Let's see your CB1100 out on the road!

Had a nice 150 mile or so lunch ride today through the local mountains along Hwy 4. Not much visitor traffic either which made for a nice late morning, early afternoon outing. Always enjoy cruising through there but due to the recent rains you do have to watch it in some of the turns due to run-off gravel/dirt.

Nice pictures, Grinton. It's great looking at photos of other countries.

Have you told us what the seat is? Is it more comfortable than the stock seat?

Thanks Cormanus.
Regarding the saddle I had talked about here
Brown Seat?

And I had forgotten. It's a very good looking seat.
 
Here's a handful of shots from todays ride. I wanted to get out and back before the next batch of rain. 'Out' was OK, 'back' however, included heavy rain and O'hail. Just a reminder... hail hurts. :blush: These were only about cherry pit size, which is better than what we had been getting lately. I did see on the opposite side of the divided road where a pick-up truck had pulled over and taken in a biker for protection and safety in general. No such Samaritan on my side so I soldiered on.

Just under 100 mile round trip and we arrived safe. Soaked and unharmed with the exception of some slight temporary numbness about the face, forehead and the back of my left hand being used as a hail face shield/deflector. The bond between the little black & I has grown. She handled well, just a bit slopped up now with road muck from the ride back up the hill to home elevation, cruising through the mud/water running downward. :-/




 
Nice photos, Gary. Road muck comes off. Although sometimes I wonder why one bothers. Seems to me, no sooner do you clean the thing than it's dirty again.
 
Thanks and I agree Cormanus, but due to our seasonal road chemical treatments, the stuff mixed with the muck likes to eat at the more vulnerable metals when left unattended for extended periods.
 
Great pics, Gary! Hail is not fun on a motorcycle. Last time I hit some I got as low as I could on the tank and spent the next few minutes yelling, "Ow, ow, ow!" into my helmet. :D
