100,000 KM on 2013 CB1100

[bigsheep_imp]

My CB came to me with 3200 miles on it in February 2016. Last week while out on a ride with fellow member Gurgus Bee I rolled 100000KM. Considering how short the Canadian ride season can be, and the fact that I'm a family man with two young boys this was quite the feat. I'm still quite happy with the CB although we could both stand to lose a few lbs. The CB's mini-me the 1981 CB125S has me valuing weight much more these days.

Congrats Bigsheep, 100K kms is a nice number, and it might be the highest kms CB ridden in Canada.
Are you planning to replace it with another, younger CB1100 or keep on riding?

Congrats bigsheep, a worthy milestone indeed!

Excellent bigsheep, and congratulations!

This CB is permanent collection, it's worth more to me than I could possibly get for it with 100K on it. My last ride was around 200 Km and I will need to replace the seat or get it reupholstered.

You've got many more rides ahead of you. 100k km is maybe half what I reckon the cb1100 can do comfortably. At 200k just give it a bit of an overhaul and keep on riding!

How many valve clearance inspections and/or shim swaps did you have to do in that time out of interest?

Congratulations bigsheep. Welcome to the 100,000 kms + club.
