I recently found out that the CB1100 does not like mud.
With all the recent rain and flooding here in North Texas, my yard is a "lake". Ankle-deep water in ponds around the yard. I don't have much of a driveway, so I usually ride through the yard, but that has become a problem. I've gouged ruts in the yard and made it through OK, until yesterday.
As I rode in, I slid the bike off the concrete into the spongy, soft ground. The front tire's bottom was instantly surrounded by mud and the bike stopped cold. I could go no further forward or back. Fortunately, there was enough concrete to put down the sidestand and step away from the bike to survey the situation.
I took off my helmet and gear and set to work tugging and pulling until I backed the bike out onto the concrete. Man, that CB is a heavy bike!
Can you get mud tires or knobbys for the CB1100?
Just kidding; I love this bike.
