Day One, nice machine

[Chapomis_imp]

Picked up my 14 DLX this morning and what a perfect day to do it. The bike is sweet ! Jury is still out on the seat, but other wise the bike is everything I wanted. I might look into lowering the pegs and raising the bar, but not right away. I took Rout 3A from Weymouth (just south of Boston) and followed the coast to Plymouth then got on the highway to Hyannis to catch the ferrie. A lot of nice windy roads through Cohasset, Scituate, Marshfield and Duxbury, with very light traffic.

Pit stop at the North River. It was low tide so couldn't realy see the river well. The North River is famous for Clipper Ship building. Made a friend while I was there.

Lunch

What a nice maiden voyage. A pilgrimage, as it were, to Plymouth Rock. Very nice, but I would have stopped for some chowdah for lunch.

 

[Rocky_imp]

Lovely pictures and a lovely bike too
I love coastal pictures. Reminds me of where I live.

 

[Ack-CB11_imp]

Have a burger for me, I miss those "dollar menu's"
No fast food on Nantucket, not even a Dunkin Donuts.
Bike's sweet,
I'll be lookin' for you back on ACK.

I thought all bike dealers are closed on Monday?

 

[lash_imp]

Gaitors on a new DLX? Is that stock?

No, I bought them on-line, shipped them to the dealer and they put them on when they un-crated it.

The best chowda I've ever tasted comes from my kitchen, but as hard as I try, I can't make my burgers taste like McDonald's.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice! Another beautiful spot in the world to ride a beautiful motorcycle in. Congrats Chapomis!

 

[lash_imp]

Nice simple retro look, me likee!!

 

[redbirds_imp]

Beautiful bike in a lovely background. The DLX is a truly fine looking ride. I'm getting to the point that I can't decide which version of the CB I like best. Each one has a special appeal.

I think I know where our next rally will be.

Congrats and thanks for sharing those great pics!
They really got me feeling homesick - I'm a Worcester boy myself (with relatives on the Cape), and haven't been back there in years.

Nice bike, pics and report! Welcome, Chapomis, to our addiction.

Riding today I saw in a lot of parking lots what looked to be 12" high piles of dirt....it was black snow, you don't miss that ! Worcester got hammered.

The ones with RLETs.....:beerchug:

Congrats, great pictures and you know red is the fastest color. Ride safe.

Congrats, the journey has begun

Congrat on your new bike!

That is the nicest McD's I 've ever seen.

For your handlebars. Before buying risers, you might try loosening the clamp bolts and rotating them up some. I know me and a number of us did that.

 

[Redbird_imp]

Very nice indeed! Looks like a great day for riding it too!

 

[rboe]

Probably the best first ride home I've seen. :worship:

 

[Guth_imp]

Great first day with the CB. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the reminder. I followed that thread a few weeks ago and had already forgotten about it. I think it was one of Ferret's "how to's". I'm going to try to get my carrier and engine guards on today, so I will give the bars a go at the same time.
