New From Iowa
 

Hey there I'm Andrew.... I'm pretty new to riding and this is my second bike but my first running one. Ive rode other peoples bikes for a long time and finally had the opportunity to own my own. Its a 1982 750 LTD... This is the picture of it the guy I bought it from send me. I met him over Craigslist.

I drove up to meet him and the deal was that I would trade him a shotgun I had (Savage 512 Goldwing) and my gunsafe for the bike. It started right up cold in front of me. It was 30 degrees out that day as well. So I shook his hand and we loaded it onto the truck

Finally got it home around 7 at night and snapped these outside

The next day I went to my local shop Brennys Motorcycle Clinic (free spot might mean free stuff yeah right) And got a great deal on some bags and tassels. 30 bucks actually they have a plethora of used items theyve stripped from trade in bikes and now sell cheap as hell. If your in the east Iowa area i suggest checking them out but anyways here is the final pic of the finished product so far
