Hi!

I used to look around from time to time on the Yahoo forum.  I was registered under Heyricky but didn't post very often.  I really like the format of this new forum, so here I am.

I'm located in St-Jerome, Qc (45 min north of Montreal) and I ride a blue and silver 92.  Like many of you I got the mod fever... My FJ has a Corbin seat, Hagon rear shock, Racetech 1.0 fork springs, FZR 1000 front and rear wheels (yep, the 18" one...) and R6 blue dot calipers and master.  Now I need to get these steel braided brake lines asap... Tires and oil??  Hmmmm... I think I'll wait before I start another debate...  ;D

I'm glad to be part of this wonderful group.  See ya!

Hey Richard, welcome to the group, I've been through your area a couple of times on the way to ski.  Pretty countryside and some great roads.  One of these days I'll have to come up in the summer and check out the area when it's not covered by snow.

HI Richard

Welcome!

Last fall I did a ride to Mont Tremblant. Beutiful roads and scenery.

We were on a two lane road in Quebec doing 120km when from out of no where we get passed by an ATV. He gets about 100m in front, pops a wheelie and takes off. I just couldn't believe it. It was a great trip.

Great place Tremblant, lots of good eaterys in the Village.  Pretty nice hill too, just too damn cold for this southern boy.  Maybe I'll get to ride up there someday.

Hi Richard,

I was a lurker on the Yahoo group as well. I'm in Montreal and I have a 93 FJ. My mods aren't nearly as extensive as yours, but I did do the 17 in rear wheel conversion, Racetech fork springs and the stainless steel lines.

Might fire up the beast this weekend....
