After visiting Casa Del Large on the weekend & ogling his Kat I've found inspiration to get off my fat, lazy arse & get stuck into my own Katana collection so that I actually have one that I can ride.
It occured to me that I'm not Bob Crusoe when it comes to stagnant/unfinished/unstarted/unrealised Kat builds, I know there are several members who own examples of the best looking motorcycle ever made that have intentions of building them into actual rideable motorcycles so consider this a slap in the face with a gauntlet & a challenge to a duel to the death (maybe bit melodramatic there...)
So, now's the time to man the fuck up & pledge allegiance to the mighty Katana by prioritising your builds & getting stuck in, I'm proposing an ASF Katana build off over a 6 month period starting on April Fools Day, if you're interested in taking part there will be a huge cash prize*, a commemorative plaque & a flash Katana based trophy to the winner who would be decided by an ASF members only poll.
Build progress must be documented here with start & finish pics to be dated with a newspaper.
It doesn't matter whether your Kat just needs a freshen up** or a frame up rebuild or if it's standard spec, mildy modified or full custom, the ASF membership will decide which one they like the best.
In the interest of flushing out any Kat owners who may be a bit shy, I encourage everyone to name & shame anybody who doesn't confess to their dormant Katana ownership, I'll start the ball rolling...

Your name here.
Who's up for it? Not only will you receive the above mentioned prizes, you will also end up with a larger penis & a Katana that you can ride, pull hot chicks with & stare lovingly at for hours, it's a win-win situation & you know it so get on board!
* well maybe not that huge
** you do have to do some substantial work or mods, otherwise it's not a 'build'
