Hi
My name is Teddy. I live in the Netherlands so you may keep any spelling mistakes you can find :good2:
I'm 38, and a longtime member of the Dutch FJ1200 forum.
I own a 3CV FJ1200. It is my first and only bike I have ever owned.
Originally it was black with a red/purple/blue band.
I have slightly modified it during the years.
I will try to put some pictures up.
Hope put read and post some nice topics!

Leave the man's girl friend out of this Bob!
Dan
thats badass.... i've always been a big fan of the bumblebee colors/pattern.
nice work. :good2:
KOokaloo!
Very bad ass and yet cool looking bike. :good2: Tell us more about what's done to it...
Pictures of my wife? I'll ask but don't count on it :rofl:
The bike:
3cv frame
1tx forks front and rear. extra brace welded on the rear fork
WP springs in the front fork.
öhlins rear spring
Marvic 17" rearwheel
Ducati front wheel
Brembo cast-iron discs and callipers front (best upgrade I can recommend :good2:)
I also used the best parts that Honda offer:
Plastic is imitation RFV750rr
Tank is Fireblade
Mirrors are SP1
Best for last: the engine
original bore with standard pistons standard compression
head is ported and flowed for Keihin FCR's
It has camshafts that have been cut 1mm of the diameter. More lift and they stay open longer.
It runs 124,8 real horsepower on the rearwheel on a Jaros dyno.
For comparison: A 2001 Hayabusa only manages 138 hp on the same dyno.
Max torque is at 7400
max power is at 9700
Bad news is that it'll only do 10 kilometres per liter of fuel.
I'll take some more detailed pictures and post them
Sweet ride I am especially interested in the plastics, but welcome to the group :good2:
Thanks all!
I hope to contribute to the site.
Somewhat more about me?
I live in the Netherlands, but I was born in the U.S. in Kansas City Missouri
I lived in a small town called Appleton City for three years before my parents moved to the Netherlands.
My mother is American, my dad Dutch.
I like riding dikes, which we have a lot of in the Netherlands.
I'm, off course, talking about the earth walls that keep the water out, not talking about women who ....... :pardon:
This very dike:
Waalbanddijk Time Attack (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7DmAngwxPs#)
This is not me, this bikes is missing a few cylinders.
Anywayzz Thanks for all the compliments !
Asked the wife for the picture. Still not talking to me.........

Seems that we have quite a number of dykes here in the States, too, although I can't say I've ever been tempted to ride one of them. I think that in most cases I'd prefer to "shake hands with the mayor" or simply go without.
Of course, that's just my opinion.

That video was very interesting.
If it were not for the cars on the road, it would have been hard to say which side of the road you guys drive on, because that rider was all over the place, and meeting ALOT of hazzards!
Makes my riding look very controlled, in comparison.
Wow. Just wow, and not in a good way.
I was holding my breath waiting for the pile-up.

Agreed.
Dan
I totally agree with you guys.
He was driving when it wasn't busy
I've seen idiots do this kinds of driving with 20 times more bicycles and pedestrians on the dike.
Some parts have a speedlimit of 38 mph but most parts it's 50mph
I personally would never bicycle or walk there.
I can't say that I drive a lot slower. We however tend to "do"the dike at 8 in the morning.
No bikers or pedestrians.
It's a family tradition. My father used to race on this dike.
Cars aren't a problem. It's the repairwork the do in the corners.
The fill up the corners with gravels, where the cars clip the edge.
The first car after the repairwork that clips the corner, throws the gravel onto the road....in the corner.
We usually scope the dike going one way and then "do" the dike at a "moderate" speed, going back.
Hey Burns how much work did you have to put in for the plastics? I have been looking for a good full fairing that will still allow air flow and that wont take much work to fit on the bike but have been unlucky so far
