Well, judging by the number of cagers that want to ride the curb as I come up behind them I can well believe it.

I'll give it a Wank rating on the strength of it's content.

A Highly Commendable for the cinematography though.

ANTIQUE!?!?!

If 5 years is antique (2 years from first registration) then I shudder to think what you would've called my previous ride - a 1986 CBX550.

I WAS refering to the age ... of the Katana of the owner I was quoting ...

Could you NOT figure THAT out yourself ... ???

At least it wasn't a Teapot.

Don't edit your post, own the moment, you earned it

Loved that vid and thanks for posting. I too have no problem with helmet hair.

Nice vid fine! As for me, dressed in my red camo pajamas - I get the double takes and the kiddies doing the pointy-pointy finger thing ("Dad, dad! Counter strike ninja!)

The term "antique katana" did make me think you were referring to the bike.

I can remember a time before mobile phones, laptops and even the IBM PC so, yes, calling me an antique is probably quite accurate in a lot of ways.

Although I'm still a little confused. Perhaps you've left a "not" off that post?

Teapot it may be but to paraphrase the words of one reviewer - "Those that don't know them hate them but those that own them love them". I certainly love mine.

Wot he said.

I have always found it amusing since I was a child how people are incredibly fast to rubbish someone else's toy, whereas there's is the only one worth having. And so it continues with bikes. Even to the point of the model. I once complimented katman on his choice of a Katana whereas he responded with "Ah no mines a proper one not an ugly one like yours." LOL like it matters

You ride it, you like it. You don't like it, you sell it. Simple!

Don't get me wrong - I think the GSX750F is a very good bike.

It's just that I'll never forgive Suzuki for using the Katana name on them though.
