    Hey there Slides, welcome abord. That Katana should keep you interested in biking right thru winter if you have got good gear.

    If you are getting up to it (like me) you can feign a series of mid-life crises and get newer/more bikes as time goes on. I'm just wondering if my wife is going to try the same sometime.
    I have just found out that they have removed the word gullible from the dictionary

    Love those 1100's enjoy. Have a fun return to the fold..
    If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!

How about a pic of the bike? They were a nice machine.
    I know what you mean! I scared myself sh*tless on the test ride! The Kat may be old, but it's still got some serious welly!

    Will post a pic once I have tidied her up a bit.

    And thanks to all for the great welcome!

    Welcome back to the two wheel relm Slides, nice bike by the way. Always had a soft spot for Katanas (and no jokes about a peet bog in Taranaki either). Might meet the right katana one day myself!

    For now gotta lil honda to turn a spanner on and thats a whole load of fun.

    You should come out on the cruisy on a Wednesday night and meet some of the fellow inmates, always fun. See the meetings and events forum under TCWNR Wellington.

    Upper Hutt seems to have quite a few bikers dont you think?
