"Distinguished Gentleman's Ride"
This looks different :-)
When I ride my CB to work I'm usually in my Dockers, casual shoes, button-up shirt, with leather or mesh Dainese jacket over top.
Our CB would fit the bill to the "T".

I'd like to see how that distinguished looking lady in the blue dress is going to get on that bike.The ferret

If you would put your head in a helmet it wouldn't be empty.

I see two brain buckets on that bike. I guess that lady would look very distinguished perched side saddle on the pillion. Fun concept and run here in Oz at times.

I think Hondahoarder and his wife went on one of these rides last year and posted a thread about it.

RE: "Distinguished Gentleman's Ride"
I just did the DGR in Philadelphia on my old CB500 and had a blast. I met a fellow there with a similar CB550 and his wife was kind enough to take a picture of us. Unfortunately I don't have an image resizer function on this Win 7 laptop Angry

There were some vintage bikes there but it was mostly modern retro Bonnies. Needless to say a CB1100 would be a big hit at this event The ferret

Actually you do, just open up paint and resize it.

I donated and was planning to ride but a nail in the tire slowed me down a bit =/ Didn't want to show up on the CBR!

Got some cool stickers and a patch out of the deal though.

Thank you both for the tips. Decided to go with the resizer link since is that is closer to what I had with XP.

Great shot. Distinguished indeed. (Said in my best British accent. Which isn't all that good.)
