The following story is absolutely true and not a word of a lie.
Now I can only HOPE/PRAY it will come to fruition.
I was down at the Gold Coast this weekend playing golf with mates.
Most of them I only see once a year for this event.
The talk turned to motorcycles and 1 of them asked me what I owned.
Kawasaki's and a Suzuki Katana I replied.
"Oh he he...I have an 82 1100 Katana with 900k's on the clock".
As you could imagine my eyes lit up with excitement.
Where did get that I asked?
"Well back in 82 when was I working on trawlers up north a bloke on the dock had this bike he was desperately trying to sell for he needed the cash urgently".
My mate knowing nothing about bikes offered him $1500 which the owner accepted.
Where is it now I asked.
"In my farthers shed under a tarp he replied...yer he takes the cover off now an again and starts it up...it even has the original battery installed".
Obviously you all know what my next question was.....Do you want to sell it?
"NO he said...I'll give it to you,it's of no use to me and I don't have a bike license...but you'll probably have to change the tyres as there a bit hard".
You've got to be joking I said...with my throat falling through my arse.
"No fair dinkum he said I'll give it to you...I'll just asked my father and will let you know later this week".
Now all I have to do is wait patiently for his reply.
Please please please let this happen!!!
How do you like them bananas?
