And in with...well, the old, but new to me.
I sold my KZ1000 Police bike to a fine gentleman who I believe will appreciate it. The primary reasons I sold the bike is that is was to wide for splitting lanes in SF, to wide too park in my backyard and only has one seat, so no passengers.
Fortuitously, last week Lisa Duke (of the CCSF motorcycle department) requested that I buy a shop bike in an effort to reduce the amount of bike in the shop. So I did. It's a 1992 Suzuki GSX-F 750 (aka the Katana). For you that are interested in such things, it's the same engine as the GSX-R (pronounced Gixer), a bike renowned for street racing and injuring inexperience newb's, but with a different body configuration and is, in any case, my first Suzuki. The bike ran when it was dropped off at the class so I have some optimism about getting it in running order before class is out (two weeks!).
It looks almost nothing like the picture below. I mean there are reasons bikes are donated to the class and 'too pretty' isn't one of them.
This will be the fifth bike I've owned in 2006. I think I'm going to hang on to it and take a break from the whole motorcycle repair thing a a while.
