CB1300 Kitted Out for Touring (pics)

[ceebie13]

I just thought I'd set the CB up in readiness for our sojourn around the N.Island next month. Mrs Ceebie is obviously commandeering the throwovers while I get a clean pair of pants and a toothbrush in the tank bag.
Got to say that despite the CB looking like something out of Star Trek I am well pleased with the Oxford stuff. And the silver colour just sets it all off nicely don't you think dahling! At least any of you KBers will recognise us on the road now. I daresay the handling will be interesting. Haven't tried that yet. Might need a bit of reverse thrust to stop mind.

Looks nice. Guess you wont be doing much lane splitting.

Ha!! Well spotted, Caj. It arrived this arvo so I'm waiting for Mrs.CB to get home, then we can go for a blat.
I sat on it in the garage (like you do!) and it felt solid to say the least. I'm hoping it will bed in.
I'm very pleased with the look and finish though. Thanks to you all at Riders. Brilliant job and fast too.

No sweat. Sorted mate!

Aha! That's what I said too and Mr Trimmit (Mac) said "solid doesn't mean uncomfortable". And he was dead right too. A sore butt will be a thing of the past.

OOoooOOOooo Those bags almost look big enough for me to carry my bowling balls in?!?!.... hmmmm

Chuck a fruit salad pole on the back and I think you will have most cagers think you are Popo! Next trick is to add a sidecar? Better yet, get Mrs Ceebie her own ride (oh wait, she'll still need the same panniers and yours for all the kit!) The gear looks nice though, will be interesting to see how it holds up on your tour up here .. and there ... and everywhere

[Sparky Bills]

Looking good mate!

Those colours really go well together aye.

[Hitcher]

Isn't it exciting planning a ride. Mrs H, the bikes and I will be in the South Island in two weeks' time. Canardly wait!

And when you say the Rider seat was "fast", what do you mean? Did you have to have some sort of "sitting" first?

[riffer]

Wow. Looking good there.

You do, um, realise that the bike may get dirty though, don't you?

[Trudes]

Ahhh, so those are your new bags! Hey and the seat looks very cool, not as cool as mine though bro, I've got the hottest seat 'round here. (And yes that is hottest as in cool, not Phat as in lard like.)

I cant remember what yours looks like Trudi. We have just road tested ours.
Just got in from having dinner at Lake Ferry. Lyn is well chaffed..er, sorry, chuffed. So am I in reality. Honda could learn a thing or too from Riders.
