G;Day from Downunder

[Brian]

  Thought i better take the advice & say Hello & thanks for your comments re the  starting issue .
I'm 52 yrs young ,with wife n' 2 sons.  We  live near the foot of the Blue Mountains in NSW, love riding n' fishing . The 84 FJ is my 6th Bike and quickly becoming my favorite  & for its age {140,000 klms} she goes n' handles really well . Ive put her in the shop now to work those issues & rattles out cant wait to get  back on her & see what shes like , ill get some photos on site shortly but she needs paint which ill do later on thru winter , Hoo-roo for now
Are there many Aussies in the club ?

   G'day and welcome, Brian. You've come to the best place to ask questions and learn more about the FJ than anywhere else possible. There are lots of blokes here with tons of knowledge and experience, that will help you through any problem and help you source, any and every part that you will ever need to fix or modify your bike. Not too sure how many other Aussie members there are, except to say that there are quite a few.  Regards, Pete.

Welcome here Brian.
Doug (The General) has been keeping a count of Aussies - from memory there are around 45 members in the group from Aus.
A rally is planned for Feb 11th and 12th 2012, heading for Kenilworth in SE Qld...... I believe there are a couple of members heading up from Sydney...... think about joining them!
Check out the "Topics Downunder" section.

Cheers
Harvy

Lots of Aussies around these parts i'm sure they will perk up sooner or later.

Hi there and welcome!

I've been a member here for around 12 months and have found the goodwill and technical assistance in the forum to be really great. One thing I have noticed in paticular is how welcoming most people are and even if your a mechanical novice other members are patient and very helpful.

Regards

Mark

Hey Brian,

Welcome to the site. I am somewhat a newbie too. Never posted anything yet, but just got info. I couldn't help notice where you reside. I too live at the foot of the Blue Mountains and ride a 91' FJ1200.

May see you around.

Dave.
