I guess it could be worse.
People around here walk around with "Roots" (brand name) on their fashion garment chest area. This has an alternative mixed response down under in Australia.

Your CB1100 battery woes solved?
Perhaps so...while it can be a slang term to mean "semen"--and not limited to the U.S. south--I took it to be a phonetic spelling of how the question word "what" typically sounds in informal, spoken English, where the final /t/ of "what" sounds more like a /d/. It's common...often written with 2 /d/ as inThe Gecko_imp said:
Whaddup?
Waddle it be? (where the 'h' might get dropped as another sign of informality)
I've heard "What it be" pronounced with a /d/ instead of /t/ countless times. I've never thought of the slang meaning of the word in question...I've simply answered the question. Maybe the fact it's written with one /d/ is what brings up comment on the usage.
Appologies for the tangent away from the main topic. I took a lot of linguistics courses way back when, and we frequently studied crazy little details like this.

Guess I will have to add the "h" next time, as in "Whad".
Ah well.
But importantly, are the CB1100 battery woes resolved?

I've always removed my battery for the winter and left it on a Tender inside. This winter, I decided to leave the battery in the bike in the garage on a Tender. We had a warm day recently, so I thought I'd take a ride....not enough from the battery to crank the engine. BTW, the Tender had a green indicator. It's an aftermarket Firepower Battery that was in the bike (2014 Standard) when I got it three winters ago. There is such a wide variety of prices for batteries. I went for a Mighty Max AGM for $45. It arrived DOA....Tender was properly attached, but the light just blinked red. I thought the battery voltage was just too low. Props for Mighty Max....I emailed them and described the problem, and they refunded me and didn't ask for the battery to be returned. So it's back to the drawing board. Thinking Motobatt...bought one for my last CB750. Seemed OK.

Two strange observations in a row ? The tender shouldn't have shown a green light with the old battery (when it did - as I understand), AND it shouldn't have shown a red blinking light with a new (always pre-charged) battery. That is one too much, makes me think the tender has a defect.
Put that generous "gift" battery from Mighty's on a volt meter, if need be charge it with a non-intelligent, old-style, non-AI charger for 12 V, with a charging current of max 500mA for 10-15 hours, and check again. Just my 2cts.

Was actually thinking about that...thanks for the suggestion.
I have had the same experience with mighty battery for other motorcycle and quads.Wagonpeddler_imp said:
One the battery was dead inside of a year with proper use. The second the positive terminal had a crack running through the epoxy that seals it to the battery.
Unless its a cheap atv or something I try to avoid them now.
