It had been dropped several times before I realized that at my age (I was 50 when I got it) it was not safe for me to get up, snatch the bike upright, and keep going. I learned to take off my gear, maybe smoke a pipe, collect my thoughts, and let the adrenaline wear off before I wrenched my back. So I had time to do a photo shoot. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found my bikes napping a few times and got the "must lift it now!!!!" feeling for no good reason, especially the one that fell sometime during the night. The only real concern would be if it were laying at an angle where oil could start seeping past the rings, then hydrolock on startup. I don't know what the angle would have to be, guessing the top of the bike would have to be on the low side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superhawk996 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I just saw that it's a turbo bike. I briefly had that thought but since there are so few of them I figured it was unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampNut Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Crackhead. Road rashed 99 "priced to move" at $6800. WTF. And no pics. https://www.cycletrader.com/listing/1999-Honda-CBR+1100XX-5020795486?cmp=email_cycle_search-alert The Honda CBR 1100XX Blackbird. Advertised by Honda as the fastest production bike available in 1998 and named after the American spy plane, Blackbird. Super low miles at 8773. That is correct 8,773 miles. All services are up to date. Ride is smooth and very fast very quick. Has some road rash thus priced to sell at $6799. Warning! This bike is very powerful and demands an experienced rider.
