Greetings from Perth, Western Australia

[Sandgroper]

G'Day all.

I've been lurking a little while after buying ANOTHER FJ and having just found your awesome site.

A little history.....Had an 1100 about 15 years ago and absolutely loved the old girl ! Been getting around in a cage and various other bikes for a while after the ex made me sell the FJ... should have gotten rid of her when I could

Anyway, thought it was time for a new ride and after toying with the Honda ST1100 for a long time I have decided FJ is the only way to go.

Picked up a great condition '86 1TX 1200 for $1500 Aussie. What a buy !

I'm in love again !!!!

I've already fitted some serious lighting as I work nights and live in the outer suburbs where I see ALOT of kangaroos and other wildlife.

Currently in the middle of a carb clean, will be getting some parts(allen head screw kit, seals, jets) for this job from Randy @ RPM soon. Have to say this has already turned out to be a really satisfying job as I've always been terrified of carbs ! LOL

I'm sure I'll end up doing more but right now I just want the carbs back together so me and my new baby can get a little better acquainted.

You all seem a great bunch of blokes(and ladies) and have already given me a heap of great help and I thank everyone here for this resource of knowledge and for making this what I think may be the best forum on the net.

Bloody Hell!!! Another Red and White from the mystery FJ factory. Welcome to the secret world of Red Power Rangers. Or you could choose to be the White Ranger and be bloody hard to keep clean....  Er... Don't tell the Pink stripe FJs, they just get mad and promote the power of PINK...

Red and white all the way baby, but eventually I would like to upgrade to a pearled finish all over. Might have to work on the colours a bit. Touring mods too! A screen, risers, longer gearing etc...

I picked her up off Gumtree, it's served me well lately.

Thanx again everyone.

G'day Benno,  A few Aussies (Including me) seem to be joining up lately.

Great site, good people, heaps of info. It's got me started doing things to my bike that I wouldn't even think of doing before.

Gidday Benno, welcome to this great site. I'm up north of you in Karratha, hope to get EFFY1 down to Perth next summer, maybe catch up for a chin wag and some liquid refreshments.

Cheers, Dazza
