Suzi's Katana

The famous Suzuki Katana was designed 1979-1980 by the Target Design team at the request of Suzuki Germany specially for their market. 

















The Katana's design started when Suzuki hired Hans Muth, ex-chief of styling for BMW, to update the company's image. The three-man Target Design team consisted of Hans Muth, Jan Fellstrom and Hans-Georg Kasten.

The solitary man

John R. "Johnny" Cash (February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003), American singer-songwriter, actor and author who is seen as one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Primarily remembered as a country icon, his songs and music crossed other genres including rock and roll and rockabilly - especially early in his career - and blues, folk, and gospel. This crossover appeal won Cash the rare honor of induction in the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. Incredible! 
















"One"..........One loveOne blood, one lifeYou've got to do what you shouldOne life with each other
SisterBrothersOne life, but we're not the sameWe get to carry each other, carry each other, one.......
