It is always nice to find someone rocking a CB like yours though no matter what it looks like.

Maybe they're just getting started fellas - or maybe it didn't come with side covers and an airbox and fenders.  And maybe the seat needed to be taped.  And maybe they just recently bought it - and cheap - and it runs like a dream but looks like hell.  And maybe, just maybe, I'm lying to myself again.  I honestly can't tell anymore.

My neighbor's kid had a bike that looked like that, he rode it around fearlessly and with great enjoyment.  It's not for me . . . I hate it . . . but, not my bike.

Wasn't even covered for the overnight, or locked up.  I agree, looks more like a beater.
