Results? 2 banged-up legs, 1 removed alternator. If you've got a big wide inline-4, and your legs are behind the engine, you're probably safe, but I've got crash bars on my CB450. Dave's CB450 joke of the week: If the CB450 were an airplane, what would it be? Answer: An F-15 jet fighter. For every hour in the air, they spend ten hours in the hanger being repaired. Next week's CB450 joke: CB450's are good cold-weather bikes, because they have a built-in feature for warming the rider. Just try to start it with the kickstarter. The week after that's CB450 joke: What's the most important thing the carry in a CB450's toolbox? The title, so that you can sell the bike for a bus ticket home if (when) it breaks down. Next month's CB450 joke: What is the one spot on a CB450 that is always clean and free of oil? The automatic chain oiler. -- "Why my thoughts are my own, when they are in, but when they are out they are another's." -- Susanna Martin, executed for witchcraft.
