Welcome Macca, you are in good hands with the strong Aussie team we have here.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

G'day and Welcome macca1963

Good to see you found 1 finally.

Love to go for a midweek ride BUT I'm in Sydney.
Do you think you'll have it ready for a run in March to the Annual Rally in NSW?
Maybe that could be a test ride before the VJMC Annual Rally at the Gold Coast in May?

G'day Macca,

Two of my bikes came from Adelaide! They're full of red dust in hard to reach places, so must have been out of town a bit.

Like Al, I'm over east as well, but there are a few FJ brothers in the City of Churches.

Welcome Macca. I know there are a few South Aussie guys about. Some of them got together a few weeks ago for a ride. If you do the Fakebook them, they are on there. Would be nice to see you at a rally, but no pressure.
