I'm not old school. I'm just old. LOL. My bike is a little bit old school though. My first one was really old school. It was a 1942 "45". The original hard tail with a springer front end. Kick start is old school. Magneto's are old school. Hand shift, foot clutch is old school. I kind of liked the old magneto bikes. If your battery was dead you could still start it and ride away. I rode my old 45 for almost a year with a dead battery. Try that with your Twin Cam. Oh! Almost forgot. Having your spark advance on the left grip is old school. My cable was broke so I just reached down and gave the mag a twist after startup. Just had to make sure and twist it back before starting her up.

It's all relative...my 77 is old school compared to my 08. But when I see the 77 next to a Pan or Knuckle I think Wow, now those are old school.
