I've just named my FJ.......

[Anti-Dive Dave]

Ok, so most folk have names for their bikes.

And the FJ is no exception, as some folk like to call them sweet names....like "Effie" and other fluffy cute names.

So, staying with the female side of things, I have used the FJ letters to now call my bike:

"Fa-Jina"

Why?

Well, it's pronounced as in "Vagina", it's because:

a) it's an ugly bloody thing to look at, until you get to ride it.

b) I have the same exhausted look on my face after I climb off from a long ride (the bike that is), and I walk rather strange due to cramp in the legs, from going too long without taking a rest. (erm, yes the bike again)

c) the handling is "rather slippery when wet".  But grip can be provided with the use of decent rubbers.  (erm...no comment)

Sooooo , does she kick and buck if you tell her you have ridden another bike, , I'm trying to get effie to mate with my.89 boy Fj , and make little Fj,s , so far all they do is poke fun at each other  ,, 

[Anti-Dive Dave]

Nope, She IS incontinent though and has an oil bladder weakness.  She leaks everytime I go for a ride.  Cannot trace the leak at all.

But it covers my back tyre, and even gets onto the numberplate (the REFLECTIVE side!)

I've replaced seals, gaskets, o-rings, tightened everything I can see and she STILL pisses oil everywhere.

I will have a word with her in the morning and see if she wants a session with your boy bike.

But bear in mind, she's an old girl.  She's been round the block many times, and has been ridden my many people.

She's the mechanical version of the Army camp prostitute  Named the "camp bicycle", as everyone has had a shot.

But, despite her age, like many an older woman whos "been about for a bit", she can still make you smile like it's your first time, and leave you wanting more.


If I could teach her to fire ping pong balls out of her silencers, I'd be a man in heaven!

[fj11.5]

Now that's a nasty leak,, wouldn't be her oil breather from the crank ,, she have air pads fitted on carbs, or the oem plastic nappy/ diaper box   .. or is that air pods it or air box ?? , , nothing wrong with her being a dirty tramp, they know all the best tricks, , seeing as she,s Asian I thought the ping pong trick is in,built

Ok, this is getting weird now...

[fj11.5]

Must be weird if a kiwi says so  ,, k1 w1 fat arse chook 

[Mark Olson]

mine is called "the mistress"  .

yes ,she gets along with the wife and sometimes go shopping together.

[DoD#663]

Oh yeah. I call my FJ "Bike".

[Anti-Dive Dave]

Bike?  Just... Bike?  No first name?  Not even a "Mrs" Bike? Awww. Seems a bit formal to me?  Did you have a falling out at one point?

You do know that you can get an extra 4mpg AND 22 hours extra bulb life in the tail-light end if you call it something more user friendly?

By calling it "bike", she can't be separated into her own class, and just comes under every other "bike".

GSXR.....CBR1000.....Harley.....Honda Superdream......Honda C90...... they are all just bikes.

Nah....Christen her I say!  If only to do it secretly and never actually mention it out loud (when your out for a spin, you can utter her name, pat the tank and say "good girl" for getting you out of that awkward situation).

Then, mysteriously, the next time you go to gas up, you'll find that you need less to top up than last time.  Don't be mistaken! - It's  NOT 'cos the gas station lowered their prices....thats just a coincidence.  It's the bike I tell ya.....cos you named it and used it!

No?   Oh. I shall get my hat then......

I think on that note with all the issues I'm getting with my FJ atm I should be calling mine 'bike' at the very least. But, I think I'll probably settle for F***ing bike!! 

[Anti-Dive Dave]

F***ing bike!!

Would that be Mr or Mrs F***ing bike?

But, as it's an FJ, and not performing as she should...maybe you could use the FJ part and call her F***ing Junk?

Look it straight in the headlight...hold up an oxy acet torch (lit) and threaten it with the scrap yard, or worse still....a chopper project. 

If you go to eBay and buy 2 fetish ball-gags, you can put one in each silencer.  Get yer leathers on, and walk round her in the garage.  Round and round...saying nothing.  Just have a big hammer in your hand and threaten to use it if she don't do as she's told.

Go on....become an FJ Master................Spank the Tank!

Fast Jenny is the name of my bike...

She's a real sweetheart... And so is my wife....




And this made her so much more managable. A new Penske shock. My early Christmas gift.



Now you know why my wife looks so happy.

"Brutus"

Named by the chap who built the engine for me...  VERY appropriate!! 





KOokaloo!

[axiom-r]

NICE CRAIGO!!     You are gonna love that shock dude!   

Couple of very nice looking ladies there bud...

[craigo]

Yes, the shock is the shizts!!! I bought it from Ed Sorbo over at Lindemann Engineering.

http://www.le-suspension.com - Thanks Pat for the link 

He has been very helpful in setting it up. I got back from just 120 miles out 94 to Campo, Buckmans Springs to Old 8 through Guatay down Japitul Valley and home. Set the shock all the way to 12, rode it about a mile, way too stiff. Bumped it down to 5 and it was just fantastic. It's great when the envelope gets huge. Really, no more rear end dive in the corners with the acompanying head shake. In fact, it feels like the shock is actually pushing the rear back when I come out of the corners offering up a pile more drive. Corner speeds up easily 10-15mph and no drama. And the additional ride hight made it so I don't bevel off my boots. Best $$$ I have spent on the bike so far.

Now all I need is your front end and maybe an engine like Brutus and the bike will kill all the R1s in the county. Teach them to laugh at my 23 year old bike...

Hey, Merry Christmas all. Hope your holiday is bright and joyful.
