xj650 project

I needed to document this somewhere so I will do it here.  I recently got my first motorcycle!  It is a lot of fun and pretty quick to get up and go.  I havent taken it to its top speed because riding is a new thing to me but I am impressed with myself and how fast I have gotten comfortable with riding it after only a week.  I picked it up off ksl for 800 dollars and I am really excited to get going on  this project.  I need projects in my life to keep me interested and mentally active.  Honestly I am thinking about my different projects at the most inappropriate times.  Anyway,  It is in rough condition at the moment but I picked this one over the many others because I saw potential.  It is a 650 cc engine bike so it has enough power to move my meat around town and get down the freeway just fine.  Its carburetors need to be cleaned out but we are going to do that this weekend.  I say we because I made a new friend last week, Levi.  I got his number from a mutual friend and called him to see what he would charge to help me with my brand new tires.  I got over to his house and we talked about motorcycles and then he mentioned he needed computer work so i told him that i do computer work and a trade was made.  I wiped the awful windows 8 off his laptop and put on windows 7, and he is gonna help me with my bike.  He flips bikes so he has the experience with them that i do not.  Seriously he has a ton of bikes at his place.  So overall im pretty excited and cant wait to get going on this bike.  making a great little machine.
