First time out off europe

[Koebiker]

Hello,

i'm new here, and found this site as a link on the dutch Katanaclub = GSXFclub.

Most off the time i will be reading, because my knowledge off your language is not so good, there for my excuses.

Well i'm from '51 but still kicking , my bike GSX600F - Katana 600 - color Black/purple with yellow striping.

For now, that's all folks

OK

Just a little bit more information about me and my bike.

I have bought (from buy? past sentence?) in june 2000 on my wifes birthday, this happends because i dont know what to give her as a present and this was a nice alternative

It has only 20.000 km thats about 13.000 miles i think.
Before i had a Honda VT 500 Shadow, but this bike was to short for me, the steer was to close and i did not have enough place for my legs i'm 1,87 meter tall.
The gsxf-katana fits me much better and it's far more fun to drive and handle.
There is more to read about me on my homepage but thats written in Dutch
Well i'm maried since 1972 and we have one daughter from 1975.
We live in a small village/town on the west coast from the netherlands aprox. 50 km north-west off amsterdam.


My Bike

The other hobby Karting, its a Bowman frame with two Honda 160cc-5.5 bhp engins with automatic clutch.

The old guy on the left is me the other one is a friend/co owner.

About my english i'm blushing, thanks.
We bought the kart in 1999 and we just drive for fun, no competition. There are always some other kart owners on saturdays and sundays, whith we can drive a friendly competition. From my home to the karting circuit is 10 km/7 miles, and we have modifyd an old foulding/tent/caravan so the kart fits in it for transportation.
So when we will drive we hook up the trailer and 20 minutes later we are karting. Its a outdoor circuit with a lenght off 700 meters, with a kart shop and restaurant. Mostly when we go we arriving at 10 am and stay till 8 pm. It's a lot off fun and a kind off vacation day, very good to relax and forgot all kinds off worry's and troubles.
There is more information on my webpage http://home.planet.nl/~eck00711 it's in dutch but the pictures tell's you more, i hope.
