ORIGINAL: deej
You were born in 1983?.......Crap!! I'm old enough to be your dad. Dang it!! I had an 81 CB 450 in fact that's the bike I took the test on, and I couldn't ride anything over a 500 for a long time. Then or some reason they got rid of the different classes of bikes here in Washington. I have a chance to do a half days electrical work for an old Honda, I'm going for it. I'll let you know what I find out.

something about older bikes and car jumping does not mix. i tried to jump my old honda one time and it blew a fuse in the bike. i would get a MC battery but thats just me.
