I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(

First thing I thought when I saw the CB1100 was that it needed spoke wheels. Looks like they finally wised up. To me it just looked way too 80's with the cast wheels.

Good plan.  BTW - I don't see the CTX pic above.

I think it looks fine, it's the dork in full race leathers that's ruining the vibe of the bike!  ;D

I've done a lot of things in my life that I'm not proud of...and the things I AM proud of, "are disgusting"
