This thread started because there was less activity on the forum. Which makes sense as it is winter in North America and many of us have stopped riding and have switched over to winter pastimes.
When it comes to the CB1100, not much has changed over the years, except perhaps the new RS model which is not available here. But even if it was, its café racer style may not appeal to the majority of owners who already own the bike they like. So if there is nothing new, there is less to talk about except maybe Triumphs and Kawasakis.
I posted a long story of days gone by with the intention of adding something to read during our winter hibernation. Yes I am older than dirt and like to yap about the early years of motorcycling and the fun my buddies I had during the decade of decadence. But I still look forward to adding a few accessories to my CB1100 EX this winter and next year's riding season in the spring. If you don't have something to look forward to, life can get pretty dull. As one of my vintage riding buddies use to say, "If you don't enjoy life, what's the point of living?"
In any sport or hobby I have enjoyed over the years, people have come an gone. My wife and I belonged to a 150 member motorcycle touring club in the early 80s. It was not unusual for 20 to 30 people to leave each year. But there was always new people to take their place.
