What did you buy today ???

We could do with rain dear - very dry here  - it pisses down for 90% of the year, we are surrounded by bloody water and now a hosepipe ban  oh and most of Welsh water goes to England !!

Its the same up here been very dry and most of the grass is burnt off , we have had a bit of rain but the ground is so hard it just runs off the top ..... but we still have plenty of water at the minute but i am keeping an eye on the wells .

wire wheel kat, certainly sounds interesting.

It was a rough stock 750 Kat many yeas ago.
A guy I know did the wire wheel conversion, powder coated the frame, fitted the 1100, bought some new bodywork, did the 1170 conversion, updated the electrics to GSXR, fitted flat slide carbs etc etc. I like it, but its over 4 times what I paid for my wire wheel GSX1100ET and its more than a very clean Gen-2 Hayabusa.  I'm still thinking.

I'm picking it's a No, else it's a change in direction of your bike ownership ethos.  Kiwi 2c worth.

It ticks all the box's of being "Suzuki... In line 4.... 16v.... Chain drive.... 1980 to 2008"

I'm just not convinced about spending so much on some Old Skool Cool when I already have a similar age bike, and I was thinking more about touring or the drags..... but the devil on my other shoulders says "Buy another Kat!"

[grog]

my thoughts only Tony. all about the kool. you already have better. new busa, keep that illuminated. i rode a honda 4 recently, in my youth we all had. even as 30 yr old i had one along with gs1000. i loved them. my recent ride, shattered my rememberings.

A dozen stubbies is huge?   Must be different down under.

Must have rephrased that line...

I mentioned the offer....Not My purchase

[KiwiCol]

Ok Donald,  I can see how you meant it now, but, it doesn't read that way - agree?   And Yep, a dozen for that price is a good deal & I'll join ya for the 1pm start!

Some spare screwdrivers and some zip ties to chuck in another toolbox, I'm kitting up a spare box to go in the ute without robbing my roll cabs.

2 tourist visa's to enter Cambodia.

6 bottles of alcohol free beer and 2 bottles of Lemon, lime and Bitter.

A new 60ltr "medium size" suitcase.

most of Welsh water goes to England !!

I once heard a Welsh truck driver say to a customer from Birmingham.... "You know why your kettles furr up in the Midlands? Because the Welsh all piss in the dams!"
