Let's see your CB1100 out on the road!

[GoldOxide_imp]

As you may, or may not know, today is one of the biggest Islamic holidays, thus I embarked on my "Traditional Eid Al Adha Solo Ride". Early morning, weather was still chill and cloudy, so I went for a back road route, an area we call Bedouin Oasis via Digdagga to Flamingo Beach. It was all within my state, though normally I would ride at least through 5 states.

Did that mean you had to wear a jacket for the purpose of combating the chill?

Happy Holiday!

Nice snaps - again Tod.

Happy Holiday!

Lol, jacket is unlikely - I wear just an armor this time of year, but long sleeves and neck protection are necessary when the sand picks up. Riding through a sand storm with exposed skin is one of the most unpleasant experiences one can encounter

Now that I see your bike in the wild from different angles, I'm liking the blue even more.

Yeah, I imagine it gets old (annoying) after awhile.

I suppose an alternative is riding in a hot summer hail storm. Neither are pleasant.

Had family in town and introduced my cousin to the realm of aircooled Honda 4s (she's used to Gixxer 750s) and she loved it. Certainly was a challenge keeping up with her on the Valkyrie..

Qool helmet Rox.

 

[tod.branko_imp]

Team Honda - it's all that matters.

I've always had a soft spot for Valkyries, feels kinda sad they decided not to include it in the latest GW lineup.

Yeah, very nice alprider.

Beautiful yellow Alprider!

Last night on the way back from ghost village I took the longer way home and came across this gazebo type construction, I seriously don't know what it's called, and it was dark and by the water, and Waldorf Astoria was just sitting there across the lagoon all lit up, and I had my camera with me, so I let the CB do some posing. I'm not famous for amazing night photography, but I think these came out pretty well.

The snaps Tod kinda reminds me of early '80s Honda marketing ads for the CB750S.

 

[the Ferret]

Nice!

 

[peterbaron]

Both, yellow @Alprider's and blue @Tod's are nice.
IMHO, yellow CB should have black side covers instead of silver ones?...to look even nicer
:beerchug:

Cool.

Wanted to do a ride on the Washington side of the Columbia River, usually that means some time on hiway 14, which is more laid back than I-84 on the OR side.

From Gresham, I have to ride 10 miles west to get to the 205 bridge and then I cross over to WA and start back east on 14. I like to stop at the Lewis and Clark expedition sites where they explain a bit of the history.

I live in the distance, exreme far right.

I got away by 10:30am after doing some morning chores, wanted to ride in the cooler part of the day, but the temps are supposed to exceed 100 degrees later. Looking kind of hazy...

Oh...yuck!! Forest fire smoke!! Not again.

Yep...getting thicker...

Just went through this area 2 days ago on the OR side and it was beautiful.

Well, that puts a damper on things. Getting really warm and with the smoke getting worse, I decide enough. A few quick pics of Beacon Rock which stand some 850 feet high...and then it was buzz back over to OR on the Bridge of the Gods and speed home.

Time to cool off.

Doing what caffed bikes do. Racing to the coffee shop.

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

Hey Rox - Was that snap taken from within the helmet with visor down?

From inside (huh?), ... a cage?
