Dude, do you know what my wife would do to me if I had 3 FJ's? You are my hero :good:

Mate 3 is not the problem, it's the extras she is concerned about, but she does love em too, she has excellent taste, she picked me  :mocking:

Mate you will get sic of my pics  :empathy:

You see em on here & FJR site  :blush:

The FJR doesn't get much use, about 4 rides a year & only 2 leave the city limits  :blush:

By the time I try & do the Vintage Japanese club rides on the RD 250 & YL2 100, doesn't leave much time for the 1100 & 1300,  :cray:

Then soon hopefully I will have the Z1300 kwaka & one of the FJ1200's registered, I'll have to draw the keys out of a hat  :unknown:

Megsy,

How many of that collection are registered? 
Must cost you a fortune if they all are, especially with the NSW annual roadworthy check added on.

My second bike is not only the same make, model and colour, but by some amazing stroke of luck it even has the same rego number!

Sadly they look good in the pics, but the 2nd 1100 is a parts bike, & the grey 1200 I just bought will probably end up the same way :cray:

The first 1100 is on full rego as is my FJR 1300, the RD 250 & YL2 100 are on vintage rego.

The 2 red & white 12's are still in project stage, 1 has 32,000 km's it will be made the show bike, the 1100 & 1200 should complement each other side by side :good2:

The other 12 I want to make a  ride bike, that was the main reason for getting the latter grey bike, to get the 17" wheel & bigger brakes, I have the 17 rear
& swing arm ready to go.

Just need time :cray:

(oh & one day the 11 & 12 may have the same number plate & side covers with 1100 on them)

FJZ1 1200 - It'll do me just fine.
Timing has much to do with the success of a rain dance.

FFS, come on fellas. I'm going to get a complex. Oh well, I'd better start planning to pull the engine to clean and paint, dip the headers, re-powdercoat the rims, order some go faster shiny bits from Randy, ummm, I'll think of more.  :wacko2:

No sorry to say there was a fluck up with the first import permit for the GA3. It was issued as a "non transport equipment", which meant once in Aus it couldn't be registered for the road.

Cut along story short I know have all three import permits issued under the pre 1989 scheme. So can be registered.

It was a real drama dealing with with "Dept of Infrastucture and Transport". They are painfully SLOW, won't reply to emails, and three people on the help desk....(when you can get through) all told me a different story... :dash2:..

Yeah, so lets see what AQIS can do when they get here... :shok:..can't wait. Although I have had them proffessonally cleaned. Here's hoping :dance2:

So still six to eight weeks away depending how fast/slow Allied Pickford the movers are.

Cheers Timbo...will keep ya posted.
