Good guys ride CB1100

[Tortuga_imp]

For some of us raised in little rural Mayberry's in the US, all this security stuff is just hard to fathom. I understand completely where Ridem is coming from. I just started locking my doors and stuff a couple years ago at the urging of my brother who is a security nut. He can't believe I don't want to carry a gun everywhere I go.

Maybe if I lived in an urban environment, downtown Cinti for example I would have a different attitude. Out where I live it just doesn't seem so necessary. I would hate living in fear all the time.

Maybe I'm too much like your brother Ferret, but I'd say if I didn't have all the security measures then I would be living in fear. I guess it's horses for courses.

Do you carry a gun everywhere you go? Such a thing would be unthinkable for most people in Australia.

Go Ferret!

Go Ferret!
No, where did I mention guns?

Would just like to say I joined this forum about a week before I got my new. & my first CB1100 I got the deluxe model. I have meet a lot of nice guys on here! to be honest I love to ride, I have rode bikes over 40 years! To me forums are to help each other out, tell each other what we do to our bikes, what we add to them, where we find our parts and such at the best deals and tell each other about our mods I get on this forum everyday to enjoy , learn and to help others out! I think we all have fun on here I know I do! Most of us are over age. 50 some younger some in their 20,s so let's all get alone with each other and have fun and keep this forum the best forum of all times! We can cut up, crack jokes and all help each other out! I'm not picking out anyone at all we are all equal and we all grown men with the best bike in the world CB1100 I get home from a ride I get on here to check and see what all went on for the day. At our age we have rode many many miles! So let's keep this forum going for as many miles as we have all rode combined! That would be a lot of miles from all of us ole geezers lol. I hope every single member keeps on posting and most of all if someone needs help let's all pitch in! We all to old to fuss and throw fits! let's set a new record in the weeks to come for the most online at one time! I shake hands with each and every single member on here I hope each and everyone feels the same way !

Michael, thanks for the intro! You found me on my eBay listing and although I've not gotten any takers, I'm considering just storing it for the future. I'm very excited about the post-break in period as I'm taking it easy at below 3000 RPMs and below 75MPH. I short shift often to stop, and it's still a lot of fun but I can't wait to really ride her naturally. You're absolutely right, the CB1100 is definitely a "gentleman's" bike. I got the Standard only because I couldn't get on a red bike. I hate red. But I would gladly have paid the DELUXE price for the dual exhaust, larger gas tank, and deluxe seat. <Sigh>

Anyway, just a bit about myself: I'm 33, a native NewYorker, live and work in Manhattan, and this is my second bike. My first is a 1978 CB750K, all black. It's being stored at a friend's garage right now, and she's still a solid bike but once I laid my eyes on the CB1100, I just could not walk away without getting her.

Safe riding man, and maybe one day I'll see you on the road. To everyone else, have a safe ride as well and have fun!

Oh the irony, in light of how this thread changed...
