New Cat in sunny ol' Sussex

Hi All,

I'm 20 and just bought my first big bike. '97 Cat with Beowulf can, seat with attached cowl and after market seat fairings, and a black screen. Also got datatags and evo alarm for good measure (although I hear they can drive you nuts!)

Oh yeah and I got all the stock stuff and the stock and a micron can! All in all seems a pretty good deal!

Picking her up on Saturday and can't wait to get out on the road! Haven't ridden for a year since I sold my Suzuki Intruder 125! My bro has a bandit 600 and test rode the Cat and he only got to 30 an was grinning!

Nice to meet you all and hope to see you on the open road!

Hi and welcome.

You be pleased to hear the 'Cat does a bit more than 30

Whereabouts in East Sussex are you?

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Check out the "Something for the Weekend" section for annual ride-outs if you're up for a meet n greet.

Also the southern chapter are in the early stages of sorting a run down your way sometime soon.

I'll check it out thanks!

Haven't given her a name yet but she's the red and black front with white tail. The previous owner bought a pair of black tail fairings so its all red and black now So the same as littlecat's but with black at the back

Hi Stew,

Welcome to the site. I hope you find things friendly and helpful here.
Post up a pic of the bike as soon as you can.
Oh, and we're still recruiting for the Taste of Lincolnshire in Sept so if you fancy a group ride out come and join us.

Cheers,
Chris

Hi Stewbacca

Welcome to the forum.
Good luck with the new bike.

I went from a bandit600 to the thundercat and although they are both 600's it was night and day.

Treat her with a lot of respect and get lots of experience.
Low speed control ( and emergency manouvres in a wide open space) in an industrial estate is well worth the effort and should do wonders for confidence.

Take it nice and easy (to start with at least)

Ride safe & Enjoy

Picked up my lovely Cat yesterday and the ride is AMAZING!! corners are a breeze and it;s really responsive. Loving it!

I will post pics when I get a sunny afternoon so maybe today!

I did have a problem with leaking coolant but it seems the filler cap had come loose, and then I filled it too high so it was spewing out the overflow

Trying to post pics.. the how to says to put it into my personal gallery? Where is that!? My old phone has not camera so got some good pics now but can't load them!

Thanks

Read the posts (all of 'em), in this LINK , and you should be right.

Thanks Oldcat. I saw that but was trying to do the 'upload to my gallery' part. Ended up photobucketing it

So here she is!!

That looks a lovely example, very clean

They ar esuch good looking bikes , your's looks really shiney ! Welcome to the house of fun !
