Australian FJ Rally 9th March 2013

[Arnie]

Mark,

My intention is/was to book Bellingen for Friday & Saturday nights.  Start the run back home on Sunday, but I'm open to persuasion.
Happy to go over your bike with you before.  I might even have some bits that would improve your suspension kicking around.  I'm also not fussed about riding with other brand/style/type bikes unless they require fuel stops every 100kms or attract lots of constabulary attention.

Arnie

Hey Arnie

I'm pretty hopeful the FJ will be ok my main problem is time! Apart from tired suspension  most of the stuff I need to do is minor and preventative type maintenance which I can do ok over a couple of weekends. Although I wouldnt mind a fellow FJer taking a look at my bike and giving an opinion. Perhaps us southern FJers should catch up asap. I'm assuming also the plan for the rally is for us riding up from Vic is to arrive at Bellingen on the friday night?

Looks like there`s a number wantin to join the Rally from Overseas. The committee is a little flumoxed.

- One of tha applicants even wants ta bring the whole flamin family - when I was really only invit`n his Missus. So ta be fair all recent applicants have ta pass the following test before being considered.

11 out of 25, not even 50%  , I will let my Aussie wife take a crack at it. See how she does after 40+ years away from the homeland.

That's what I am missing, first hand experience and a few tins of XXXX or VB for starters  .

I am working on the Waltzing Matilda, but I get kicked out of the house, I thought she liked that song. I'll bet my accent is off....
