It's really funny Pete that you post a picture of this bike and I had to do a serious double take when I saw it.

As you might have seen from one of my posts, my stepdaughter is really getting serious about wanting a motorcycle when she turns 16. As typical for anything she REALLY wants, she will start drawing pictures of them almost non-stop. Here's one she drew that has an almost uncanny resemblance to the bike you show here EVEN THOUGH she's never seen one like it. In fact, she was trying to draw the cruiser seen in my Total Control book.



Great pictures of the show. Wish we could have been there.

Haha classic... I know the feeling she has... typically that results in me doing really dodgy mock-ups in the GIMP that look terrible and have no resemblance to the real thing...

Glad you enjoyed the shots

Yeah ya slacker... haha... at least you made the museum one right?

I didn't get a shot but they had the Y2K bike there and ran it up a couple of times... man that thing's loud! And all you can smell is jet fuel...

And this would be the SR:



Quite tastefully done! He does good work...

No dramas at all Glen, more than happy to get it going. Always good to get out with you bunch for a bit although next time will have to be riding rather than gawking...

wow, nice pics that's a fair size event.

Much bigger than I remember it Clancey! Last time I went was '99 or 2000 though and it was still under the Story Bridge...

Cant I didn't this thread today! Great pictures Pete, thanks for sharing. That worked up scrambler with the nice road race wheels was very tasty, even if the rear shocks were 4 feet too long .

Some nice Katanas it seemed too. But not a single Pop-Up, I think that may be among the rarest Japanese bikes ever, if not now, it certainly will be in ten more years or so.

Good stuff mate!

Glad you enjoyed 'em Tim

If Paul who rode the Pantah took his Kat there would've at least been one in the bike park... but yeah they've typically been hard to come by but there's usually one or two around on eBay at the moment. I just hope there'll still be one there for me when I have the $$$...
