Are you older or younger than your Honda CB-Four

I am older than my CB Four... I was born just a few days before dirt.
I am younger than my CB Four... It's righty tighty lefty loosey, right?
I am older than most of my CB Fours... and dirt.
I am younger than most of my CB Fours... and I have early-onset hoarding disease.

So... the Mrs. is actually the mistress, and the K1 is the bride.  Polygamist!

Nope, I never question en1's choice of careers.......or college courses.....considering my son chose
"Public Relations"......wtf?

BEWARE... If your bike is a 74 or earlier!


It is quickly approaching its 40th birthday or is already "over the hill".   ;D  :o   ;D
Bawhahah. Great post. My hotrod shares my birthday being 1965 and your poll stirred a memory. I've a K5 though so it'll never catch up to me. Cheers.

It was always going to be high. My kid nearly dropped when he seen four carbs working in sync.
'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Draw and drawer. Could care less/couldn't care less. Bought/brought FFS.
