Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction.

Had the pleasure of having Jantar stay on Friday night (first time we've met).

The discussion moved onto my bike and the fact that Jantar had also owned a wire wheel Katana about 20 years ago.

Well, upon consulting the ownership papers, turns out he owned my wire wheel Katana about 20 years ago.

Or there's only so many folk with poor taste in bikes? (Kidding!)

Ah shit - it's a sinking feeling finding out that your pride and joy was thrashed before you got it!

Ha ha, kidding aside - that's some freaky stuff there!

I remember straining my jeans over the wire wheel Katana when they arrived in NZ, all new and gleaming. 120hp was the quoted figure if I remember correctly.

hard case!

**R6_kid:Me** · 22nd March 2009, 09:55

Did he tell you about how hard he thrashed it before you found out it was the same bike?

**Gubb** · 22nd March 2009, 09:58

Bet it didn't look as good when Jantar had it. That bike is meticulous.

**DMNTD:Me** · 22nd March 2009, 09:58

Those wheelie pictures posted sure were impressive eh!

..........holy shit!....right up there with finding out your best mate fucked your wife, questionably worse in fact!

**Okey Dokey** · 22nd March 2009, 11:40

What a cool coincidence. Synchronicity...

**Insanity_rules** · 22nd March 2009, 11:51

Whoa, thats kinda like a dejavu or something.

Even worse if he still fancies his chances on "just one more ride"...

Not quite the same but not long after I first met Yow Ling he was in at work and saw a business card with my last name on it and asked if I used to have a RZ500, well no I didn't, but as it turned out he had bought a RZ500 that used to be my brothers back in the nineties
