Well, it is an import, but its not a car haha. Well guys still have my car and my truck, but since I have this now they are on the afterburner,and I want to get the bike on the road. Im still haveing soem carb issues, and I need to fix my front brake, and get it insured and a tag, but besides that shes pretty much driveable. Need a new rear tire, and I have a used front one to go on that will last a while. Im gonna be cleaning it up after ive been driving it and painting it sooner or later. :) Its a 79 Kawasaki 400 LTD. Not the fastest bike in the world, but hell it is pimp as ****. I rode it for the first time monday and felt like I was right out of easyrider...grinning from ear to ear. And the best part was the bike only cost $190. :)

When I first got her the 2 weeks ago, had to go get her from covington.

Clean it a little more and repaint a couple parts and it will look good!

Appreciate it. Yeah 190 isnt bad for a complete bike, that runs after some internal cleaning. :)
