Would a chainsaw be a good substitute?

I guess if we have the option, we could cut his/her heart out with a spoon.... That might hurt...

A dull spoon monkey, a really, really dull spoon!
(I have NO objections to blood. Especially when it's not mine.  )

Nahhh....Fair suck of the sauce bottle.....ya gotta at least give him the opportunity of an Aussie 7 step rehabilitation Plan.

It goes like this:-

While ya got him handcuffed, What ya do is:-

1. Place the really important part of his anatomy in the Vice in his shed.

2. Screw the jaws in real tight....keep going until tha screaming stops (Don`t ask how I know this point!).....

3. Now weld the screw gizmo permanently to Vice.

4.Spread some diesel throughout the shed.(don`t use petrol as it lights too quick).

5. Place a sharp knife next to vice.

6. Set Diesel on fire.

7. Unlock the handcuffs, and depart expeditiously. (taking the cuffs with you.)

  Because of your basic devotion to fairness, the next decision is entirely up to him!

Sound like you have been getting all your ideas (they are good) from Mad Max.

Just with some slight changes  (with finesse)

I can't remember the name of the movie with the line, or something similar to this line: "First we dress him in a bunny suit, so after we kill him we can find him in Hell, and kill him some more..."

Unfortunately though, in Oz, the reality would be:

1: Sorry if we hurt you while arresting you - pls don't make a complaint
2: Can I get you a coffee?
3: You can go now your court date is.............
4: At court " We think you have learned your lesson. Off you go and don't do it again"
5: Here is some cash to help you get home

after repeat re offending repeat 4 & 5...............

And I was thinking that only in my country criminals have more rights than me.....

Picked up my new bike last week, an FJ1200 to replace the one that was nicked. Insurance still hasn't come through but I didn't want to let this one slip by.
It's a 1990 model which makes it 5 years older than the old one.
Has almost same ks. It has a belly pan, which the old one didn't have, Oxford heated grips, progressive fork springs from Ikon, extra padding in the pillion seat and lambswool cover, rack and Gear Sack. Overall it is in nicer condition too. Has been well looked after and all the dealer sevices have been done in the service book, then when the PO ran out of space he added an extra page for the dealer to stamp and note what was done, including carb synch'ing and valve adjustments.
So missus and I went on the Hunter short run to Paterson yesterday, 150ks.
So what's it like compared to the old one.
Positive side: Engine smooth and quiet. Suspension feels good, maybe a little more plush. Wife liked the comfort of the extra padding in the seat and the gear rack is at a better angle for her to lean back on. Oh, and it has Staintune stainless mufflers, nice.
On the negative side: The screen is different and causes buffeting wind noise. It doesn't shake my helmet but just makes a loud noise as if there's something flapping. The only way I could ease the noise was by sitting high with my head almost completely higher than the screen or open my visor about an inch which reduced the racket but didn't entirely eliminate it. I did the latter. I'm gonna have to replace this screen I think.
One other thing I noticed is that it tended to wander slightly, nothing alarming but meant I had to concentrate a little more to keep it lined up. I'm putting this down to mismatched tyres. The sizes are correct and I checked pressures, but the front is a Bridgestone BattleAxe and the rear is a Michelin Macadam. The Michelin is almost eight years old and has done 15000ks but still has about 25% wear left. The front has plenty of wear left but I'm not too sure of its age. I'll replace both. Rear wheel bearings have been replaced 8000k ago.
Being an older model I now only have 5 years to wait instead of ten to put it on club plates, on second thought I'd rather have full reg.

good looking bike.

Krusty,

While that bike may have been built in 1990, and thus rego'ed here as a 1990 bike, it is the "B" model same as all the other "B" model 1991 FJs (pink striper). 

That is the OEM stock screen. Either replace it with an aftermarket screen you think you'll like better or modify it to help the wind up and over your head. If you replace it, I'm sure someone here will be happy to buy it from you.
Any parts or bits you still have from your "96" will fit.
With mis-matched tires, especially ones that old you'd be well served replacing them.

Looks like you got a winner.

[TexasDave]

Really good looking bike . I can see why you didn't want that one to slip away. I like the protective gators on the forks.  Dave

[X-Ray]

Very nice looking bike. Well done.
As a side note, if you do ever replace the screen, there are dollars to be made as people do look for good examples of the original one ,
