That BadSeeds bike is almost exactly how I want my CB to turn out.

funny video. it would have been nice if they had been able to show some street riding technique that shows speed by finesse..
Legend has it that in the 80s there was some national caliber road (track) racer that would occasionally haunt backroads on a Harley SuperGlide and that many a 'sport bike' rider found out that it isn't always the bike that makes a fast rider. I would have loved to have seen instances of that !

Heh. Glad to see Freddie is still kickin' it. He was the champ when I was a teen, which was... um... a while ago.

Anyone know if there is a place to source some of those parts? Specifically I'm looking for that fender eliminator and the turn signals.
Been through his school twice. That guy can ride. Effin' unreal. He did these corner drills where we'd all walk out to the track and he'd come flying by about five feet away from us, knee and pegs skimming the pavement, on an 800 Interceptor. He is so smooth it is impossible to describe unless you see it for yourself up close. He'd lead each student around the track for a couple of laps. I remember thinking, dang, Freddie Spencer is giving me a riding lesson...lola_imp said:
Enjoy
Pretty cool guy, too. The first school to use onboard data acquisition, like throttle position, lean angle, track maps generated by inertial guidance systems (this was pre-GPS, guys and gals), brakes on/off, bike speed. Half the time half the stuff didn't work but when it did, it gave some good info.

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to install a set of Ohlins rear shocks on this bike.....
That is on my list of things to do this year. I am certain it will improve the handling dramatically.ZRXman01_imp said:I was wondering how long it would take for someone to install a set of Ohlins rear shocks on this bike.....
This video brings a smile to my face every time I watch it. That was the golden age.

It would take about 10 minutes. That's 1 minute to write a check for $1500.00 to buy a pair of the piggyback Ohlin's Freddie Spencer has on that CB11 and 9 minutes to bolt them on. I want a pair like that, yellow springs and all.ZRXman01_imp said:I was wondering how long it would take for someone to install a set of Ohlins rear shocks on this bike.....

Running like a top
I hope Penske steps up and begins offering shocks for the CB1100, they make great stuff and the price might be slightly lower than Ohlins.

Did you explain to the bank that you have a new motorcycle that needs expensive customization? Usually if they understand that there is a situation like medical emergency, natural disaster, accessory/upgrade list, they'll work with you.

WHY I always feel the urge to throw another $10K++ in fancy aftermarket goodies to a
$10K bike is beyond most but is apparently in my DNA.....
I must MOD!!!!
