Last year I rode back from Morro, CA to Lumby, BC in one day @1,506 miles, imagine how much farther I could have rode, esp, as I had to stop every 120 miles to fuel up. Mind you, I cheated as I rode my 82 CBX that time :wink: ...ha! The main thing to me is, I must ride a CBX, as it calms my soul and is fairly familar for me to ride. And tyres are $53 & $62 each for Dunlops at Dennis Kirk. Finally, it takes a very peculular idiot to keep riding a CBX almost all year round...well, and an electric vest, gloves and sox..... :face:

Sadly, there are few CBX's at any CBX rally anymore . . . . trucked, trailered or ridden there. It seems even the guys who do still own CBX's don't show up with them at rallies much anymore - Maybe we need to rename the club?

You do get an interesting assortment of excuses as to why their owners show up, but their bikes don't though :wink:

I decidecd to put my 2 cents worth in here. I find myself riding other bikes more often. I love my CBX's but it's getting harder and harder to keep them running between maintenance, parts availability, and a worn out body. I plan on riding them sporadically until my 50th wedding anniversary and then I'll probably retire myself to one of these. http://www.spinlife.com/Invacare-Top-En ... heelchairs High performance and light weight. My 50th wedding anniversary will be here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black%27s_Beach in 2056 and everyone's invited. Be ready for a long climb down to the beach though. If you make it to my wedding anniversary, just look for the old, clay animation figure, all dried up.
