I think she misses it a little as it was her favorite ride for many years; the CB has really won her over with it's low seat and easy riding character. The CB's handling on our dirt road was also a revelation to her; she expected it to be a handful but found the low COG and abundant low end torque makes the ride out from home easier than on the Wee.
1 Cor 13:4-7 (NIV)
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

Cormanus and Ptero are still out cruising around the countryside somewhere in NSW. Those boys know how to enjoy a CB1100 for what it is, I was grateful they let me tag along for the ride.
It’s Aussieflyer’s bike and it’s a stunning piece of work. I now know where his forum handle comes from. I’ve never been so stretched on a motorcycle as chasing him and Pterodactyl around the countryside.
AF, come again any time. It was good fun.
On another matter altogether, redbirds, yours and Sparky’s bikes look great. I don’t know why, but I’m pleased she decided on a CB1100.

or second by a normal dayloop....the small version: place for some drink, food and of course the pic-machine...

Alprider, when i scrolled down to the picture of your bike i just smiled, you did a great job on the gold stripes on the tank, it is such a simple bit of paint but the effect is just heartwarming and what Honda could have easily done.
Just needed to tell you this, all the best.
