    Thanks to Forum, from member in Oz

    Never thought of that ? Just got back from the car racing at Philip Island and noticed the bike was biased to the right when braking - must be that coriolis (?) effect from the hydration unit. Damn! Should have ordered the Southern Hemisphere model from Gary. Some pics of my bike have been...

    Thanks to Forum, from member in Oz

    Thanks to the Forum for some great help recently given to me down here in Oz! Just received, fitted, and test-flown my new Hydration unit - what a nice piece of design and engineering - going to be great on those long rides (I keep missing out on) with FarRiders (Oz Iron Butt). Such quick and...

    Garauld Refreshment System

    That looks great! Just got back in range (been delivering a ship from Singapore to Australia, so have been out of touch - which has been rather nice actually !) I would like to order a silver clamp model complete with everything. I can pay by PayPal if that's OK. And can you arrange postage to...

    on forwarding help request

    Thanks for the info, I hadn't thought of that - I thought it was only Austrailian politicians who made simple things difficult! (now that's funny when an Oztrailian can't spell Australia !! )

    on forwarding help request

    Need some help! I’d like to buy a new Nolan N104 helmet in the US and have it posted back to Australia (yes, I know it won’t have the correct Australian approval stickers). I can arrange all payments (by PayPal?) and am not asking anyone to have to pay out of their pocket for anything. But I...

    Spot 2 vs Spot Connect

    I upgraded to the Spot Connect, tried my best and gave up after a month. Too cumbersome and quirky. Re-assigned my original Spot 2 and sold the Connect on eBay. Copped a small loss, but a lot happier now! I don't think it's worth the trouble, Rob

    Has anyone tried these lowering links

    Don't wish to be a wet blanket with this one, but I haven't had a great deal of joy with the adjustable lowering links. When I wound the height down I found that the handling was quite different (as in BAD!) and subsequently wound it back up to normal height. I concede that I didn't go about...

    Whats it worth?

    Did a quick search here in Oztralia and found four 2004 FJR's for sale at A$13,000 - 14,000. You should ship it over here ($1,000) have a ride around (all year availability) and then sell it cheap ( to me!) Win/win situation! Rob

    Tachyon xc micro helmet camera

    JamesK, what is that picture, some sort of circular roadway? Hard to figure it out! Rob

    Tachyon xc micro helmet camera

    Yep, agree. Top mount or side mount, or bike mount?

    Tachyon xc micro helmet camera

    Just bought a tachyon helmet camera and can't decide whether to 'top' or 'side' mount it on my helmet. Any experience? Any advice? Need to video Oprah while she's down here in Oz (joking!)

    FJR admirer in country OZ

    It's a King parrot, and my kids named him 'Lightning'. Trouble is, that was 15 years ago! But i'm told it's most likely the same one comes back every season. There's a couple of younger ones which are differently colored. Pretty spectacular. We did feed them for a while but the cockatoos took...
