Do you remember your first CB1100 Ride?

Indeed I do. My wife drove me half an hour to catch a train. I walked to the bike shop from the station after a further hour on the train. Put on my helmet and went for a test ride—the bike had done just over 2,000 kms. Went back to the shop and said I wanted it. They let me ride it to the bank to get a bank cheque for them and then I rode it home. Marvellous it was. Here it is at the first fuel stop.

So let me get this straight, you rode the bike to the bank to get the check to pay for the bike? I like everything about that story.
