Hi from Brisbane Southside

S

Spike

Hi all,
just a long post to introduce myself. Although I registered some time ago to the site, I had access issues to the forum. So thanks to Shin-Ken 1074, who just happened to run into me one recent Saturday & also Frankie.
My Katana history started in 1985, when I purchased a brand new SE from Melbourne Suzuki. Wow what a bike. I was only 19! Sounds like a song doesn't it. Lol. Anyway about two months later I remember taking off my helmet one day in Elizabeth Street on a Saturday morning and everyone was looking at me and saying how young I was and that I shouldn't be riding that machine.
Fast forward 32 years (children older now) I finally brought another SE only this one is an 86 model. The sad thing is.........now I take off my helmet and people say how old I am and that I shouldn't be riding that machine!!!!!
Gee you just can't please people can you?
Anyway looking forward to catching up with you all at some point!!

Steve/ alias Spike.

Hey Steve,
Nice sled!
You're re not at Waterford are you? I might have bought some bits off you recently (ish).
Welcome aboard.
Ben.
 
Welcome Steve.

Always good to hear about Kats in and around Brissie

Looking forward to meeting you and the Kat.

Cheers.
 
Welcome Spike,
Hopefully you can make it to the State Of Origin ride to bolster the QLD numbers.

Good chance to catch up with Kat owners Nth & Sth of the border.

Cheers
Stuart
 
Hi Steve and welcome (again) to the Forum. Glad to know you have made it back on a Kat, not just any Kat! A 1986 plated SE, very sweet ride indeed! Thanks for the photo and I am sure there will be plenty more taken on our rides and at this years SOO. Yes Frankie is a good egg and his help is always appreciated.

Cheers,
Glen.
