CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge

[Tev62]

My at-the-time 91 year old mom cleaning my '14 Standard headlight. I did an Oregon to Illinois trip over 6 days and she decided I wouldn't be able to see at night because of all the bug accumulation.

Aaah, that's what Mum's do don't they? They worry about you and look out for you.

Hey.. Sorry for not being around.

There are other threads here for you to post your favorite pictures. The purpose of this "challenge" is to get participants out on their bike exploring a little bit. Every so often, we deviate from this theme. For example, pix with your pet, or pix of your bike in your garage, didn't quite meet the purpose, but they were opportunities to get more participation. However, the rules state that the picture must be a new pic (taken after the challenge is presented) so this one meets neither the "get out and ride" goal nor the "take a new picture" goal.

If I lived where Gordo apparently lives (Indiana) and it was October, I'd be suggesting a pic in front of (or on) a covered bridge or maybe a pic of of your bike in front of a farm field that is being harvested. Or maybe one in front of an apple orchard or pumpkin patch. Or football field (either kind). But it's not my turn, so I turn it back to Gordo for a new subject. In the meantime, if someone wants to start a thread to post our favorite 2 pictures of our CB1100s, I'll happily contribute and enjoy threading my way through the posts.

So... where did we land on a monthly challenge? I'm finally home for a few weeks and can ride again!

 

[Cormanus]

We landed, bounced, and have not yet returned to earth.

... some would argue, " ... nothing to see, move along."

The ball's in Gordo's court, I think. EmptySea, as the curator of this thread, ruled Gordo's challenge fell outside the rules and invited a new one. That hasn't happened.

Gordo? Over to you.

I had some better ideas than the one I came up with, B U T......my bike is broken, and that was the best I could think of. I now have the infamous brand new I.A.C.V. and my project tommorow( I just returned home from work and mowed my wet grass) I will be tearing into my bike blind folded to hopefully fix this "high idle". I sincerly wish I could have done better fellas!

Ouch! Sometimes on a straight section with no traffic, I close my eyes and count...zero, one, two...I can't make it past 2 for good reason. Gives me a case of the willies and heebergeebees...I have no good reason for doing so.

Good luck with the project, Gordo. I sincerely hope the install goes as well as it can and your idle issues go away afterwards.

Only time I’ve ridden blind is when my contacts shifted after hitting a big bump. Sorta hard to take a picture blindfolded… you don’t know what you’re gonna get.

Gordo, with respect, it’s not clear what you’re setting here. Checkout the rules for the challenge at the bottom of this post, http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=14115.

You don’t have to participate in the challenge; just set it. If you don’t want to because of the condition of your bike, perhaps you could pass the challenge to Gone in 60 who, I think, posted the next complying picture.

Good luck with the install.

How 'bout a picture of someone ridin' a CB1100 blindfolded? That seems more practical.

So Gin60, wutch you thinkin'?

An image of someone ridin' a CB1100 blindfolded?

 

[Gone in 60]

Hmmm…

Well, October brings us two fun things. Halloween, and Octoberfest.

My international cultural radar does not know how far Halloween extends around the world. So, how about your CB with a display of Halloween festivities or decorations, or you in a costume with your bike.

If your part of the world doesn’t celebrate Halloween, how about your CB with some sort of Octoberfest theme. Standard Disclaimer: If you choose the latter option, try to do it in a manner that does not promote drinking and riding.

Maybe the biggest, juiciest bratwurst along side the CB1100 will suffice for Oktoberfest? See who has the best?

Why not. It would comply with the standard disclaimer.
