A whopping 11 members online today. Sheesh!


I may be wrong, but I think the number that you see is actually the most logged in members at one time for the day.

No, I think you're correct. However, the low number is an indicator of something.

P.S. You need to quit hanging with the Vmax crowd so much.  :rofl:

Hilariously, "tire" is actually the more correct spelling, etymologically speaking. It's also the original one. "Tyre" is just Brits being snooty.

Same here. I don't usually log in unless I have something to post. I do post a few jokes but my knowledge of FJ's is small compared to most members. Also as our riding season closes for the riders up north their forum participation slows. Luckily the Aussies are taking up the slack.  Dave

The other way around for me. Too busy with good weather fun (and duties/obligations) during the riding season.

Well, start some new topics..
How bout what tire psi do you all run with radial tires ?
How much sag are you actually running on front and rear?
What fork oil do you use and at what level?

Real numbers please and not bullshit book specs .
I have been messing around with my setup and would like to hear what works well for hot dogs and cruisers alike.

^^ I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if he's ok?

It is common for online traffic on web sites to ebb and flow. Just as it is common for long time FJ riders to move on to other bikes.

I'm not going anywhere.

3) Replace your old stock rubber brake lines.
