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 :)

Very nice work.

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?
