Troyski comes to La La land

Righto fellas,

I've booked flights etc, &  might have to change this to 'Join me for a ride' but I'll be back in La La land late Feb/early March. I'm busy last week of Feb, but am free (right now) on the weekend of the 2nd March, till the 4th. I've a mate in Reno I'll possibly meet up with either there or in LA.

I'll be in NY from 5th till 11th but will have work and some other bits and pieces going on, but could likely make time there as well.

I'll be in Frankfurt DE from the 11th till 15th and will be pretty full on with work, but can make time if we arrange early (Rolf, you a member here yet?).

Who's up for a beer? :good2: :drinks:

1984 FJ1100 Pearlie, stock as.
1985 FJ1100 Mr Effie 647,000K and still running hard.
1985 FJ1200 'Yummy' takes a licking & keeps on ticking
2013 Trumpy Tiger 800, let's do another lap of Oz

After all is said and done, more is said than done :)

If you get to Reno  and are bored

look me up.Right now I am picking up my second fj1100 next week and may have it running as a loner but if not I could borrow my son's zzr1200 for a second bike if you would like to go for a ride.It is a little chilly here that time of year but great riding.

Travis, having the Sierras in your backyard and the desert in your front yard is all kinds of awesome!

I just got  the new 84fj1100 loaner bike I bought running.I put the carburetors I got from wood Creek Pete and it runs surprisingly well despite the results of my not a real compression test I did before I got it running.Troyske let me know if you think your going to make it to Reno for a ride.   Also Ryan if you want to go to the west coast rally but don't want to ride a gazillion miles to get out here you could fly into Reno borrow my loaner and ride out with me and Ian .I think it's about four or five hours from Reno.

I'm still working on the Reno venture. I've gone quiet as the catch-up is shifting location & I've not wanted to confuse anyone.

Once I'm certain where I'll be I'll let you know.

I took the new fj1100 out on its first real ride(looks pretty odd with the black gas tank off my other fj).I don't have rear brakes yet,i found the nipple on the master cylinder to the resevoir was snapped  off.the tires are twelve years old and petrified only the trip odometer works on the speedometer  but despite that the bike runs great plenty of power and handles well.it should be completely roadworthy soon .Ive got fifty miles on it so far.
