You traded a '77 KZ650 for dirt bike??? I don't believe I would have admitted that. Ed

I know ed, im retarded. ive come to that realization. I traded it for a 2002 ttr for my wife. it was an ok deal seeing as I only paid 400 bucks for the kz. but ive missed her terribly. now I have found the 1100. Im pretty excited about it. but I dont know anything about the shaft drive. it makes me a little nervous. oh, roy, Im good for 700K if I eat the big one!
