Krap Kawasaki

Shortly after arriving in Japan, I bought a motorcycle for $25 U.S. Dollars from a Navy buddy. I kept it a few months until I had to start getting off of the bike in order to get it to go up hills. The day the school bus of children went by and looked out the window at me like I was crazy was the limit. I got rid of the bike the next day--I sold it for $25 to somebody who said they knew how to fix the bike. The next time I saw them, they were pushing the bike up a hill, not at all happy. It was a "Krap Cycle" for sure.
