Do you remember your first CB1100 Ride?

[pdedse]

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.

Oh my goodness Cormanus, I have the US '14 standard, but I really like that engine instead of all blacked out. Very nice.
Mine was nearly a year ago, Jan 2. Cold ride home in the Portland, OR area...but dry. Lots of traffic. Took my wife and kids about 3 weeks to notice that there was was new bike in the garage.
