80 mile trip to the grocery store?

[CB4ME_imp]

A quick trip to the corner grocery store for a can of sweetened condensed milk somehow ended up as a 80 mile ride, complete with pictures. Funny how that can happen, especially on a new CB1100

I tried to stay on main roads only:

Typical scenery in north central Maryland:

A nice stream in southern PA:

A mile from my house:

My wife was waiting patienly when I got finally home.

"Back so soon Honey" she smiled. Man, I love my wife. :heart:


Edit - I need a lesson in how to post a picture.

You may need a lesson on how to post with a post... But you certainly don't need any help taking awesome CB pics! Very nice. Thanks for posting!

Looked like a beautiful trip to the store

Hey CB4ME, made a few quick edits for you, although it appears that one image has been moved or removed.

Looks like a great trip to the grocery store!

Guth -

Thanks for fixing my pictures. It's been several years since I messed with photobucket.

Now for practice on posting pictures

There aren't that many switchbacks in south central PA but I found a nice one yesterday. (Note: going uphill "fast" is a lot easier than going downhill "fast". But the CB1100 kept me out of trouble)

Wrapping up a memorable Memorial Day, the wife and I did a nice 76 mile ride.......and the verdict's in. She likes the CB1100 more than our recently sold late model Bonneville. And so do I. And so do a bunch of folks over at Chesapeake HD.

We wandered down to Susquehanna State Park before grabbing some lunch in Bel Air, MD. A very nice day!

Mileage on a tank of gas (with 60% of the time done 2-up riding) was 45.5mpg. Not bad for a bike with only 300 miles on it.

Makes me want to take a trip to the Store !

It dried up enough to take a ride today. That's a nice local orchard in the background.

The bike has undergone a few modification since that first "long ride" back in May.

Is that a barbecue smoker on the back?
I do like the chrome chain guard though
