Hi Gents:

I went to the track this weekend to run my se7en. I borrowed a buddy's Honda Metro and took and gave rides around the pits. We're thinking of buying it. It was fun!

Whilst in Oklahoma, I took the CB360 cafe I built out for a ride. I first went and rode it around the hightway, and well, opened her up a bit. I actually like the ride height and position on my CL350. However, the 360's engine is much more powerful. Something must be wrong with my 350.

Anyway, I talked my wife into going for a spin. She was highly anxious, to say the least. The first few turns were scary because the bike would not respond. Then, I figured out she was leaning against the bike. Once this was sorted, the bike did fine. It was fun! I'm actually considering selling my CL350 and building a cafe with a 2-up bratstyle seat!

Nope, a cafe through and through, but with a bratstyle seat. Like DrJ's bike, but with a non stock seat.

It's more of a love hate relationship.I ended up changing out six rear ends due to poor design.We finally came up with a solution and the color choice the owner picked did nothing for me but to each his own I guess.From the youtube video of yours that thing looks pretty bad ass.
