Gumby, I'm really sorry for your loss. Please know you'll always be part of this CB1100 community that we call "friends." There's nothing better than that.

Thanks...I'll still be "lurking" around here as there may be some CB1100 issues that I can comment on with some semblance of authority.

Besides, I doubt that I'll ever find an H-D Road King forum that has been as...oh, wait, wrong format!

Nothing better than the camaraderie and wealth of practical experience to be found on the CB1100 Forum.

ROFL Nicely done Gumby

My condolences on your father and yes putting things you really want to do off can mean they never get done. Better to do it now.

Gumby, I'm sorry for the loss of your father. I know a little bit of how you feel, and maybe a little bit of how it was for your dad, as I survived throat cancer last summer. Hope you be able to spend some peaceful moments as you ride the Road King.

It's all practice.....

Thanks to all for your best wishes and support. It means a lot to me at this time.

Preparing for dad's memorial gathering this weekend and his eulogy has been difficult, as anyone who has lost a close family member can appreciate. But, it can also be rewarding in a sense, because it allows us to revisit and celebrate the life and accomplishments of any dear ones we may lose.

Gumby sorry for your loss.

For me there was nothing better than fulfilling a dream with two good friends (Ferret and LongRanger) riding the mountains in CO.

İmage

İmage

I also decided today to not postpone my dream any longer and signed the papers on my new 2018 K1600GT.

İmage

I do plan to keep my 2014 CB100 standard and enjoy both as they were meant to be.

İmage

I know all members share the love of riding and many have more than one motorcycle.

I've learned so much in the past 4 years at this forum, I'm truly indebted to all.

I don't think anything says it better than Ferret's signature:

"It doesn't matter what I ride, where I ride, or how far I ride... it only matters THAT I ride...every day...Ferret"

That's a good one Offroad. And I agree.

Congrats on finally getting your Beemer. I know it's something you've dreamed of for a while. Now you can RIDE across Kansas lol
