The CB1300S is a very cool bike. Have been lusting over it several times.

Nice to be able to get a bike you've lusted after Reg - and the CB does look very nice (although I prefer the unfaired one). Hope you enjoy it
I spent an hour on one a couple of years ago but wasn't overly impressed, but one man's meat etc etc.

Big piece of bike, Reg
Apparently gear-changes are optional
Is that the half-faired one?
Enjoy!

Yes its the Red & white with half fairing. Started growing my "sideburns" to look like Rocket Ron back when he raced the 1100R. One of the advantages of being old is that you can follow your heart instead of your head. Thanks for the kind remarks,no doubt the other sort will follow. Might bring it to Wales,depends on Gwen.A) whether she enjoys the back seat,B) Whether she can manage with less luggage.

like this:
You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.
