This is the first time I noticed your calipers have been painted red. Did you do that or was it that way when you bought the bike?

It's subtle, but flashy at the same time. I kind of like it.

Had to go see a mountain about a lake. This is not too far from Park City, Utah. This man-made reservoir is one of many speckled throughout the desert mountains that catch spring snowmelt which then is processed into water for irrigation as well as residential culinary.

Beautiful photos, Whoops! Utah is such a pretty state...must ride there more.

131 consecutive months of riding my CB1100. Short ride because my 63 year old fingers, frost bitten on a fateful fall ride a few years ago, get pretty painful on freezing cold days like today. I’ll need to my hands, and probably my feet, wired up as the grip heaters do not really warm my finger tips.

23° today, but sunny and beautiful. The short ride left me time for a cigar and bourbon outside before the early sunset.

.....131 consecutive months of riding my CB1100..Wow this is good achaivement....
...but how do you fit your big cigar while riding in a full-face helmet?
You need 22 more miles to have five magic 6s

I’ve actually considered ways to have a cigar while riding, but there are a couple of issues. First, I smoke good (read that as “more expensive”) sticks and they would be wasted in the fast-burning environment of a moving motorcycle. Second, I have enough to do just to keep myself upright; I don’t need another variable in the mix.

Not only am I closing in on 66,666, but when I get to 67,727, I’ll have 100,000 total CB1100 miles (2 bikes). Always looking for milestones.

Hey, this is copycat :beerchug:

 

[Cormanus]

Congratulations on more milestones EmptySea. When I was young I was known to smoke the odd cigarette as I rode. Not recommended.

Pardon my delay in answering your question. I thought I had but it appears that I did not actually post my reply. My bad. The calibers were stock when i purchased the motorcycle. I painted them, using Honda Candy Red. I like the look, too. I believe it creates a nice balance or tension or whatever with the beautiful tank.

Congratulations and nicely done. Please stay upright. I am sure you have at least another 100,000 miles left to ride. David

New moto-themed coffee shop opened up yesterday about 2 miles from my house. I rode over this morning and was mildly perturbed to learn that some squid on a 250 Ninja had been the first customer to ride in. I was the second. Doh.

Looks like this will be a good meet up point for small group rides this summer. Super-nice owner and good coffee (they have tea too.

Looks cool. Was it an old gas station?

 

[emptysea]

Yes. The bay doors will open in summer months. He has some Mc apparel and a few parts like custom bars and such. Just opened yesterday and it’s going to take time for him to find what works, but the place as a lot of potential fir enthusiasts.

 

[the Ferret]

Lets hope he can make a go of it

 

[pdedse]

It's a neat idea, converting gas station into coffee shop. I rode by yesterday on my way to work looking for a simple, wood structure lunch spot I used to visit 6 years ago on the same trip I'm on now. It was closed, ferns and other plants growing up and over the openings in the wood slats, and it seemed to be leaning to one side. An opportunity for someone.

I like this little & skinny red bike and its sidecar!

 

[Cormanus]

Looks like a “positie” — a Honda CT110, used by Australia Post for years for mail deliveries. Someone’s added a sidecar to it. Neat.

A photo at the westernmost point of continental Europe, overlooking the vast Atlantic Ocean. During my lunch break while working from home, I enjoy taking short motorcycle rides to relieve stress.
