Those wogs know how ta ride me thinks. I cant stop watching this enthralling ride in Columbia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBjlGsq_sf8&feature=em-share_video_user

Did anyone else see the square guttered corner followed by a speed hump and a Pole! (around 2.56)
The only hole shot is about 2 foot wide between the RH end of the speed hump and the continuing  squared off, head smashing gutter!..... which lines you up perfectly to hit the pole.

Fortunately the Mafia Workplace Health & Safety guys were obviously alerted and put a tyre at the base of the pole (about a foot below handlebar height).

The camera rider tries using the hump to overtake at one stage, but alas the gutter holeshot is best line.



Me thinks I might need some RPM suspension bits for the Grafton Rally! (gulp) (along with my patented coffee shots for ammo!) Heeeehehe

IOM eat ya heart out

whateva those things are that theyre riding, the little 2 dakers are tuned like gp 125's, they fan the clutch like it as well.

top vid, very entertaining :yahoo:

say, this rally sounds like it might be just a couple weeks after world supers at PI, that could be convenient :dance:

Hi All. I am new to the FJ scene (and this forum) and have purchased 2 FJ1100's as project bikes. I have started a ground up rebuild on the first bike. After reading this post i now have inspiration to get moving with the rebuild as i now have 4 months to compete it before the FJ's start rolling into my home town (Grafton) for the FJ Rally. Looking forward to showing off my work and getting some handy tips and meeting new friends.

Doug, have any of the guys from the Ducati club been in contact with you re attending? Reading the story suggests that there may be attendees...... one can only hope!

Yeah mate, they`ll be there!

I`ve been work`n on some ammo ta keep them strokers in check. I reckon tha water pistols I`ve been testing simply ain`t good enough, so I practised with those pink balloons on last week`s Breast cancer ride. If ya keep the water content minimised, my accuracy greatly improved......Stage 3 of my research is on the content. (thinking of using recycled liquid due to my commitment to the environment!)  :diablo:

   For anyone heading to the Grafton Rally, planning on heading up north from Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania or Western Australia
and need a great stop-over location, you are more than welcome to stay at Bermagui. We have at least 6 spare beds for anyone that
may need a place to sleep and eat.
  Alf (ZRX1200) Pete ('88 FJ) and myself are planning on leaving for Grafton on Thursday 12th March. Any of you are more than welcome to join us for the ride. We travel at higher than posted limits but nothing silly. We try not to take major roads, so the ride is always interesting, with small towns and scenic countryside our goal.
  Times getting away, it won't be long 'til have a beer together. Can't wait.  Regards, Pete.   :drinks:
