   Bermagui shed days will be held on the 6th and 7th of December. As usual, those wanting beds for the weekend please advise ASAP.
Probably beds for 7 to 8 people so first in best dressed. Camping and swag room also available.
The agenda will be similar to previous weekends and if anyone has any (sensible) suggestions to enhance our activities, please let us know.
  Regards, Pete.  :good2: :drinks:

G'day Pete

Looking forward to it more than Christmas.
I'll have my usual bed at Alfs (even though I've only attended once).
As for "sensible" enhancements, well no,
Why change a Great format.

   G'day Al, consider yourself booked in. The dates probably should read 6th, 7th and 8th.
It's only been a couple of weeks but I miss you blokes already. Always great to catch up with the FJ family.
   Regards, Pete.

Hi Pete

How could one possibly not attend this weekend.
I will be there.
Hope to leave Thursday and take two days to arrive, most likely via Cootamundra and Tumbarumba.
I shall bring my own bedding.

It must be my turn for a shout.
You do like "Old", don't you.

There is every chance we may have a look see at my clutch.
I shall come armed with all the necessary parts.

C U then.

Are you still on the original clutch plates Gav? What are you going to replace, this is a job I have to do on the '93 currently sitting in the shed partly dismantled. From what I read the steels are usually ok, just the fibre plates need replacing and the actual large spring plate?

Great that you can make it Gav. I drink any beer that is free so any flavour is good! The route you are taking is a good one, some really good roads
out that way. Once you get to Tumbarumba, you can't take a bad road. That's some of my favourite riding country!
The clutch is a quick job, I think I may have a spare gasket if we happen to need one. Usually what happens, if you don't have a spare you will tear the gasket but if you have a spare you won't need it. Murphy's law.
Looking forward to seeing you again.

I sure am Ray. The clutch has never been touched.

I have ordered the six wide fibre discs with one narrow, a new Yamaha clutch spring, SS Clutch Line.
I already have a gasket and a new cover.

Hopefully Alan and maybe Troy might be able to ride down with me.

Can not wait.

Aaaahh yes, my other favourite bike weekend, I'm in. This is always my first post Winter ride through the Snowy's and over Kosciusko and this year should still have tons of snow at Charlotte Pass, can't wait.
I passed through Bermagui twice on the way to and from Troy's a few weeks back and I could just about smell the snags at Alf's.

FJ ownership has been creeping up in Bermi of late. If the same ratio of FJ's per head of population was applied to where I live, there would be 13,020 FJ's in my hometown.
This gives Bermagui the highest FJ ownership per capita (2.56/1000) of any postcode, township or city in the the country, possibly even the world.

Just to whet the appetite









These were all taken from the bike within 10 mins of or at Bermagui, God's own country...and the riding   :yahoo: :yahoo:

I make the same observation every year, what a great bunch of blokes the FJ brings together.

Alf, Gail and Pete put on a terrific weekend for us all, wouldn't miss it for quids.

Phil, if you want to wrench the title away from Bermagui you'd better get busy on eBay and BikeSales. According to the Bureau of Statistics, you'd need 8.9 FJ's to match them and another 0.1 of an FJ to beat them  :biggrin:

Noel, there are 6 Fj's in town, Greg has 2. You also need to take into consideration that 5 of the 6 in town are the best models made, red and white 1100's.
  Regards, Pete. :good2:
  Ps. Are you still an FJ owner Noel? Haven't seen your fine example for quite a while. Not too sure if you haven't crossed totally over to the dark side. (German Harleys)
