I bought this in 1985 when I was still in the Army. The bike saw most of Kansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Florida, and some of Georgia, Indiana, and Oklahoma. I got a lot of smiles out of that bike. Compared to what I ride today it was a basic bike but I’d sure give anything to spend a day out on it again. If your a biker you understand, the smells, sounds, and scenery are awesome when your on a bike. Things you’d never notice in a car you’ll notice on the bike. Just looking at the picture brings back so many memories of places I’ve been and people I’ve meet and visited on it. So many days in the Army where all I had was $10 and went and spent the whole day until dark out riding through Kansas. Then the 11 day ride I took from Kansas to Kentucky and forgot to tell Mom what I was doing. Of course never called home and got caught in a few storms and tornado. lol

Awesome days…. I don’t think my new bike will ever bring carefree memories like that Kaw 454 did.
