Island, Fl. south over the Skyway Bridge (is my CB1100
the first one over this bridge??), down into Sarasota, back over
the bridge, through downtown St. Pete and then over to
Jim's Harley Davidson where I do business with my HD.
A guy pulls up on a newer Road King, looks at my CB and
says... Now there's an OLD ONE! Too funny... I told him
it was brand new. He shook his head and road off. Maybe
my Harley Jacket had him confused? This CB is terrific...
all it needs is a windscreen, highway pegs (I'm 6 ft and
need to stretch out a bit), and a luggage rack and it would
be almost perfect. A belt drive instead of the chain would
make it perfect.
I had a similar experience at a coffee shop in LA. I was getting off my bike and the guy on a Ducati Monster parked next to me goes, "Holy crap, how does that thing look so new?" Well, because it only has 100 miles on it!
