So I'm not trying to be quaint (I work all day in IT at a university) but I am always surprised at what a small world it can be and how technology can connect the dots even further.
I wasn't a big fan of the spencer blue (sorry) but went to look at the bike last fall. I have been pining for the CB1100. See the pic below. My wife told me to buy it before I left the house and I took the afternoon off work and rode down on my CB 750 thinking I would. But they weren't being flexible on the price and wanted $500+ for freight and PDI which they had dropped from the rest of the 2014s. It also had 100 km on it. I left less than impressed, my CB110 dreams in tatters.

Then the blacked checkerboard showed up at the bike show at a great price with $300 in dealer store credit and no freight costs. Love at first site. I bought it the next morning.
Things always seem to work out as they should. Glad you didn't buy the 2016, W/R.
Cormanus, yes my VIN frame stamp ends in 057 also. Cable in the way.
