Hello Joe, yea, to what Mark said.....Plus, don't go for progressive rate front springs. Go with straight rate springs, better yet, wait to see what Randy comes up with for spring rates with his new fork valves.
For the rear, a stiff sprung Penske sport shock is what you want.

As a FJ forum moderator, I would like to apologize for those fucking rude comments. It is no way to treat our new members. The forum rules allow free discussion but I personally cringe when some big galoot tells me to go on a diet.
As you see, many of us have known each other for over a decade, and we have no trouble telling each other to fuck off....However rude we treat each other, that's no biggie, but to do that to a new guy is just wrong.

Think of it like sitting around a camp fire, you may think it all you want, but if it comes out of your mouth, to someone you don't know, you stand a high probability of getting your dick dumped in the dirt....

Not that I always live this rule. 

But never tell a stranger anything that might get your ass knocked off a bar stool.

Welcome.

An above average person?
No,you're morbidly obese.
As far as respect for others go, you don't even have respect for yourself as evidenced by your weight.
Manners & class?
Go stuff yourself some more at the buffet, that's classy
Just what a great fat cunt weighing 350 or more pounds can bring to performance motorcycle riding is a mystery.
So fuck off fat boy, there's nothing I post on this forum that I wouldn't say to you or anyone face to face.

Come back and post pics when you are down to 240 lbs.

This is where I remembered why every time I've been to Australia on business I couldn't wait to leave.  Not to say everyone there is like this (not by a long shot), but even including going to your average sports event in Philadelphia I have never been witness to more idiots saying asinine things than I have on numerous occasions in Australia.  Sometimes it felt like a douchebag convention.

But perhaps I'm wrong.  Maybe Oz is the first nation to successfully clone a human in large numbers.  And Klavdy was their first go at it.

I am curious big guy, how many douchebag conventions have you experienced with your tactile senses? Just curious. I understand maybe being in ear shot of the douche bag convention or perhaps smelling a douche bag convention. But, I am not sure how you feel a douchbag convention. I mean did you go to the douchbag convention and you reach out and grab a douchebag or two, or roll around on a stack of douchbags, fill us in.

Now the besmeerching of the entire population of Australia, claiming that every Aussie feels like a douchbag convention. That seems a little over the top. I would encourage you to simply keep it personal, as it is Klavady who is making you sense a douchbag convention feeling. Take it easy on the innocent population of Australia as I presume you would agree that most of them would feel like a normal human being instead of a douchebag.

Me, never had my body come in contact with a douchebag convention. But the whole douchbag convention metaphor does link in well with the entire cunt metaphor. Sorry, but time to throw a douchebag on the barbie, gotta run.

Oh, try not to take this too personal as this site can be a bit too much at times.

Yeah we`re a bit sensitive and need a hug, blah blah.......  but Shit this site is educational. Am I the only bloke that never heard of the term "Douchebag"?. (am I the only Aussie that googled it?).   I even checked out "besmeerching".

Most of us find it easier to use single syllable words like "off" or "fuck" or in a real besmeerching moments – "C_nt", (though never thought a barbie would improve them!). You can use them singularly (preferably with 3 seconds of silence both sides), or in any combination, to impart what ya mean. - and if really classy, but lingually limited like me, ya can use them as Nouns or Verbs - present or past tense, to hone your point of view.- geez, this week I dug deep with Shakespeare and  "Molongo Cricket" but I bet you guys didn`t even notice, let alone had ta google `em.
Aussies, like "Barry Humphries" make money out of it (hate him, but I love his Dame) - yes he`s exceptional,  – but we`re all different.  - feel us for yaself, March 16th 2013.

Don't get too wound up.  Klav is a troll, and nothing more special.  Read through some of his posts, and you'll understand.  He's made a couple of friends that will protect him from all evil, because any sane grouping would have flat banned him ages ago.  The consistent theme in his posts is that they're typically offensive, and really bring nothing useful to the forum.

And please don't consider him a typical sample of the Aus population... Or, if that is typical, do remember that there are some decent folks living surrounded by assholes down there.

Yes.

Don't read too much into posts by people with high post counts or inflated opinions of their worth.
Andy likes to think of himself as a pedagogue when he's really just a blowhard looking for validation.
Read through some of his posts where he drones on and on,pontificating and holding forth in the most humourless and excruciating detail.
Wonder when we'll see him at a Rally?
He can hold all enthralled there too, grace us with his sweeping insights into the arcana of FJ lore.

Please don't consider him the typical sample of the American male, he's most definitely not.
Not all Americans get butt hurt over comments on internet forums, just the ones with an entitlement complex.

...how many douchebag conventions have you experienced?

I rode up to Daytona Beach for bike week a couple of times. Does that count? Seems to be the Granddaddy of Douchebag Conventions.

Took the FJ of course. All the Hardleys look the same anymore.

Seems that probably counts although I have no personal experience.

The relevant question, did you feel the Daytona Beach douchebags ?

[fj11.5]

are you from qld or Darwin klavdy , glad. your feeling better, although not douchbag better as I've never felt one , but seen plenty around , usually in groups on two wheeled tractors 

[racerman_27410]

Having gone thru it just a couple of months ago..... i think Klavdy may be suffering from nicotine withdrawal..... for about 3 weeks i could have bitten 16 penny nails in half..... i had to stay in the house alone cause the least little thing could and did set me off.


not trying to say the K man aint without faults (and opinions ) but i aint gonna cast no stones against someone saying what they think.   Its our right as human beings to be honest with each other.... after all its only opinion.



KOokaloo!

Thank you Frank,
You're a pal and have provided a most insightful comment.
I have been behaving dreadfully, quite unlike my usual tolerant and enlightened self.
You may be correct in saying that I might be suffering from drug withdrawals.
Giving up nicotine & oxy contin cold turkey may have unwanted side effects.
But then again, it's more than likely that I'm just a douchebag.
