Boss Hogg-

Kewl.

Be careful, those occasional rides can turn into a passion. Sounds like an old classic that you will be receiving, those 70's bikes are very hot right now. Love to see some pics when you get it. Those Kawi's were very quick, but not the best in the turns...

I'll bet you have fun tinkering it back into shape.

Trailering a bike should be very easy, get yourself a good set of tie down straps, one on either side of the handlebars and cinch it down. Once you collapse the front end a bit, you have it locked in place. Leave it in gear while hauling and it won't want to rock forward or back. That should make it quite secure.

To prep yourself, and for fun, why not go take a MSF (motorcycle safety foundation) beginning riders course...you'll be amazed how much you learn that is not intuitive. The courses are very inexpensive and I'm sure they are offered close by your home...stop in at a bike shop and just ask.

Pics....yes, that is all wheat stubble on the rolling hills, I love riding though that rolling landscape....great country.

Enjoy the new bike....take the course, and take it easy.
