When I originally bought my 2013 CB1100 in 9/13, it was my "second" bike. I absolutely love the bike...even more now than I did when I first bought it! At the time I had an 08 VTX1800T as my primary 2up long distance bike. After about a year of owning both, I wound up selling the VTX as I rarely rode 2 up and the CB became my primary bike. My Wife stopped riding with me due to time constraints & scheduling conflicts. It became hard for me to justify owning 2 bikes, especially with a growing family. On the CB, I invested in panniers, new lower gearing (new sprockets) aux lighting, windshield, new seat and other accessories with the objective of making the CB into the perfect 1 up touring bike. Most of my riding is camping, over 300 miles per ride, and I'd like to extend that to 500 miles per ride. This has been somewhat challenging for me on the CB and still feel ok at the end of the day. I'd also like to occasionally tour on some flat dirt or pebble roads when the pavement runs out. The ADV category has been calling out to me for quite some time. It was either keep both my CB and invest in a new ADV bike only to discover I don't have the time to ride both...or....sell the CB.....which is what I did earlier today. I absolutely love the CB1100 and it was the best all around motorcycle I've ever owned. It was a VERY hard decision however I came across a great deal on a new ADV bike and the timing was right. I only hope I don't regret it, however time will tell. This forum is fun, educational, motivational, inspiring and extremely helpful. I only hope whatever ADV forum I end up adding will be half as good as all of you. I cannot thank everyone enough for sharing insight, experiences and ideas on a daily basis. This is not a goodbye. I plan on hanging around here as long as Ferret will permit...I will shortly be posting quite a few items in the classified section including a K&N Seat, Whitehouse Retro front Fender, Red Side Covers, Plot Chrome Chain Guard, National Cycle Windshields, rear chrome grab bar, SW Motech Evo side luggage racks, various leather saddle bags and more. I'll be checking in weekly... ![[Image: a3c642eeccbef4f97ecc6bc34c5394c7.jpg]](https://cb1100forum.net/forum/uploads/imp/201708/a3c642eeccbef4f97ecc6bc34c5394c7.jpg)

You are welcome here anytime. Life is short, follow your dreams. If you find out the ADV route is not the primrose path you were hoping it would be, there are always killer deals on new and used CBs you can pick up.
Let us know what ADV bike you got and how you like we. We are motorcyclists first around here, and CB enthusiasts second.
Have fun, ride safe.

Honda Lover, I'm sure selling the CB is weighing on you. If you end up regretting your decision, you should be able to pick up a nice used one for a pretty good deal.
I'm curious to see what ADV bike you choose...good luck.

Look forward to hearing about the new bike, Honda Lover. Doesn't look like you'll have too much trouble selling your mods'
