Hi Django. Great video, thanks! They really put that car to the test going off road, and on a race track! Too bad I don't speak German!

Once again at one of my favorite targets for a half day trip: the Hegau (Area west of Lake Constance in Germany).
In the background you see the Hegau Vulcanos, in the very back the silhouette of the Alps.

Today's milestone is: 5,128 km.

The new Kawi, now called miniRed, has already exceeded 1000 km today.....

.. and when I came back home, it showed 1300 km

Todays total = 322 km/200 miles on one full gas tank , and shows 40 kms to empty.
During today's trip, I seldom exeeded 115 km/h.
It is estimated that on a divided hwy, at higher speeds and revs with a full tank, this bike will not make more than 300 km.

Still have not learned how to post photos but I turned 68000 miles as I pulled in my garage on 8/22, the day before leaving for the Rally.  The 69000 mile mark was hit on 8/27 at the rally on a ride with Cheryl to Abington, VA. Finally, 70000 rolled on Labor Day morning on a rural road in northwest Indiana.  That gives me a total of 102,000 miles, give or take, on the seat of a 2013 CB1100.  You’d think I’d be a better rider, right?

Edit:  figured out my photo posting issues.  Fair warning for all this rediscovery might mean to members.

Missed 69,000 exactly, but did capture this whimsical odo shot a bit later on in the ride.

You're too modest, EmptySea. Congratulations on the miles.

Great start, with many more miles to come. But your “Big Red CB1100” remains my favorite motorcycle. Smile David
