    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

then go buy one somewhere else....there's like 4 of them for sale just here in BC....lol
 
"Two successful guys". Hard to imagine anybody making decisions to give that money for that bike could ever become successful.
 
restored or unrestored, someone has been into it, it's missing air box covers and the air box, rubber boot dial covers on shocks, some goofy spring contraption on the choke, possible aftermarket windscreen (no GE logo). Heat storage or not, after 40 plus years with oem brake fluid in the brakes and anti-dive system would be fuzzy and chunky, this system looks nice, someone had to have cleaned up all that. I am just saying it's a nice bike but it has its flaws and it still went for $16,500. Yes the low miles offset some of those short comings but still, for that kind of money i would expect a more whole example.

Makes one wonder..., does the new owner know all the bikes flaws?
 
Another one of a kind. The first prototype Katana. The rear tail section is Bulsa wood. 20170819_151126.jpg
 
I took those pictures...
A fellow I know, well kind of know. Invited me to view his Katana collection.
He lives in Willoughby Ohio.
He has a awesome collection of Katana's all with under 300 miles. Some with only 1 mile.
Not to mention his automobile collection.

I always thought, if we could get a group of 4 or 5 people together, I'd call to set up a time to visit.
