Yeah, I would love to ride my old Eleven Special if I had a chance...

I wonder what I would think of it?? Probably scary in the corners :D

Wheatie, when you ride a 40 year old bike, you have to simply remember...

You are riding a 40 year old bike.

Having said that, the CBX is very capable, more so than most would believe from an FJR perspective.

..and the hit from 5k to 9.5k is STUNNING! :shock:

For now, I quit on the aftermarket 'kit' and am running OEM which works just fine.. just doesn't have adequate juice for heated jacket, gps, etc...

Not sure if I'm gonna throw in the towel or just let it go and try again later, not force the old brain over think thing... :zombwobb:
