So I was finishing a nice ride this afternoon. But wait, first you need to know that every bike I have owned or ridden before the CB was a dirt bike or a Bonnieville,Thruxton, Sportster. Mr. two jug, that's me. So this is my first anything of its kind, the CB. So I have been thinking that nice as it is it is a bit well anemic in the go department.
Back to the story, I am exiting a big curving ramp with no acceleration lane to speak of, way down in second up in the RPM a bit, a car is squeezing me so as at the top of the exit I twist the throttle....hard......in second gear.......I immediately said the name of my favorite Chinese food place Ho Lee Chit!!!!!! Soooo this is where the power hides in big four cylinders engines! Oh yeah this puts a whole new light on the thing doesn't it.
525 mile, 17 days in and easily the nicest thing I have ever ridden.
