-owned motorcycle in my almost ~15 year riding career. After dialing her in just the way I wanted it, she remains a beautiful, fun and reliable motorcycle that I legitimately feel I’d regret ever letting go of.
2020 and 2021 were pretty active modification/ridership years. After that, I’m ashamed to admit the bike took a backseat as my spare vehicle with very little attention and seat time, as I purchased another toy to keep me busy and entertained, with a bit more comfort features.
There have been instances where the bike has sat for months on end, and I’ve even contemplated parting with it, but the simple thought of dealing and entertaining timewasters and lowballers have kept me from ever listing her for sale. I truly feel she is one of a kind, or at least to me it feels that way.
With less seat time, my activity on this forum has also decreased significantly over the years. However, I’d still lurk around every now and again, and was well aware of the risk of site shutdown per Guth’s occasional updates. While I experienced glitches accessing the system occasionally, I was under the false hope that things would get sorted out. Records show my last login was last March, when I messaged a fellow forum member regarding some suspension parts for sale. I wound up passing on them at the time, and continued my semi-monthly lurking ritual as usual.
Until now, that I decided to log in to engage yet another member in discussions, just to find out my login credentials are no longer valid. It seems shortly after my last login date last year, the forum underwent the dreaded changes we all feared. While it’s disappointing to have lost my original screen name, realizing most of the invaluable wealth of knowledge has been preserved(or so I hope) is strangely refreshing. Great seeing a continuation of this board live on(EDIT: And HUGE shoutout to Cormanus, who assisted me in recovering my old username and post history, talk about doing God's work!). Hope all of you OG members from the old days are alive and in good spirits, keeping the rubber side down on your beloved CB’s while racking up more miles than I have. Figured this was the best place for a re-introduction, here’s a semi-current picture of my now 12yr old girl, La Caballota
