We all know the rule about no major work on your fj before the Rally , so is this too much?

1.New rear tire
2.readjust suspension
3.do the ignition coil power mod
4.oil change/flush hydraulic fluids
5.sync carbs
6.Ride the hell out of it.

sounds like a few hours and a 6 pack  :wacko2:

OK, here's my version:
1. Haven't ridden in 2 years.
2. New bike.

Do I qualify too?

Nope, either a "loaner" FJ or the KTM.  FJ is not up to the task yet  :cray:

I do hope you can get it out here for next week's rides.

No such thing as too tall.  I'll screw hockey pucks or aluminum blocks to my boots if I have to.  Whatever it takes  :drinks:

I should actually HAVE it for 48 hours AFTER the Rally.  Does that break the 48 hr rule?  It'll show up with the Florida participants.

Well, If they arrive Thursday night, I guess I'd have it for 48 hours by Saturday night.  If the Rally ends when the riding is over, then I would have it for 48 hours after the rally.  Does that make sense?
I dunno, I mean I've already paid for it, so I guess I own it now. I haven't ridden in so long I'm confused myself.  Never mind ...
