Who rides the CB 1100?

We had a KLR tech day/cookout/swim party yesterday and it got me thinking. I did a quick search and didn't see this discussed before.

I find it interesting how different bikes attract different kinds of folks. Speaking from my limited observations and in really broad generalizations, it seems that doctors and dentists ride BMWs, lawyers and car mechanics ride Harleys, Aircraft mechanics, engineers, retired cops and retired military ride KLRs. All good people, all having fun. So what's the thread that ties CB1100 riders? Maybe we mostly rode in the '70s on bikes that look like the CB? Pilots seem to like them, though maybe pilots just like this forum A thread polling careers would be interesting.

Anyone want to post up with their career/hobbies beyond the CB? I'll start...

I am 58, run a t-shirt company and rode a CB400f in the '70s.

I'm a 55 year old retired city police officer, and now on a second career as a university police officer (much slower). I've had street and dirt bikes my whole life, with most of my miles going on an 02 ST1100 that I truly enjoyed.

The first time I saw the 14 DLX I fell in love with it, and had to have it. I think it is one of the most beautiful motorcycles Honda has ever made. Beautiful chrome and excellent build quality. I think it will be a collectible antique one day. I gave up the long distance work when I traded the ST1100 for the easy going DLX. I sometimes miss the power of the ST, but not the weight. I think this will be my last motorcycle, since I can't think of anything else I would want out of a motorcycle that the CB doesn't have. Just a beautiful, simple, well made machine.
