VIDEO I made for Allstate - 8 common problems with older motorcylces
« on: June 25, 2016, 04:28:28 AM »
Hi everyone,

I made a video for Allstate that covers common problems in older motorcycles. I'm sure a bunch of you can relate to all these problems bringing CB's back to life.

A CB550 is in a portion of it, see if you can point out where :)
