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.

I am 15 years older than my 750K8. Although I feel 30 years older, at times.

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?

But.....Hey.................................

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.
