... it had been since June since I rode the Katana and for some reason I thought it had a full tank of gas. Running out of gas this evening told me that it didn't. You'd think I'd check something like that but last time I looked, the bike had a low fuel light on it... and it worked. At least it used to. Luckily I was close to a gas station and didn't have to push the pig! Still love her... hope she still loves me. :rolleyes:
 
Track day!
finally got to thrash the old girl today, 11000rpm in first four gears!
She went so well, I'm so proud of her :rolleyes: :bowdown: :thumbsup:
I touched 260Kmh on the main straight before turn 1, which has a very fast entry and then tightens up dramatically to a sharp left hander . . you get your braking wrong on this one and you're in a world of pain!
It's mostly a left hand track and quite technical, had a lot of fun and the group I rode with were mostly road riders having a go at the track.
I've ridden this track many times so I know the tricky bits etc, I embarrassed a few 1K sportsbikes I can tell ya lol, but only coz they were average riders and not too confident on a race track . . . the expert riders on R1's, GSXR's etc cleaned me up in the corner sections but were only slightly faster on the main straight, their braking was later due to less weight than my old Gen 1 tank.
Had so much fun . . . AND I also went out in the 250 Production class on my mate's EX250 Kawa, that was interesting having feck-all power and having to use the momentum of the bike to keep the speed up.
I'll stick to my Busa any day :D:laugh::race:I

BRILLIANT. :thumbsup:
Love the gauge package. You made it look easy as you reeled them,very smooth. Then said good-bye in the straights with your front off the ground at times. Very sweet Greg...you make it look easy.
Ahh...just out for a ride on the country backroads...
