[TurboKat]

Welcome Gr<s>u</s>ant ;)
Excellent choice of obsession you got there...... MMMMMMMM.... Katana [:p]
Did you use the centrestand mounts for the dogbone anchor points?

[grant]

hey Turbokat, yeah i loooooooooooooove my kats...we have the KATANA AUSTRALIA annual ride coming up the end of this month to Khancoban, should be a hoot, i'm making a 4 day weekend outta it, heading up via bairnsdale to mt hotham, then onto khancoban the next day, a couple o nights up there and home through whitfield. hopefully there will be a good turn out year before last there was 16 kats plus a good number of other bikes.
i gotta let ya know the yellow kat was an abandoned project i picked up and am slowly getting together, the centrestand mounts are the dogbone anchors points though.

Ha. Well you'll see him around sooner or later. His username is Kevkatana. Hopefully he'll be along for the Xmas Shindig at Bikecraft in Vic next month. Check out the Vic area events section for more info.

Welcome to the madness Grant

[maggot1300]

hey all I was gonna start a new thread to introduce myself but hell since im in the same area (ftg) and am in the middle of getting 2 750 pop up katana's i figured I'd jump in here :D

names matt currently living in Ferntree Gully and my daily ride is a K6 busa but i've also got a GSX 400E, GSX 400F, the two 85 750 Katanas (one of which will be getting heavily modded)

[gibbo]

G'day Matt, wellcome. I'm just up the road in Upwey, probably see you around.

[Gix11]

Welcome aboard as well Matt. Perfect spot for you mate. Gibbo runs a spray shop so you'll have your bike sorted if you need it. Check Black Edge Auto out when you get chance.

[TurboKat]

G'day Matt, come to the Royal for the Toy Run, keep an eye out for the ASF T shirt wearing Scum & come & introduce yourself.
B.T.W. you could probly sell your 2 Pop Tarts & but yourself a REAL Kat with the money. ;)

[latheboy]

Hey Matt .. What gibbo said

[maggot1300]

lol cheers guys but I dont sell my bikes so I'll keep looking for a decent 1100. theres also an old cb900, rd250 lc and a turbo cbr600 somewhere in the back of the shed that i'll get to eventually but for now im set working on the busa and the 750 kats.

where abouts is that spray shop cause im looking at going to Ians joint in kilsyth (original finish) any thoughts on his work?? good or bad I'd rather know before I fork out another couple a grand.

I tell ya mate, there's only one place to go in Melbourne for paint and that is BLACKEDGE AUTOBODY in Ringwood, the painter there is a ( some say ) living legend in the dark art of paint application, not to mention an all round great bloke, handsom as fuck too:D. Seriously though mate if you want some paintwork done give me a call 0417 583 732. Always happy to help forum members.

[maggot1300]

will do mate, im not after a cheaper price I just want the best job I can afford and i've had a few mates who've had some issues with Ian lately... You open tomorrow, cause I'll be in the area so I can throw my tank in the car so you can see whats gettin done and give me your thoughts on it (it was pretty badly damagfed in a crash 12 months ago so when I got it repaired I used it to test my new colour scheme :)

[latheboy]

There's no one better at painting than gibbo ... you should see what he can do with a paint roller , pin strips, scroll work .. awesome:D;)

[TurboKat]

It's true, Gibbo is the best, I've even seen him paint with 2 spray cans at once, now that's skill. ;)

Yes Matt we will be open today.
