    A Kat in the Family

    After my daughters trip to the Cold Kiwi on a borrowed bike I have just got her a GSX250ssm Katana. It needs a bit of work to get it up to scratch including another paint job. I got it going after finding the air box half full of water, drained that and the carbs. New petrol a squirt of ether and away she went. My girl cant wait to get out on it as it needs to be rego'd and WoF. After taking it for a test spin the dark side is looking pretty tempting.
