The Old&New Itch

[rocket_imp]

I was talking to Houtman about this same topic & why we were drawn to the CB1100. We like the classic look of old bikes. They're REAL MOTORCYCLES. Gas tanks, fenders & side covers were designed by artists. The Italians went as far as designing beautiful engines. Real bikes have two round analog gauges, not a computer screen. I'd get off my 70 Bonneville at a restaurant; turn around; and just go weak at its fabulous classic lines. Yes, they're great to look at. And that's why I bought a CB1100. Being widowed, my daughter is always making sure I'm OK. She recently told me that she has not seen me this happy in many years and she's glad that I bought this bike. Good therapy ? Maybe. I don't care what it is. I'm happy.
Feret: Thanks for a great Forum where we can meet other mature riders who know what a real motorcycle is supposed to look like & makes us feel good. Rocket
