[roverfj1200]

Ladies and Gentlemen the venue for the Wog 57 Memorial 2015 FJ Australian rally is http://www.crownhotelmotel.com/

The date for this great gathering will be 14th March 2015.

You have a number of accommodation options available from pub rooms to adjoining motel.

Over looking the mighty Clarence river and surrounded with some of the best motorcycling roads Australia has to offer.

I would advise you to book as soon as you can as spaces will fill fast and you know you don't want to miss out.

Saturday will see a line up of bikes followed by a pillion friendly ride to lunch. After which we will return to our venue for a night of Tall tails and the rally presentations.

Be there or be square.



To help with the organisation of the rally please state you are with the FJ Rally when booking and let me know of you intention to be there.

Cheers.

Counting down the days Richard, counting down the days. Sitting in the backyard at the moment, having a nice couple of Kilkennys, watching an old stump burn that should have been done ages ago. And while I'm doing this I'm also thinking about that nice back deck at the Crown Hotel overlooking the river for 2 nights in March, woohoo, can't wait.

Yeah, what a nice sunny Sunday. Rich dropped in for a cuppa to stir me up.. After he left, I thought I`d get myself motivated ta prep the FJ ready, ...with some bike racing flicks.

Given the mafia from New South Wales are coming to Grafton in memory of Wog57, I thought I`d check out how some of their bretheran ride....This chapter is from Columbia.

Apparently they prefer a Le Manns start and the smell of two strokes....

Been working furiously to get the bike together. While it is in pieces I have done the coil and headlight relay mod and added an accessory fuse block. Will be picking up new instrument panel and surround tomorrow, master cyl pot and mirrors on their way. Major expense will be rego and new tyres to go on the Suzuki rim. Still looking for a decent ignition/oil pump cover and will order some new pilot jets to go with the pod filters. Should have plenty of time to get it on the road and sorted before the rally. Still only 50% strength in my clutch hand but working on that too.
Apparently it is my turn to host a manshed day after Glenn so early in the new year might be a good time to make sure the canetoad bikes are not shown up by the cockroach mafia

Sounds good Stu.  Are you changing the jet size when you order new ones? I still have the originals with my pods, although the carbs do need a strip/clean, running fine at the moment considering.

Those wogs know how ta ride me thinks. I cant stop watching this enthralling ride in Columbia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBjlGsq_sf8&feature=em-share_video_user

Did anyone else see the square guttered corner followed by a speed hump and a Pole! (around 2.56)
The only hole shot is about 2 foot wide between the RH end of the speed hump and the continuing  squared off, head smashing gutter!..... which lines you up perfectly to hit the pole.

Fortunately the Mafia Workplace Health & Safety guys were obviously alerted and put a tyre at the base of the pole (about a foot below handlebar height).

The camera rider tries using the hump to overtake at one stage, but alas the gutter holeshot is best line.



Me thinks I might need some RPM suspension bits for the Grafton Rally! (gulp) (along with my patented coffee shots for ammo!) Heeeehehe

[stua1959]

Hey Ray,
I will probably go up to the largest jet 42.5 as the idle mixture screws are about 6 turns out and it still stumbles off idle. Was ok before I put the pods on but I will also give the carbs a clean to be on the safe side
