#1553 in Seattle
Well, my CB1100 is in Seattle, I live in Lima, Peru. Like a lot of you I've been following the CB1100 online for a couple of years, they are not imported here and I had not seen one until I flew up to Austin for the MOTOGP. I made it to the track and headed straight to the Honda display tent and there is was, I was amazed by the fit and finish, as good or better than any moto that I've ever seen, I then sat on the CB and it was over for me, I made the decision to buy one. I got back here to Lima and emailed Tom at Lake City Honda in Seattle, he told me he would get me one, it arrived at the dealer and was set up yesterday, my amigos are going to pick it up and store it for me. I've owned a lot of motorcycles in my half century of riding, two of them that stand out are a red CB750 in '70 and a red CBX in '79, the red '13 CB1100 is a dream come true, can't wait to ride it. My plans are to fly up to Seattle on the 4th of July, I'll be there for a few days, then I'm going to head down to Monument, Oregon, one of my favorite places on the planet, great roads and no traffic. I'll probably ride over to the BMWMOA National in Salem, then down to Grants Pass then over to California and Redwoods, then head north and ride the beautiful Oregon coast. I'll post photos, a lot of them, this looks like a great forum and it is good to be here.

RE: #1553 in Seattle
Same thing Gringo, my little pearl has been languishing in the shed for 2 months while I have been plugging away at work. Came home and took her out for a somewhat leisurely run down some twisty forest roads yesterday. Super smiley face! I am just north of Seattle on vancouver island ,typically cool and misty
