Actually Bushido mean "The way of Samurai", its bascially mean loyalty and honour with the pratice of martial art.
Don't get it confuse with Aikido, or Kempo, which follow similar code, except its more about martial art then the way of life.
And a bit more info on their Katana, Samurai usually carry a Wakizashi and a Katana, but when they are in a pair its called Daishio.

regretablly no i havent..but i am quite fluent in speaking jap. Would love to chuck a heap of money into buying a katana, wakazahi and tanto set, although customs would not be pleased.

You can actually still get them but you need a licence and a lock up cabinet that bolt to the ground for them.
I use to have heaps, but i don't practice anymore so i don't have a valid licence.
The good thing back then was, i was legally able to carry most weapons in my car, as long as i'm going to and back from training. And there was classes from 8am to 11pm LOL.
The other option is to join a special "collectable" club

welcome to the white version R club. I know you'll love it.
Respect for our Japanese abilities, agreed I love them for giving us the FTO too
On the wheel front I've got Enkie RP03's on mine that I got from UAS but I think I may have payed a little too much for them.
