My first wild cb1100 spotting!

[mikeymike88_imp]

Cruising up the 101 in my car heading to my girlfriends house in Ventura, I was behind a motorcycle. As I got in the right lane toward my exit, I noticed the beautiful red tank and knew right away that I was finally, for the first time, in the presence of another, real-life cb1100

. I was more excited than I care to admit so I (safely) pulled out my phone and took a few snaps! Hope this is a member and they see this. The rider never looked my way and I didn't want to get to lose for safety reasons, so I wasnt able to give them a thumbsup. But the bike looked great!

You got a beautiful shot. Red side panel and exhaust should help identify.

Really great capture Mike.

Great photo!

Looks like he's loaded up for a trip.
That exhaust looks loud - really loud.
I cringe at the lack of gloves, but respect his freedom to choose.
Nice picture, thanks for sharing.

Cool! I've only seen one around me, twice. If anyone on the forum has a black '14 and visits the memory care center next to the hospital on Chapman in Orange, let me know!

I'll bet that bike was LOUD. And I thought I was the only one around these parts with a '13 with red side covers!

He seems to have the same exhaust I have (except mine is black). It has a small baffle insert that quiets it down a lot. My bike is not super loud at all.

I am happy that I got to see a red one in person, pictures really don't do that red any justice. It was gorgeous. And I generally don't like red bikes or cars.

Yeah, the '13 red really pops in the sunlight. I am no doubt biased, but it's my favorite color for this bike.

My '13 has red side covers, but the PO said he'd had them painted.

Ok, this is weird. I just realized I have a doppleganger.
And I don't know what his deal is.

Back a few months ago, while perusing the Salvation Army store for some vintage duds to wear on the DGR, I came out to see this Enfield 650 with sidecar in the parking lot. I was in a hurry, so no time to stick around to see who owned it, but it is decked out in a very interesting manner as you can see.

I've started to see this bike riding around the neighborhood around my office when I go for a walk at lunch. The rider is wearing a hi-viz vest. I've never been able to catch him at an opportunity to talk with him.

Just a few minutes ago, walking back to the office, I heard the very familiar note of a CB1100. Turned around, and this guy, same vest, was on a '14 black CB1100. It didn't have a sidecar, but was in about the same shape otherwise, and had a bunch of things bungeed to the back of the bike. Couldn't pull my phone out in time to snap a pic.

So, this guy is in my neighborhood, and has two of the same bikes I have. And, whatever he does with them, they look like they are being used - a lot.

I look forward to hearing how this develops, Gone.

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

Gone, like, ... wow.


(and the stalking begins )

 

[the Ferret]

What are the chances?

 

[Gone in 60]

Just saw another CB1100 on my lunch walk. That's two bikes in two weeks.
This one was a '13, looked to be set up for extreme comfort. Had a very large windshield, and a large, wraparound rider back rest. Couldn't grab a pick before it disappeared around a corner in a parking lot.

A nice, low mileage, reasonably priced black 2014 just popped up on Phoenix Craigslist today. They are out there.

So’s the truth …

I've seen maybe 3 over the years and recently found that my neighbor has 2! A 2014 Standar and a 2014 DLX.
