WoW !  You got Yamaha to donate a new FJ-09 still in the crate for some lucky rally attendee!!

I knew you were persuasive, but that is really very impressive.

Ray, unfortunately for me, an good for you, your crown as the polish King of the Southern Hemisphere will remain unchallenged, I have no hope of getting to the rally

Actually Noel, I am but the Grasshopper, hoping to learn from the Master, which is why I will sorely miss seeing you in Grafton. Thats a bugger, but I know real life does have a way of interfering with fantasy escapes on the FJs.  :drinks:

As far as cleanliness and shine goes, you really do have to wear sunnies when Flips arrives in town. That colour coordinated polished beauty of his really raises the bar to lofty heights  :good2:    What are you doing suspension wise Noel?

Hi all

Can't wait, only 3 sleeps to go. If anyone needs some accommodation (and budget is being streached) or just some where to put the bike out of public view for the night please let me know. My house is just a short Taxi ride (5 mins)from the Crown Hotel and I will have some spare floor space or you could pitch a tent in the back yard.

With that fully customised exhaust for additional road clearance in the twisties and deliberate removal of unnecessary heavy bits for better power to weight ratio ( and that fully sick street fighter look) this must be a wild ride indeed.
The shit stained woolen seat cover is a dead set give away... :shok:

I might as well admit defeat and leave my outclassed 86 under its cover in shame..... :flag_of_truce:

:crazy:

Cheers :drinks:

Stay rubber side down.

Fringe on the seat would compliment the look -

I think you need a coarser grade polish on the mufflers and a "high build" alloy polish on the crankshaft cover.

With the Rally only 3 weeks away thought I'd make some travel plans...

Those coming down from the north I was thinking of meeting up at Beaudesert Mcdonalds car park at around 9:30am on Friday morning. That would give us plenty of time for a leisurely jaunt down the Summerland Way and be at the bar with your favourite beverage in hand no later than 4 o'clock.


It was pointed out that I my have been a little excited with the time....
Lets make it 10:30am Queensland time  :i_am_so_happy:
