New here, new bike, new jungle

« on: August 24, 2011, 06:22:23 PM »

Just got my first street bike. Blue 1989 CB-1 with 54xxx miles. Its still in amazing shape. I guess it sat in storage for a good seven years before the previous owner got it and immediately sold it to me. Said he buys older bikes, gets them running and sells them again. I'll try and post some pics if it ever stops raining.

As promised. Proof it really happened. So far only things wrong with it are the aging tires and a lubeless clutch cable. break pads will need to be done eventually, but still lots of life left in them.

Did some poking around in it and looks like the guy wasn't lying when he said it was jetted.

Nice looking ride, looks like it is in pretty good shape. What makes you believe it's jetted?
