So last night I went out to look at the 82 Katana advertised on used victoria. The bike did not disapoint! 8400kms (5100mi) Perfect in every way. But that is not the interesting part. No no... The seller also had 2000 Hayabusa all decked out! That wasn't all the owner had, she also had a 2008 Hayabusa. Oh and a brand new Corvette. Ok kinda cool you say, well here is the kicker...the owner of all the beautiful hardware is a 60 YEAR OLD WOMAN! She showed me pics of her on her old bikes that included 1978 gs750e she bought new, complete with clip on bars and a 4 into 1. She told me she wishes she would have held on to one of her favorite bikes over the years...a brand new 1986 GSXR 750!! Oh and I have heard about this woman before from one of the local bike shops and what they told me was "she can ride and she likes to ride fast"! She has radar detectors on all her vehicles and over the years has aquired many points on her license. Imagine the looks she must get from people when she takes off her helmet. Oh and she used to dirt bike but broke both her knees doing that. I Am going to make plans to go riding with her soon. Not sure how I feel about getting my a$$ kicked by a 60 year old woman. Should be cool, just like her. Here are the pics.
Yes that speedo says 340kms!! They don't make that speedo anymore.
And here is the very nice (and fast) lady herself..

. Now I have never been on a bike newer than say 1987. Now I am on a 180hp demon!! I was shocked at just how refined of a bike it was, very smooth and surprisingly easy to ride. I cracked the throttle a couple of times and was doing 140km in what seemed like an eye blink...Wow!! I rode it about 50kms she rode my old girl. And Nancy is a great rider too...not to shaby for a 60 year old woman! She said she enjoyed riding my bike as it brought back memories of the brand new 76 GS750 she owned. lol
