      Hi Folks, perfect weather here today in Queensland Australia for a ride. What could be better than taking the vintage Kat out for a blat? Having some of your friends bring their vintage Kats along to share the fun, 15 of them!

          Only fifteen GS motorcycles out for a ride? The Midwest guys in the States are hard pressed to find two or three running GS models to go to a GS Rally.
          I thought that parts were difficult to come by and expensive down there. That is a beautiful sight to see for a person that is fond of GS bikes.

            Lol....GSX1000E you sure seem upset about these guys with GS bikes not riding them. I have noticed in several of your posts (including a reference in the pnw thread appluading us for having so many gs bikes show up) your frustration. What's going on with that buddy?
            Sorry for the hijack...that's some collection of Katanas...and knowing what they sell for down there, that's a lot of $$$ in one parking lot.

              Had a longer ride planned, but a flat spot turned up at partial throttle, so I kept it short on the boinger.

                  Thanks for posting it Glen, that was a top day indeed! Seeing all those Kats is inspirational... really need to do something about not having one!!!

                  And i've been a bit remiss and haven't logged in here for ages...

                  There are some videos in my Youtube channel of the recent September ride and a Sunday morning ride I did with a fella from work.

                  No Youtube embedding on here so you'll have to click the link to my channel... enjoy!

                    Hi Pete, yeah it was a great day and made even better with 15 Kats roaring through the hills. Thanks for the vid link, the new camera is fantastic.

                    Cheers.

                      Took a ride out to our monthly get together at the Classic Motorcycle club for breakfast this morning.
                      Weather was good and the breakfast was as well, so all the biker types crawled out of the woodwork, damn, I love summer.

                      Toast, eggs, bacon and sausages hot and delicious

                          Not sure I would have modified a collectable bike like that, pretty silly I think.






                          And one more of Jennifer, just because she is so pretty.

                            Thanks for the pics.
                            Some beautiful bikes.
                            I especially like the cafe Beemer.

                              The Bayerishe is handsome;
                              Your Jennifer too;
                              Gullwing on a Kat? A bit too much for me;
                              Can you recall what is that appendix right below the left-hand turn light of the bike shop owner?

                              Having said that, where is the registration going to be accomodated on the K1000/750 ?
                              And what about the blinkers? And I bet the coin-sized tail light (if any) is going to do much for visibility. Take it as an humble advice to future resto-modders
