2011 cb with .5 Klm's on the clock
#1



Hello to all,
I have been off line for a while and been scratching together my dollars to purchase a cb1100. It has taken time and right up untill I had the money in the bank there were lots of bikes for sale here in Australia then, bugger all. I sure felt like the Gods were being a bit unfair untill a Wednesday night 2 weeks ago I checked gumtree and BOOM! there was a 2011 cb1100 for sale as new. I got on the phone and he lived over the boarder, already had one himself and had purchased the bike as a spare of the moment thing, trailered it home and put it in the shed. he was one of the nicest blokes I have met and it had never been riden. Drove to his place, we agreed on a price, shook hands on the deal, no deposite just an agreement, as it should be. A week later on Saturday I turned up with the folding stuff, he had a new battery for me, a seat cover, a bike cover and a new helmit he wasn't using. Loaded it onto the trailer, got it home. Sunday popped in the new battery and up came .5Klm, I couldn't believe it. did some checks, hit the GO button and it purred into life.
This is how I got here, now let the adventure begin

Hey fellers, here's a pic of the speedo, Never purchased a vehicl with these numbers in my life.
Rode it around the garage before I thought about taking a snap. This is a snap when I first saw it, I was pretty well committed from the get go.
