Absolutely Beautiful Riding weather here yesterday and today. Daughter called yesterday morning & said she wanted to put a roof over her deck & would dad & I help....other daughter & son in law were trying to put up a garage door opener & couldn't figure out how.......I got to look at the bikes every time I had to go into the garage to get a tool to take to one or the other's house. Both projects are now done. Chance of rain tomorrow and Tuesday.....
Washed it, put tire dressing on the new bags, and went for a 15 mile run this afternoon. Shame it rained all morning, would have had a group ride for about a hundred miles..
Took the bar end mirrors off and tried to get the factory bar weights to fit in the Superbike bars with the bar end mirrors.
I finally found something sort of wrong on the new CB1100. With the Superbike bars/bar end mirrors mounted there is a barely perceptible high speed buzz in the bars that numbs the hands after 90 min or so of riding.
I put the stock mirrors and weights back and went out for two hours and no problem.
The bar end mirrors just won't fit with the stock bar weights installed. I think I may look for a different set of mirrors.
I ran outta gas and had to walk a mile, buy a gas can and gas, then walk back to the bike. No fuel gauge and I'd forgotten that I needed to go straight to the nearby ethanol-free gas station before I did anything else.
Then, I had no way of getting the gas can back, so I left it on the curb in front of some guy's yard, rushed home to get a bungee, then went back to get the can.
Then, I rode about half an hour to my brother's pad, and nobody was home, so I rode back through neighborhoods I'd never seen before and found some pretty neat little areas.
Road the Street Glide to and from work. What a nice ride. When I was younger I said that I would rather get a convertible before buying one of those old guy bikes. I guess I got old. I've been missing a lot of great rides.
Welp... had I bothered to check, I would have discovered that the slip-on Cobra mufflers I got for my Max do not use gaskets like the stock exhaust does, so since the clamp came in today, I was able to get the new (to me) exhaust mounted. Sounds decent enough. Looks AWESOME! Lost maybe 20hp.
Gonna have to get a new set of headers that will help bring that lost power back

I am looking for a great beginner cruiser. Guys have any suggestions. Used to have a Harley 1200 custom but had to sell it. Totally regret it want something around the 900 to 1200cc range.
Just wanted to share, get it off my chest.
I have been riding for about half a year now, and i realise now that i have been too sure of my skills as a rider and i need to chill and practice more.
Last saturday i had my first time i almost caused a accident i was going through a corner i know...
I wish I could compare them side by side but the busa was stolen in 2010 and I didn’t get another bike till August 2019. The Hayabusa has a 1299 cc engine vs the 999 but weighed more and the technology was from 1999. Is it safe to safe the CBR is faster overall but maybe the Hayabusa had better...
We did this on another bike forum and it was fun. The intent is to get out and ride to complete the challenge before someone else does. All you need to do is take a picture of your bike with the challenge item in the background.
The rules here are simple. Be sure to note them before creating...
It's absolutely perfect outside and has been trending that way. I think a lot of my fellow citizens realize that social distancing on a motorcycle is a pretty safe way to stay sane. Problem is, I sold my SuperSport this winter and the delivery of my Streetfighter, which was supposed to occur...
