Title: New Aussie Member
Post by: Charley Farley on March 16, 2013, 03:51:39 PM
Hi All

Seeing as I was hanging around with some old reprobates (especially the most esteemed Lord Baldy & the guy with just so many bikes; Megsy) last weekend at the Australian FJ Rally at Bellingen, I thought I had better join the Forum to keep an eye on you guys on the "Little Brother" bikes

I was there on the blue FJR & had a great weekend. The friday night ride down was a tad hairy in the fog, mist, rain & diesel spills but my good mate Megsy had filled my fridge with beer so was a great welcome. Although I think 1 of the beers must have been off cause I was not well Sat morning

Current rides are the '01 FJR + a '85 SRX250 + a '85 Suzi GSX250. Now just got to talk Megsy into parting with one of his 8 or 9 FJ's & I can be a real FJ rider :)

I'm not sure but I don't think that Doug has got one the right colour.      :pardon:
   Welcome Charley. Sorry, I should have mentioned that before I had a swipe at Doug's average selection of FJ's.   :biggrin:

Hi Pete,

Welcome to the forum.

You will find forum members willing and able to render advice on maintening and modding your FJ once you have seen the light and buy one.

I have only been a member here for a few months myself and l am finding the information available invaluable.

Cheers  Chasg

Mmmmm........ So the FJ is venerable = more mature = older = creaking in the joints = slower to get around ???

My Dad always told me to respect my elders & treat them gently

Figured that out when it was the cheapest beer at the racetrack.

There is no self respecting Aussie I know that will voluntarily drink Fosters. You do know how Fosters is made???
Basically, you get an empty can & then go outside & say "here kitty kitty"  :bad: :bad:

I tried a Fosters....once, and once was enough for me.
Now I know...live and learn.
