[Guth_imp]

Saw another CB1100 in it's natural environment today. Spotted heading east on US30 just outside of Portland. Rider was wearing a black & white jacket. Anyone here?

Not me, what color? The weather promises to be good Tuesday and Wednesday so I'll be out on the westside.

It was red. I think it might have had a small fairing as well, but didn't get a real good look.

I've only seen a black one out of Hillsboro.

This is number 4 for me. The most surprising sighting was just a couple of blocks from my house.

After a year since buying my CB I've yet to see another on the road. Strange! That will all change in May for sure.

For a mass produced bike it is more rare than the niche boutique bike, the Moto Guzzi Griso; which are thicker than flies in the Phoenix area. Just odd I tell you!

Well in Cinti, which doesn't have a Guzzi dealer anywhere close, I have seen about 5 CB 1100s and ZERO Griso's. I did see a Norge the other day though. I talked to the rider, it came from the Cleveland area, the northern end of the state.

I'm just happy to hear that some are riding at all.
Up here in the land of ice and snow nobody is riding until spring.

That was me -- I live in N Portland and had just finished a run up Skyline to see if the road would poke above the clouds (nope), then down Germantown Rd. I started heading west on 30, but then decided I wanted to head back to Portland for coffee. Took the St. John's bridge then rode the ridge by U of P into town, a nice view there. Not a bad ride, the CB handled riding through a cloud and cold wet curvy roads nicely.
