Well, k'erst is off to life in the Bay, with a new owner to be announced in the next few weeks.
Parting is such sweet sorrow.
Time to start saving for that dual-purpose bike.
It got a send off clean and polish yesterday and a final set of photos.
The bottom photos give an idea of far gone k'erst was. The ones on the top and right show what can be done for less the the price of a set of tyres, a major service, and decent night out.
The Katana went from daggy and dangerous to reliable transport and I've done the better part of 6000kms, from 13,300kms to the near 19,000kms shown on the speedo now, from commuting to charging about the hills and valleys of the Wairarapa.
It had a power curve that emulated those peaks and valleys, but now it is one of the smoothest bikes I've ever owned.
Good luck and good fortune k'erst. Time to bring pleasure to someone else.
