I truly understand Kev. There`s not a member here that would not put there family first. Appreciate your PM and I know there will be opportunities next year,
- The 30th Anniversary of the FJ.-- when again you will be more than welcome.       Doug

[megsy]

Thats a bummer mate, look forward to meeting you next year.

On a happier note 
30 year rego

In my state that means the rego will go from around $700.00 a year to $50.00 a year for Vintage conditional rego 

I only ride me FJ100 around 3 times a year having 5 registered bikes,
instead of $250.00 a ride it will be $15.00 a ride
And one of the FJ1200's I have is a 12/85, I thought the 1200's didn't start till 1986 so it will come on cheap rego a year earlier than expected as
the Roads & traffic only count the year not the month of build

[flips]

Yeah CanDman.That is a bummer! 
Maybe next time.

And one of the FJ1200's I have is a 12/85, I thought the 1200's didn't start till 1986

Jeff, Flips, Megsy,

Seems like you're trying to argue about calendar year vs model year.
Australia classifies a motor vehicle based on the BUILD month and year
In many other countries the designation is MODEL year. 
US cars built in September are usually the next year's model.
My neighbor had a '91 model year FJ1200b (pink stripe, rubber mounted engine, Blue & White color, steel swingarm) that was classed as a '90 on his title.  The serial no. was ......0001
