			<description><![CDATA[I have ridden 50,000+ miles on motorcycles on streets and highways. I do not have a clue how many miles I clocked on dirt, but it was my three-year apprenticeship before I purchased my first street ride. Along the way, I observed great riding habits from phenomenal motorcyclists and noted a few things to avoid from the flip-flop, helmetless daredevil on a superbike turning out 160 BHP. For your consideration, see below:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">The Motorcyclist</span>: I never ride when I am angry, distraught, stressed, exhausted, or distracted. If something happens while I am riding, I respond, find a place to park, take time to reset, and then continue riding calmly and with focus.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Gear Up</span>: I always wear the full set of protective gear: boots, Kevlar-lined jeans, airbag, jacket, gloves, earplugs, and helmet. I know it sounds excessive, but like so many other things in my life, it has become an ingrained habit I do not even think about.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Pre-Ride Check</span>: Like Gear, I thoroughly inspect my motorcycle. It does not take long. I pay particular attention to the drivetrain: wheels, tires, air pressure, chains, sprockets, and brakes. When it is time to go, I want to go. When it is time to stop, I want to stop.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Warm Up</span>: When I start my motorcycle, I let it idle for 5 minutes while I slip on my gloves and helmet. Because a CB1100 is fuel-injected, it may seem like a quaint relic of the past that I should let go of. However, a CB1100 relies on oil to cool the motor. It needs to circulate before the engine spins at high RPMs. I also use this time to listen closely to the exhaust and engine. If something is broken, I want to know about it idling in front of my garage, not at 70 MPH on the highway.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Rolling</span>: I take the first few stops and turns slowly. I want the tires to warm up and to confirm that nothing has vibrated loose. I also have to check for bonehead mistakes, like when I didn't properly clip my brand-new iPhone into the mount. Thankfully, at five miles per hour, it gently fell into my lap. Not sure what would have happened if I had gunned the motorcycle to get to 50 MPH.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Focus</span>: There are many people on this Forum who are smarter and more experienced than I am. I know it is very common on group rides for people to use Intercoms to chat. Serious motorcycle tourers often listen to podcasts, music, and other content to make the journey more enjoyable. For me, when I ride, I only ride. I check the mirrors constantly, focus on the road rather than the instrumentation, and continually assess driving conditions (pavement, weather, vehicles, debris, animals). I rarely look at my speedometer or tachometer because I can tell how fast I am going by the sound of the exhaust and the gearing.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Trust</span>: Or perhaps more accurately, I have no trust in anyone riding anywhere near me. I watch the wheels of nearby vehicles to gauge whether they might drift into my lane, and I avoid looking at drivers' faces to prevent target fixation. I assume no one will yield as they should. While scanning, I am also leveraging lane position to create a makeshift escape route if something terrible happens. Although some of you may find it unnecessary and even questionable, I ride with my fingers always on the clutch and brake levers. Many motorcyclists have asked whether my hands tire or cramp. They do not, but that might be because after 45 years, all feeling has given way to the comfort I take in knowing I am ready to react. When I see a problem developing, I act decisively. I almost always either accelerate to swerve to avoid a collision or apply the front and rear brakes to slow the motorcycle without causing the rear tire to slide. It is very rare that I swerve and brake. I practice throttle management and downshifting to help with braking.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Speed</span>: If I am on a country road by myself, I always drive at the posted speed limit. Engineers factor in road geometry, sight distance, and clear zones when calculating a safe speed of travel. I follow that without exception. On an interstate, I sometimes have to choose between driving with the flow of traffic and the posted speed. In both scenarios, I give a wide berth to people driving U-Hauls, school buses full of screaming kids, and any vehicles that are so large they block my view of the road.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Turns</span>: I slow down before entering a turn, set a line, accelerate through the turn, and use counter-steering to maintain balance. I am always looking ahead, exactly where I want to go. At low speeds, that may be 200 ft. On the highway, that may be 1,000 ft. I maintain my position even if a slightly impatient driver wants me to go faster. If he wants to pass me, so be it. But I am going to hold my line and enjoy leaning the motorcycle back up on the other side of that turn, safe and sound. If he waves the one-finger salute at me as he passes to let me know he finds my judgment suspect, I will find a way to cope. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Parking</span>: When parking my motorcycle, I always look for a flat, level surface. The CB1100 weighs more than 550 LBS (250 KG) wet. If I park on an incline, the weight coupled with gravity can turn parking into a very bad day. I always park in gear if I am not using the center stand and always turn my front wheel toward the slope. <br />
<br />
If you find anything I shared questionable, throw the flag and correct me. If you could add to this Thread by sharing other best practices or lessons learned, the rest of the Forum and I would benefit tremendously. Let’s help one another become better riders by drawing on our experiences on the road, not only in a parking lot under the watchful eyes of an experienced instructor. Two wheels down.

			<title><![CDATA[Riding in the Rain: A Pragmatic Response]]></title>

			<description><![CDATA[Recently, I rode my motorcycle downtown to pick up some fruits and vegetables. The skies were gray, and rain was in the forecast. But I rode anyway. It has been too long since I navigated a wet road. I needed the practice. <br />
<br />
After I parked, a slight, gentle drizzle began.  <br />
<br />
When light rain starts to fall, it mixes with oil, grease, and dust on the road, creating a slippery, greasy film that makes driving much more difficult and dangerous. This light moisture acts as a lubricant, making the roads more slippery and significantly reducing traction. Unlike in heavy rain, this film remains constant. Tires on cars, motorcycles, trucks, and bicycles tend to spread it across the road until it evaporates or is washed away by heavy rain. <br />
<br />
For those who might be returning to cycling after a break or for new owners of a CB1100, I assert this situation is arguably the most dangerous road condition we face while riding our 550+ LB motorcycle. I encourage you to<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Recognize the "Slick" Period</span>: Oils on the road mix with water, making the first 30 minutes the most dangerous.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Smooth Controls</span>: Operate the throttle, brakes, and clutch with gentle, gradual inputs to avoid breaking traction.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Reduced Speed &amp; Increased Distance</span>: Slow down 5-10 mph and increase following distance, as braking distance doubles on wet pavement.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Keep Your Motorcycle Upright</span>: Reduce lean angle in corners, as slick roads significantly decrease available traction.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Adjust Lane Position</span>: Ride in the tire tracks of the car in front of you, as they often clear the water and oil.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Avoid Potential Hazards</span>: Avoid painted lines, manhole covers, and metal expansion joints, which become extremely slippery.<br />
<br />
I took a few pictures in hopes that my words could become a little more vivid:<br />

I am pleased to report that I remained upright and in control of my motorcycle. When I returned home, I addressed the oil, film, and dirt that had accumulated. <br />

I am a staunch supporter of ceramic coating, which I <span style="text-decoration: underline;" class="mycode_u"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6mnNM95Zmw&amp;t=1265s" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">applied</a></span> to my wheels, chromes, calibers, tank, and all other surfaces when I purchased my motorcycle.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Key Benefits of Ceramic Coating for Motorcycles:</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Superior Protection</span>: Shields paint and metal from UV damage, fading, oxidation, and corrosion.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Hydrophobic Properties</span>: Extremely water-repellent, reducing water spots and allowing dirt, mud, and rain to wash off easily.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Enhanced Appearance</span>: Provides a high-gloss, deep-shine finish that makes colors more vibrant.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Scratch Resistance</span>: Forms a hard layer (up to 9H) that helps prevent light scratches and swirl marks from washing or minor debris.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Heat Resistance</span>: Protects engine components and exhaust pipes from heat-related discoloration and buildup.<br />
Versatility: Safe for use on glossy/matte paint, chrome, plastic, and carbon fiber.<br />
<br />
It took less than 15 minutes to return the motorcycle to a proper state:<br />

<br />
If that road gunk is allowed to dry or harden, it can be quite difficult to remove. It can also corrode parts and damage finishes. If time allows, it is always best to remove it immediately following the ride. To help make that easy, I maintain a Chemical Guys' Shrine in my garage with easy access to anything I might need. <br />

"That was a CB1100! There is no way that dude was up on one wheel!!”<br />
<br />
~~~~~~~~~~<br />
<br />
Although I understand and have embraced power, speed, handling, and performance on a motorcycle with exuberance, there is one aspect of hooligan behavior that has absolutely no allure for me: popping a wheelie. I have popped more than one in my day, but the experience doing so always left me flat. I felt like a clown in a circus, riding a unicycle. <br />
<br />
I was also distracted by my natural concerns about the pain and suffering inflicted on whatever motorcycle I owned at the time. Forks, chain, and sprockets not to mention oil starvation and engine damage are at least possible outcomes of riding a wheelie too far or landing too harshly. <br />
<br />
In the East Bay of California, I believe I may be the exception, not the norm.<br />
<br />
Motorcyclists are popping wheelies on streets and highways much more frequently in my locale. A recent event in Hayward, CA vividly reminded me of that reality: <br />
<br />
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/9NEMtTS.jpeg" loading="lazy"  alt="[Image: 9NEMtTS.jpeg]" class="mycode_img" /><br />
<br />
This kind of behavior concerns me because it exposes pedestrians, cars, cyclists, motorcyclists, and anything else sharing the road to a needless hazard, in my opinion. As I prepped for this Thread, I was surprised to learn that many motorcyclists claim that popping a wheelie is the greatest moment they have on a motorcyclist. <br />
<br />
If wheelies are the reality of street riders, I went looking for someone who had a tutorial about popping a wheelie on a CB1100. I was quite certain there would be nothing to find. Humbly, I have posted the link in this Thread.  <img src="https://cb1100forum.net/forum/images/smilies/rofl.gif" alt="Hilarious" title="Hilarious" class="smilie smilie_25" /> <br />
<br />
If you are going to pop a wheelie, I hope you select a location that is safe for you and others. The author of this video is clearly skilled, thoughtful, and shares the love of the wheelie on a CB110. If this speaks to you, please be safe.  I hope this video reinforces any technique you may already use or enhance your approach. Take care, "Two-Wheels-Down" David]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The Island of Alameda was created in 1902 when a tidal canal (the Estuary) was created, joining Oakland’s harbor with the San Leandro Bay. The City of Alameda (as its is known in the East Bay) expanded its border to include the Island, and in so doing, the City of Alameda became an important shipping and military port. Although not as famous as San Francisco and Oakland, the City of Alameda  is a proud community of hard-working people. Four drawbridges and two underwater tunnels were built to connect the mainland to the Island. <br />
<br />
One of those bridges is The High Street Bridge, a double-leaf bascule drawbridge which spans 300 feet. The bridge raises 1,400 times annually to allow recreational, shipping, and Coast Guard vessels to pass.  Although not as famous as as other Bay-Area Bridges, 26,000 vehicles cross each year. The Coast Guard and Merchant Vessels would be unable to complete their missions without the High Street Bridge. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53i5WuL6zTM" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">High Street Drawbridge Video</a></span><br />
<br />
For the last 20 years, I have worked with the City of Alameda Fire Department. It began its proud history in 1884. The Fire Department had to close one of its five fire stations due to budget cuts and tough times. However, the service area has not changed and the call volume has gone up. They find a way every day, and they have earned my respect. When the City of Alameda Fire Department needs something, we respond immediately.<br />
<br />
I had to delivered an iPad to Fire Station 1 today. An iPad in Engine 1 failed. The Fire Captain replaced it from spare inventory we have onsite, and we needed to back fill that inventory. The spare inventory is just as important as the inventory in service. Stuff happens, and a Fire Department running at 125% capacity cannot afford to have any Apparatus out of service.<br />
<br />
Although I was on my motorcycle, I was the closest to Alameda City. I diverted to my office, picked up a spare, and began the commute to Fire Station 1.<br />
<br />
Today, I crossed the High Street Bridge on my CB1100EX for the first time. When I ride, I scan 200-300 meters ahead. As I approached the High Street Bridge, I noted the metal grate and knew that the change of surface would affect my motorcycle. At 40 miles per hour in traffic, it required an immediate response. I shifted backward on the bench seat and leaned slightly forward. I wanted as much weight as possible on the front tire when I left the pavement and rode onto the metal grate. I removed my fingers from the front brake (my standard riding position) and willed myself to keep the throttle constant although I did gently apply the back brake. I did not want the rear tire to fish tail if I failed to keep the traction of the back wheel constant. When I rode onto the grate, God and the Honda Angels were steering the motorcycle. The gentle "wobbles" offset each other while the motorcycle held the slightly "wiggly" line. When I traversed the bridge, the motorcycle return to that buttery smooth ride I know and love. I returned to my standard riding position, and I arrived at Fire Station 1 without incident.<br />
<br />
After I finished my business with the Captain, I thought about the "Death Wobble" video I posted previously and how fortunate I am to ride a CB1100. I welcome your critique and feedback about how I handled this moment and anything else I could have done to better manage the crossing. I welcome the coaching, and corrections, if I erred in my handling of this road situation. Have a great week.<br />
