Different bikes, same likes

Same here. Many gas station and restaurant stops begin or end with "what year is that?" Always enjoy shooting the breeze with the folks that owned the originals.

used2b, I hear you on getting your money's worth!

John, great prose. Thanks for sharing. I think your characterization of the CB as "poised" is right on.

Nice report, John. "Poised" is a great descriptor.

Oh, and I just say "1975" then mount up quick-like before they take a second look.

LongRanger, EmptySea, thank you both! Always fun to have someone think a bike is older than I am.
