Re: Vibranators, I have a pair on my FJ 1990, basically what it did is shift the vibration around, previously my scooter had vibration around 110kph to 120, but it was smooth around town, now its slightly rough around 80/90 kph and vvvvery smooth at 120kph and above. I tried to get them for my Z1R but they don't seem to be interested in selling any (I contacted them twice - email and no replies)

You just let me know what year Z1R and I will get them for you if they are available.

Doug,

I was just asked by a new member from Qld, "Will there be tent sites for the poor people".
I told him to ask you, the font of all AuFJRally wisdom.  Thinking about it though, I'd guess that others may also be interested in the answer.

Cheers,
Arnie

To be honest can't answer this question rooms can be shared to reduce the cost , there is a pretty good pub in town that is reasonably cheap, I'll call the motel and see about camping in the area, I would be surprised if there was nothing available, hope this helps somewhat.

Hi Baldy.
That was me asking about camping. When I heard about the rally I had in my mind the events I used to go to when I was a little younger. You know - a paddock miles from anywhere, rock bands till 4 am, titty girls, open bar, crashing out next to the bike cause you didnt get the tent up when u first arrived and waking up freezing, hung over and covered in dew. I didnt realise this was a 5 star turn out but I promise to behave if I make it. I actually prefer to camp and I dont think I would make any friends with my snoring if I stayed in a cabin. Looking foward to it if I can get the bike on the road by then.
Cheers
Stu

Hey Stu, Ya not the only one by a long way. In fact i prefer cabins or tents. But nuthin like a bit of class now & then, especially with pillions that have butts of steel. There`s plenty of pubs I continue to camp at. One of my favourites is owned by the King family and has an observatory out the back. (Nahh, I don`t mean a hole in tha pub shower wall). We tent there in winter at least once a year when they roast a pig on tha footpath and the local darts club hires some music.....Oh yeah ...am I light on me feet when it`s thumpin and tha fire`s a raging. And and and ..... all those country girls know us old blokes are very safe.  Hehehe
(with tha speed ya answered my last riddle - i bet ya know the name of the pub?)

`bout ta fire up the DR to clear out tha cobwebs, now I`ve finished work after a tuff year. ...Kenilworth-Imbil here I come.... 

[FJSpringy]

It's only 5 star, that sucks real bad, Doug you never said we were slumming it 

[stua1959]

Hey Doug
I have no idea what the name of the pub is. Would it be something to do with the Imbil rally

Yea! got ya... It`s the Maiden Well pub at the base of the Bunya Mountains. It`s got a double fire place and an Astonomy type observatory at the back. Fantastic pub. (around the corner from Cooyar falls) Ta give you an idea of the culture - one Sat`dy night when the pub was jumpin (...well at least i was) I noticed two or three young ladies (say early twenties) in their dressing gowns and slippers. I asked `em what the story was and they looked at me like (wtf) strange. - each one had a different story but generally it was "well I only live down tha road and i knew Aunty Ethel would be at the pub - so thought I`d say good nite - before i went ta bed" then they give me a look that said "Durrhhhh!"   ..... I love Country innocense...i love country people!   Camped in zero degrees when I was there last - here`s a pic.
