Anyone near Chapin, SC care to look at a motorcycle for me?

I am thinking about this....

Kawasaki Other | eBay

I had a 1977 1000 LTD I put 42,000 miles on. Sold it after my second child was born. Kids are gone and ...well......you know.....
always liked the 76 model 900 LTD.

Nice bike - I crashed a '74 900 Kaw by having shiny tire dressing like this one....Needs a new chain, the one on it is adjusted all the way back....Might have to check the jetting with different intake and exhaust.......

I'm close enough (30-40 mins.), but don't know anything about evaluating a motorcycle.

PorscheGAL is even closer... try shooting her a PM or email... don't know if she is m/c savvy, but it would be worth a try and she might know someone who could check it out if she couldn't.

I don't want to put anybody out. I am hoping someone lives within 10-15 minutes of there, and is familiar with bikes. Thanks.

Cool!

Early-Mid 1970's Jap bikes are really hip right now, but even so I think that starting price is just a little ambitious.

Burnouts....

Never saw the thrill in them.....


But if it gets someone off to waste their tires while inhaling tire dust, oh well........
