I've seen a lot of things attached to bikes but a cup holder on a motorcycle is something new to me, and slightly wierd, but maybe I need to get out more. How about an ashtray, now that would 'take the cake'!!

Yes, if your version of cake is ashes blowing in your face.Aussieflyer_imp said:

... like I thought, I must get out more. Electric starters and flashing turn signals are the upper limit of my 'must have' luxury list.
No offence meant Ole, I was just having some fun and saw an opening to use my "about as useless as an ashtray on a motorcyle" line, my apologies if it came across poorly.
Think I'll go and clean my goggles and wipe down the leather skull cap ready for my next ride.

Rode it again. I suppose I'll have to clean it soon. 
It's perverse, isn't it? You'd think white cars/bikes/houses would be harder to keep clean, but they're not. Dark colours, while they look fantastic, are much harder work.MrTim_imp said:

Many years ago, I made the comment that when I get too old to kickstart my own motorcycle, I will get someone else to start it, then I will ride it head on into a bridge abutmentAussieflyer_imp said:
Now they no longer even have kick starters thank goodness lol

Did my first oil change today and I have to say this is one of the easiest bikes to work on. A few minutes on the lift and done. Took exactly 4 qts of Honda Pro Synthetic 10W/30. Everything on this bike seems well thought out.

Cleaned front header pipes, then had a good look to see if some of Samuriders leg sheilds would bd a good buy..

First service completed
Replaced the left crankcase cover today. Scratched it the other day when I dropped it. No major damage just my pride and a few gouges on the cover. Changed the oil and filter while I was at it. You lose about a cup of oil when you pull it off. I will tell you that stator has a heck of a pull. Didn't need to take the starter off as per the service manual. Would of made it easier. Couldn't find any 3 bond 1207b, so I used Permatex Ulta Grey. Everything appears to be working just fine. Used honda gen4 10w-30 and honda oil filter. You guys were right, the filter was on tight. Took it off with channel locks.

I rode it today.
It's been so damn cold and we have had the most amount of snow since the winter of '25-'26 that I have not been out on it since November. It was 38 degrees and the sun & wind had dried the main roads enough to ride safely. Just rode around the city for a while. Felt good. Saw one other rider on a sportster.

Hey Ferret,
The bike with the TSR air funnel, K&N and PCV reminds me of my ZRX. I was hoping the Arrow exhaust would have been delivered by now, but with this nice weather I decided to ride it with the stock exhaust.
It seems to start easier and idle smoother. It makes a very nice intake sound on both acceleration and deceleration. If you revit at idle, it seems to spin up much faster, like it has a lightened flywheel.
The bike pulls hard all the way to redline. I have never redlined this bike until today. It runs the way it should. I can't wait for the exhaust tom be delivered.
Up until this morning I was considering adding another bike. I have a friend who wants to sell a 2010 Duc Monster 1100 and I was also looking at a Suzuki B-King. I have previously owned a ZRX and a ZX12 and felt I was missing out with the CB11. After my ride today, I no longer feel like the CB is not powerful enough.

60 degrees finally!!
So called up my brother from another mother Big John. He broke out the wing and we did about 75 miles, enjoyed the wind and had a nice fish dinner down by the river. Boy was that needed!
