Thanks for the flattering comments, Trevor!

Thanks for the flattering comments, Trevor!

Although I still have the two Hayabusas, I have sold the Kat to a very excited couple who live about 12 hours north of Brisbane, Australia. Like they are expecting a baby! And it is going to a good home. I picked up the 08 Hayabusa this spring and it's terrific. All I did was order a Corbin seat--it's about 1.5" lower. I had a Corbin seat custom fit to me in 2000 for the 2000 Busa. We were visiting Hollister, CA and had it made while I waited, so it's lower still. Love the Yosh pipe on the 08, so I've got one for the 00 and an updated undertail, so that's my winter project. The HMF high exits are cool looking but NOISY. I even repacked the mufflers but it didn't help. I had a Yosh pipe on my 1976 (first) GS750 (see Trevor's earlier post). It eventually became a Yosh 850 and had lots of goodies on it, like a custom swing arm and magnesium rims. I painted it myself. I sold it in 82 when I bought my first Kat1100. Always wondered what became of it, so if you know of this bike, let me know! It had forks off a 78 or 79 for the dual discs.

Just joined today. Only question, how do you upload pix to the forum?

Welcome to the forum, Nancy. There is quite a collective of BC riders here now.

There are a number of ways to do it (post images). One of the most-used is to create an account in something like Photobucket, and then post the image information to your posts that way. You can also create personal albums in your User CP at the top of the Forum window. I'm sure you have already seen the little photo icon at the top of the message box, but it's odd in that it will only link to a URL rather than posting an image directly into the message.

Supposedly you can copy and paste images directly into messages, and I've seen plenty of pictures where the poster says they have done that; personally I've not been able to do that in the last number of months.

Welcome to the forum! We are glad to have you.

As far as pictures:

- www.photobucket.com
- Create an account
- Upload your picture
- Under each picture is an "image code"
- copy and paste that code into the text in your post

EEEEasy.

Welcome to the forum Nancy! I'm a bit of a Kat fan myself although I haven't gone down the path of ownership just yet... I'm contemplating an early 81 or 82 750 as my first foray into Kats.

Your Kat is headed 12 hours north of me... very interesting! Let them know about the Katana Australia forum too (members.suzuki-katana.net) as the guys here are quite active and we will be having a combined GS Resources and Katana forum run on the 18th November.

I am so inspired by you! Welcome.
