Thanks to Stacia Longhorn for the bike donation and Brad Pace for the restore labor. He did an amazing job on this 1998 fully restored Honda CR80RB. The scripture Brad chose for the number plate is 2 Corinthians 5:17. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” What a great verse for an OLD bike that has become NEW again.
