HI Woody. I'm "cuoccimix" from Italy, i changed my nickname, but i still follow your channel since 15 years and more. Glad to hear you again, master of downstrokes! You have the very same bike i owned 12 years ago (when i started to ride bikes again). A 1991 white/red GSX 750 F with single headlight. Same bike with just bigger engine. Reliable workhorses, cheap to buy and to fix. A bit on the heavy side, but yours has shorter wheelbase and it's easier to drive. I did not know that they were imported as Katana (typically US denomination) in NL. I suggest you the Katrider forum. Now i have a 1998 Honda VFR 800 FI and a Suzuki Freewind. Enjoy the bike. Motorcycles help to cure every illness.
@@Antanix Hi! So nice to hear from you. And what a coincidence regarding the motorbikes. It’s too funny because today I have traded my GSX for a… VFR 800 FI from 1999! I was totally overwhelmed by the test drive: so much torque and power compared to my 600f. Also handling and brakes are so much better. And that sound! I will pick it up next Thursday. 😁
Yes it is.🙂 33 years old and I can’t fault it. I was extremely lucky that the 2 previous owners were both skilled mechanics who have kept the bike in tip top condition.
So glad to know that you are OK...must admit I was a little worried about you ! Had lots of bikes in the past, in fact I didn't pass my car test until I was 40 !!!! Too old and too many aching bones to ride them now though. Hope you enjoy it mate and stay safe 👍
Aching bones… yeah that sounds familiar. After two hours of riding my back gives me a reality check that I am 70 years old lol! I’ll enjoy riding as long as it lasts.😉
I've seen the video again, how beautiful it is......damn. Sometimes when I was riding my motorcycle, memories would come back to me......and I would hum Ramones songs when I was driving......you'll see how it happens to you too......... . Beautiful motorcycle! Up the Woody!
Lol! Yeah, I've been through a pretty rough time for the last 2 years; ongoing kidney problems, 2 times surgery, and some other issues... I recently saw your cooking vids. Love the idea since I am suffering from "cooking block" currently. I might pick up some good ideas.
@@woodyamsterdam Really great to know you're still around, as I wasn't sure. 😬 When still married, I was in the kitchen every weekend to prepare Asian or Mediterranean dishes. The cooking videos are a substitute, because arthritis sometimes keeps me from playing bass. ☹ Never mind, I'm happy. 😀
