None of that since early February. I'm doing 500/600 miles a day like it's nothing. The bike is running better than new. I put more miles on it the first quarter of 14 than all of 13 (since March).

My riding season is going GREAT!!!!!!
1369 miles on the cb since March 27. The weather has been great here, hasn't it? Went to West Palm Beach on A1A and US1...just perfect bike for that kind of riding. 40 mph in 4th or 5th, 2200 to 3000, bike is just purring...

I have put nearly 500 miles on the cbdlx so far and I am not sure how many miles on the xrl. Odd miles here and there on customer bikes and other projects I have going on. Seattle has been wet up until this week which doesn't bother me too much but it does cut down on my seat time. This year is going to be a busy one for me so riding time is going to have to be a priority for it to happen.

Jan 720 miles
Feb 680 miles
Mar 380 miles
April 30 miles
(Thats just on the snow machine!.... It's still considered riding...)
April 65 miles on the 13' CB1100 (I rode in my snowmobile gear)

My Deluxe gets shipped on the 8th, so I should have it by the 14th! I almost considered the F6B last week, but this CB is just too fun to ride!

Riding every day now. It finally quit snowing in SE Michigan.
I have put about a 1000 miles on it this year.
The new Tourmaster Sentinel rain gear is great. Keeps me dry and warm.
I commute daily from Dearborn to Ann Arbor.
Will take an early summer trip to the Northern Chesapeake bay area and southern Pennsylania to see my brother Tom. He just got a CJ with sidecar that I can't wait to ride

800 miles and the initial oil change thus far… and car one door ding to the muffler for which I spent this morning with a torch, ice and a mallet to work most of it out. There is a slight ripple in the metal but it beats a crease/ding….

I would never get over that..I have one ding in my truck and my wife has one ding in her Accord. T's me off everytime I see them. I would kill if someone dinged my bike if I could find them.
