First Good Ride on the New Bike

[shysue2_imp]

Hi Guys, Today I was able to take my CB1100 Dlx out for a decent ride and get to know the bike a little better, and I haven't changed my opinion since yesterday one bit. If anything I'm even more convinced I made the right choice in bikes. Think I'll be keeping this one a long time!

Hubby & I rode through Rio Verde, Fountain Hills, up 87 and then out past Saguaro Lake on the Bush Highway, a quick bit of freeway and then through Fountain Hills and Rio Verde again. Ended up in Cave Creek where we had lunch at Indian Village (they have great Mexican food), and then I swung by my sister's house where I had to show off my bike. Unfortunately, she loves horses (she has seven) and is not into motorcycles so she didn't really appreciate my bike. Oh well.

Got a total of 174 miles in today and had a lot of fun. Ran into some gusty wind in some spots, but it didn't really bother me on this bike for some reason.

I can see a small windshield and maybe a Corbin seat in my future though. My buns were numb after long stretches of riding on the stock seat. It's a shame because I like the looks of the stock seat, but the comfort factor is just not there for long rides. Hmmm . . . I'll have to think about that. Maybe I'll just get one of those Air Hawk seat cushions, I don't know yet.

Anyway here's some pics from the ride today:
