Howdy folks, long-time lurker, firtst time poster....Summer before last, I was helping a buddy clean out the barns on an old farm he bought...The 2nd day, I noticed this old girl behind the house. The reason I didn't spot her the 1st day was that she was tucked up tight behind the kitchen, covered in weeds and had small trees growing up through the wheels....good camoflague, I guess! He doesn't ride, said I could have her! Tracked down the previous owner, got a clear title and historical plates.1978 Kawawsaki 650 with only 20,000 miles on the clock! I have an electrical issue to track down, but I got to ride her to the Great Darke County Fair last Summer, had a blast! almost 500 lbs dry! (No fun to push, DON'T ask how I know!) Originally was "Luminous dark Red", now faded to Orange...too many "Seasons in the sun" I guess!The most recent sticker on the plate was (at that point) 9 yrs old. the things SOME people will do to their bikes! Oh, well....she's MY baby now!

1978 KZ650 B2
Former rides...1976 CB360T, 1985 Shadow 700, 1985 GPZ750Turbo
