One month late, apologies for the illegitimate parking but so it be to get the photo.

Aaaaaah, white is always nice = beautiful bike

I love the white ones ... perhaps a secret desire to pull people over?

Great story and pics ZBill

In about 1979, my friend's cousin in France had a 2 cyl/2 stroke 250cc Motobecane and together with his girlfriend made a trip across Europe from France to Poland and back to Paris without any issue...

As to my white: CB, helmet, jacket, black pants and boots, when riding on two line roads or hi-ways, I have a feeling that some drivers are approaching me very slowly and cautiously, thinking that I am an unmarked motorcycle cop... happened so many times, while at the same time, I am looking around to see if there are any real ones..:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Unmarked Police Interceptor in Canada = be aware

Thanks for the story, ZBill. I didn't mean to hijack the monthly photo thread. I would start a new thread but I have no photos of my blue 1975 CB400F... and that makes me very sad.

That bike would certainly scare ME ... even up close, never mind in my rear view mirror!

zbillster Love seeing the old pics. If we do not have a thread of Members on their bikes day's gone by we sure need one ......... Hint , Hint

Start one use2b. But maybe put it in the “Other Bikes” section.

Don’t be too sure, Aussieflyer. I hear tell the police at Sale are poring over the forum.

Hope you had a good time ... my experiences in Intercourse have varied between fantastic and frustrating ... :rofl:

 

[emptysea]

Love Intercourse!

This is not a qualifying photo, but I post it because RockHop’s challenge has instilled a new awareness in town signs. I tried to remember to look for them on our last trip and I think this will be something I do on rides in the future.

Blue Ball, yes and of course Bird in Hand right up the road.

I jumped on Rt 10 on the way home. A nice curvy, hilly two lane highway I was looking forward to but it turned out to be an endless series of traffic jams because of all of the buggy's that were out. I guess Sunday is visiting day because they were all out and about. I had a couple of them with little kids waving at me out of the back, it was cute. I guess kids are going to be kids no matter how they're raised.

Gulf Shores Alabama with the Wife today .

Mods please remove these 2 post as i mistook the rules as the ride to eat any bike goes instead of this CB1100 specific thread - my bad

 

[Cormanus]

Use2b, I moved the earlier post to the ride to eat thread.

Farmersville, Texas claims Audie Murphy as its own ... however, the display and a nearby local patrol car do not make for a good composition with the CB ...

He was initially rejected by three branches of the military for being underweight and underage ... then after falsifying his birth certificate, he got in.

Did an overnight trip to Talimena Scenic Drive with the Samurider K&H tall seat arriving just in time to try it out ... Talimena is fun for motorcycles, lots of elevations and curves, and while it used to be clogged with retirees in slow-moving Winnebagos and Buick LeSabres a decade or two ago, every time I've been in the last 7 years, I've only seen one or two cars and was able to have lots of fun with the throttle, gears and brakes.

But I digress ... I was on the lookout for local pride for the contest ... most towns failing miserably ... so this is the best I could find.

Technically, not a town, but a nation ... worth a stop. It was Sunday so everything was closed, but they have a museum and other attractions.

This is where you turn off of 271 northeast of Clayton, Oklahoma:

And Paris (Texas) has a nice square with a European-esque fountain and this elegant working playhouse.

Since I talked about Talimena so much, here's the west entrance on the Talihina, Oklahoma side ... terminates in Mena, Arkansas.
Poteau and Heavener (Green Country Inn, with dining car restaurant across the street) are good places to stay just north of the middle.
