            Spoked wheels on a Kat just look so right.

                    Me to but I really like the "star" alloys.The first WW Kat I seen made me go woo that's different.Getting used to them but alloys look best IMHO.I respect what they are and get the cool factor.
                    Really great bike to!

                        Heck, maybe I'm twisted or something (the missus would agree but that's another story). To me the Kat still looks futuristic - even 30 years or so later. And the spokes are the opposite - old fashioned. It's that mix that does the extra bit for me.

                                If the cellar is 53 degrees F that's me guilty as charged then. I bought a pint of OSH the other day that had been in the fridge - might just as well have bought lager....ugh!

                                            Well, it's not too many BOMs I really like to see be replaced (except maybe the last bozo selling a bike) but this one will really hurt - Glen, great looking original WW Kat!!

                                                Hi Scott, thanks for the kind words about the Kat. At least she has had her Time In The Sun, so it is all good. Cheers mate.
