It will be great to catch up Pete!

Fellas, I've had a huge let down on having the bikes repainted. There is a long queue of people ahead of me, THAT WEREN'T THERE BEFORE!!

So, instead of yelling (well, except in caps above), I've put all my shit bits on one of the 11's.

Just finished, it is dark, and the roos are just waiting for a foolish Troyskie to night ride, so I won't know if it is really rideable till tomorrow.

At worst, we'll sort it out on the shed day. From the way it ran (really rough), I think it will need some shims. If the PO didn't do the advance, I'll probably do that too. It could also use a good look at the carbies.

On the other hand, it might just need a good fang  :biggrin:.

At least this way I can have a bike to ride if I can get it sorted.

Bloody Hell Troy, it's hard work getting to your place in Winter.

I am now onto option #4, up the coast.  Even the Bonang Highway has a snow alert at the top end and rain is forcast for 3 of the 4 riding days there and back.

See you Friday.

   A great big thanks to Troy for putting on a great weekend and for putting up with us. Thanks also to all the FJer's that made the effort to attend and contribute to a memorable weekend. A few jobs got done to some FJ's, a small amount of alcohol consumed and some great conversations. It's always fantastic to catch up with fellow owners and talk about everything. The one thing, on a gathering like this that stands out to me, is that FJ talk is generally only a small percentage of the many and varied topics of conversation. Always entertaining, interesting and fun.
LONG LIVE FJ SHED DAYS!
  Regards, Pete.   :good2:   :drinks:

Sounds like a good time was had. Great to see some work was done on the bikes as well as solving with worlds issues.

Troy...It just took a rainy weekend for me to remove the left overs from the last rainy weekend we had (more than two months ago). I am aiming for a record. Longest time I can go without pulling the bike apart. Up to three months now. Strangely I havent felt the urge now that it seem to be running like new.

I have put a trip to a Troyski mens shed day on my bucket list.
