Let's see your CB1100 out on the road!

[Wisedrum]

Today I visited an old classmate of mine and together with his wife we rode to Sehestedt with 3 bikes, a small village with a ferry transfer at the Kiel canel. It was a lovely and clear sunny sunday. This guy we met rides an old british army bike, an Armstrong with a Rotax 500 single. As he said, the most reliable bike he ever has ridden. He also mentioned the 2nd piston at 80.000km and a better KTM camshaft, that fits, now in use...

If I understand your question right, I've already answered it in my description above. It's an old britisch military bike the owner bought when the army sold it. It is something special and I think it wasn't build for the common man.

By the way there is no snow in my area at this time. And moderate temperatures today during the daytime too. Up to 10°. Good for biking.

Hey you are a long way from home aren't ya EOW?

 

[Cormanus]

Good to see you getting out EOW.

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

There is definitely something to be said for owners who keep their oldies running reliably on the road. Those lucky bikes are some sort of soul mate with the owner.

Finally stopped raining! I thought I’d ride down to Lake Cumberland and get an artsy shot by the lake, but it’s rained so much that the lake is at record flood stage and all of the roads leading to docks are flooded. This was as close as I could get. But, great day to ride and it’s NOT RAINING (until Thursday

Bah! You on [beautiful] m/c. Unless pick-up truck driver (anywhere in sight?) had rifle, could have snuck around the road bend.

That fairing is indeed tidy*.

'17 grew on me in '17. But, I really should beat down my '14 first. That could be a trick. Would have to betray it. :dodgy:

I could have but it’s a really steep incline past there and then there’s the water. Too cold to go swimming just yet.

Took a good, dam ride today. Stopped and took a dam picture. Didn’t see the dam guide or I would have taken a dam tour. But it was an overall great dam ride. Sorry, couldn’t resist.
