The time has come for Julie and myself to find the time to make a visit to the US of A and as such, as we are FJers, to attend one of your 2018 FJ Rallies.
Planning is in its infancy and dates not set as we will need to know when the rallies are but as said we are coming to America.

We hope to spend around 4 weeks exploring your southern states or more.

So take warning WE are coming.. :wacko1:

You are most welcome. We hope you can get to Calif on your trip. Bring your riding gear, we will find a FJ for you to ride. The 2018 WCR has always been held the weekend following Memorial Day so it's tentively set for the first weekend in June, location yet to be determined.

Many FJ forum members in the US will welcome you and Julie with open arms.

I am going to attend the East Coast Spring Rally in Boone, NC in May, and the Central Rally in Marble Falls, AR. August of 2018 I have a spare FJ1200 that can be brought along for you and Julie to ride on.

If you make it to SoCal we can make an event of it.

The Boone North Carolina rally is always the week leading up to and including the third weekend of May.  The Fall rally is the same but in the month of September...location for the fall rally has changed somewhat but is centered in the area of the "Dragon".  With a little notice extra bikes are usually available.  Always put the welcome mat out for the folks down under....come to think of it, what are we?  Up over?  :unknown:

Don't forget to tell the US FJ brothers about our dangerous dropbears
First major bike in my life was a Mach III widow maker.
My Second permanent bike 1978 Z1R (owned since Dec 1977)
My Third permanent bike is the 89 FJ12 - nice and fast
Forth bike 89 FJ12 my totally standard workhorse
81 GPZ1100 hybrid - what a bike, built to sell but I can't part with it

Is it like the others and the sheep need to get locked up?

Thanks for the offers and such. Not sure yet of our itinerary but most likely fly into San Francisco and have a look around the south west corner. I'm not one to plan every detail so will most likely just plan on the run. Looking forward to meeting and putting faces to forum members.

Cheers
