  • Got my Kat back and too her out!...

    Yesterday we got the Kat out of the shop. My husband rode her home because I hadn't ridden her more than around the neighborhood and we had 40 MPH sustained winds with 60 MPH gusts. I wasn't ready.

    This morning my husband and I got on our bikes and took a long ride. My first long ride on the Kat. We did hit some winds but I seemed to handle it pretty well. Stopped and had some fine New Mexican cuisine for lunch!

    So, my point, I guess, is ...I was just a KatOwner, now I am officially a KatRider.

    Took my riding to a whole new level. It was great!

    I got cought out in some stiff gusty side winds one day onna Kat. I just tucked down and she stayed very steady at highway speeds without moving in the lane too much. was a real pleasure vs being cought in the wind on the LTD. felt like a barn on the LTD some really gusty days

      Good to hear your out riding. I havnt gotten in much of a ride yet this year due to the weather but its looking better now.
      Can't blame me for something I don't remember.

        Hi, glad to hear you're enjoying your Kat. Watch out for those winds tho. I'm in Albq and have been blown all over the road these last couple of days.

            I rode my husbands GS500F from UNM home on Thursday, and was fine on 40, but once I got on to Unser, I thought it was the end of me! That had to have been the scariest thing I have done in a long time. When I got home, I walked in the door and kissed the ground.

              I normaly don't like to ride when windy, but the Kat handles it well. Guess cause it's lighter than was my Futura.

              I bought my first Kat in 1991, brand new, a red 600. No pics though.
