OldSkoolSUZUKI at Paul Gower's Wheelie School Posted Monday, March 21, 2005 by PerversePolisher
Friday the 18th saw a large group of us take over the Wheelie School at Bovingdon. We had hot weather, cold beer and plenty of laughs. Many thanks to Paul Gower for giving us a more than generous discount. If you'd like to book up for yourself, get over to www.thewheelieschool.co.uk. Just to show that he supports us, all his bikes are now bestowed with OSS stickers too.

Graham's KatanR Posted Wednesday, March 16, 2005 by Mr.7/11
It is very hard to improve on the classic "ED-2" design of the Katana.
Subtle changes is the key here but when it comes to building streetfighters "extreme" is what people have in mind rather than "subtle".
So if you're a Katana-purist better not have a look at Graham's excellent write-up about the build of his KatanR.

Oldskoolsuzukis rule once more Posted Friday, March 11, 2005 by Mr.7/11
It makes my incredibly proud to see that the term "oldskoolsuzuki", even with the "funky spelling" has become a household name in the world of modified bikes. Unreal even.
Jon Tober wrote a very nice article about Paul Funk's show winning GSX-R in the Dutch magazine "Motor Revue". The same issue also contains an article about the restoration of a GSX1100S Katana (sadly no hacksaws or angle grinders involved).

Dave's custom-framed Katana Posted Tuesday, March 8, 2005 by Mr.7/11
There are more ways to fit a GSX-R engine to your Katana. Dave is designing his own frame for his Kat. Very impressive indeed!

Bike of the Month - March 2005 Posted Friday, March 4, 2005 by Mr.7/11
This is the 12th Bike of the Month. I consider Dave's KatanR one of OSS's flagships because it resembles all that we do in one package and a lot of info and resources from the site were used to build it.
Sorry for the low-quality picture but if you want more info buy this month's SFmag (nr.134).
