on the road and all legal,

[ken65]

the bike bike passed the roadworthy with no dramas, went to dept of t'port, no worries,
rode around for a 100 k or more, for some reason i kept going to on/off ramps so i could rejoin the highway and
legally justify going from 0 to a 110 as quick as i could, , the more you ride these bikes the more you fall in
love with them, what a magnificent bit of machinery,.,.

That's great Ken,
Another one of these on the road giving the owner a few surprises. Many more to come.

[ken65]

i think i will get myself a spare one soon, these bikes are 2 good just to have 1.

[mr blackstock]

hello,

Good to see another FJer on the road.  Seems to be heaps of you guys up north, bugger all down here in Vic, maybe even less in SA?

Keep an eye out for the semi-annual FJ rally... Apparently a real blast.

cheers, Gareth

I know exactly what you mean Ken.  Buuutt, I'm reminded we need a new fridge, cooktop, possibly hot water system first, uuurrrgghhhh!   
Trying to talk my brother into getting an FJ, he wants to get back into bikes, loves riding mine.

That's good news, be safe and remember which side of the road is the correct side..... Hope to see you there.

OK Ken, you've checked first gear out, how about the rest of them?

[ken65]

hehe, i checked out 2nd  upto redline yesterday,  would have done the licence if they caught me, my main problems going to be finding somewhere to have a play, as your've said previously they have taken the fun out of it.  But a little fun is better than no fun

[racerman_27410]

Zero to the speed limit can be fun..... but at some point you're gonna have to get somewhere you can turn her loose 

wide open third gear about 8K RPM =


KOokaloo!

[ken65]

i would love to , what sort of speed are looking at near redline in 3rd?

[racerman_27410]

Hmmm  LOL.... dont think i've ever looked at the speedometer while in third gear at redline.....shit is usually happening just a little too quickly for that kind of distraction but in deference to the question i would say fast enough to lose your license in most states and countries 


In real life terms i would say thats when the beauty shows her beast and you fall in love! 


KOokaloo!

Around the 160/170 kmh mark I reckon.
