Hi All ....""BUGGER"".. After booking my accommodation , getting my own FJ  "ESK"  Tee Shirt printed up and then fitting some  HWY  Pegs onto my FJ .. I can not attend this years FJ Rally at ESK ,due to getting Blood Clots in both Lungs on a flight back from Hawaii 2 weeks ago on the 4th feb. Spent 2 days in Hospital ,The Doc says I am to do nothing for at least a month and that includes riding the FJ, I tried real hard to twist his arm ,but because of the Blood thinners I am on ,Just getting bruised could be a problem,, Any way I am sure you will all have a great time
,,,, Ride Safe ,,,,
PS I have attached a few Photos of the HWY Foot Pegs that I fitted ,,
I was looking to fit  some thing that would ,
1  ---  protect the Engine covers ,
2  ---  Fit extra spot lights on
3  --- HWY Pegs ,to change Leg position on long Rides
These are  XJR1300  99-01   Rear Exhaust Hangers,They  work a treat as HWY Pegs .They flick in and out as needed and look Factory .
I have done all the FJ  Mods ,,F and B Wheels ,Brakes and Lines ,etc etc  but love have these Pegs fitted ,
  have a great time all , and all going well see you at the 2018 Aussie Rally ,
regards Phil  from Sussex AU

That's not good news Phil, I hope you had a really Great time in Hawaii mate.
How are you feeling now? Are the clots all cleared? and blood thinners are just precautionary?
You just have to take it easy for awhile.
Your bike looks good, plenty of mods on there.

I know what you mean about the thinners and bruising, they appear out of nowhere and usually big squishy ones like there is a pool of blood underneath, not a good feeling. I've been on 2 since last August and No riding. Hoping to get off 1 soon and back in the saddle.
At least I don't have to worry about Mozzie bites, as soon as they stick gob in me they get blown straight off.
I've been to get CT scan once on my scone after giving it a good whack and a bit of claret flowing.

Maybe we'll have to organise a ride before the 2018 ràlly just to test the Pegs out

Hi Alan ,,Yes had a great 8 days in Hawaii . Really nice people everywhere we went . Pearl Harbour was well set up and a very nice place to pay ones respects to the great USA .
I was a bit trapped in the middle seat on the 9.5 hour return flight ,so I did not get to go for a walk to keep the Blood flowing ,Its the old (I will be right syndrome).
Landed back on 4th ,felt RS but not real bad until 13th  went to Doc because of spinning out a bit, then  next day I was in big pain in R Side of chest ,I finally gave in on the 15th and went to Hospital at 4 am  .Stayed in for 2 days ,,I had every test possible and they found that I had Bad Blood clots on both Lungs ,The Right side was a bit worse that left,
The Clots will be in my Lungs for around  3 to 6 months the Doc says,,,Treatment is these new Blood thinning tabs,  2 tab's a day ,,plus lots of  pain killers,
Doctor gave me a month off from the 15th Feb to 15 march ,Told me I was to do nothing ,,After that  I would have more tests and I could be off work for another month depending on the test results,
The main problem is  being on the Blood thinning Tab's is the worry for me..,if I was to cut or bang myself around ,I could be in big trouble with internal Bleeding etc,,
The Doc said I would be on the Blood thinners for the rest of my life, But I will be fighting him over that call ,I was 100 fine before the flight,
So once clots are sorted ,I will ask him about stopping the Thinning Tab's.
At the moment I am feeling pretty good really,  Just get short on breath if I try anything other than walking .But most of the pain has settled down,, "Touch Wood"
I am 58 and work 4 myself  "Lic Carpenter" ,So I need to be back to 100% before getting back on the Job or I will be asking 4 trouble.
Yes I will be in anytime for a Ride or a chat  this year once I get over this . I see that  ""Jools"" is having a FJ shed day  in a few months time , I will see if I can make that if possible ,
Next time I am around your way on my Bike ,I am more than happy to call in and or we could arrange a short ride or to met for lunch around the Gong area some time,,  I am easy .
Thanks for your contact ,cheers Phil

That sounds Good Phil,

Good to see the Pain has settled down,
You take it easy now, I know its hard too but it'll fly by.  :yes:
Yeh, Xarelto Blood Thinners aren't the best, I'm always having to fix a nick up that won't stop bleeding and Drs say NO getting up ladders just in case you fall,   Mate half my life is up a ladder being a Sparky, I've got the dents in the shins from the rungs most days.(don't tell my Missus) and I'm always hanging out for the Missus to go up shopping for awhile so I can do something around the house like get on the roof and clean gutters etc

After my last heart procedure I could get comfortable to sit sleep or anything for 3 days due to chest pain, so on pain killers to settle it down every 4 hours, seemed an eternity but thats over now (cannot wait for the next round)

It would be good for a chat and to get some first hand tips on F&R wheel conversions from a Pro
and WHERE do you find all those Rims.  :dash2:

Weathers cooling down a bit which is good for riding, hopefully it'll be soon.


Cheers Alan
