Second was a 95 Puma bought for 500 at a repo auction in 97
3rd was a 95 zr700 I rode it from the trailer to the grage and then the garage to a new guys trailer lol decided I wanted a powder sled.

No, I dont think I got the Jag you restored. Mine is definently not restored! It is not in that bad of condition, If I redid the hood and belly pan it would look like new. My dad bought the jag from a dealer in Warren, MN. It was sitting outside, so the motor had ice in the crankcase, and it was locked up. It was missing a few minor parts. That jag (first jag)sat in the shop for about 1 month and then one day when I was in school my dad sold my El Tigre(I still drove it at the time) and bought a jag that ran,(second Jag) but after about a month of driving it we put pistons and rings in it because it would shut off if you drove it for a while and it was hard to start when it was warm. When we did that, I put the motor out of the second Jag Into the first jag and switched all of the parts that the first jag needed(we made one out of two). Plus the first jag had a rubber track(the second didnt) and a better condition hood, belly pan, and seat. That is the story of how I got my Jag.
