Here's my challenge: Zea's 600Fazer illuminates the left headlight only on low beam (H7 bulb). The right headlight in an H4 bulb (same as FJR - managed ot get FJR mentioned :rolleyes: ) but the low beam is not used at all. On high beam the left headlight stays on, and the high beam on the...

Anyone recognise this rider? The piccie was taken on the move in September '09 when we were headed from Santa Barbara to Carmel, California, while we were on a 3-week tour of the USA. We were on a black FJR (2-up, loaded for touring) in the company of friends on a ST1300. I tried to get...

Great bit of video:

Recently on our 3-week tour of SW USA I had the misfortune to need a new rear tyre. Punctured in Kanab UT (you can read about it here: https://www.fjrowners.ws/phpbb2/viewtopic.p...sc&start=45 ). After repairing the flat 3 times between Kanab and Washington (St George) UT, we arrived at Pro...

For the second MotoGP in a row we had the riders facing changing weather, and having to judge when to come in to swap bikes. I thought it was a great race - interest all through the field. These guys have incredible skills (and the last 2 laps of the 250 race is a 'must watch'). Casey Stoner...

Casey Stoner clinched his 7th pole in a row with a last-lap effort, relegating Rossi to 2nd: https://www.motogp.com/en/news/2008/Stoner+...e+pole+position Hopefully this translates to anothert epic battle, with no offs. BTW, Stoner is riding with a brace and bandaged wrist to protect a...

We have just returned from a fantastic 3 week trip to Canada to visit our son and DiL who are working in Banff for the next few months. We received some advice from RocketDoc which was extremely helpful and not fully heeded :wink: (John, sorry we didn't get accross to Victoria - the schedule...

The venue is found, the ride options are organised, and the date is set for the 5th annual State of Origin get together. The Founding Fathers, Phil and Dave, did their scouting ride in the rain, and crossed Kyogle off the list as the accomodation and eating options are just not up to our...

I have received a PM from someone asking for details of my screen, so I thought I'd post here for all to see. It is an Australian made 'Eagle Screen' https://www.eaglescreens.com.au/. It is 470mm (18.5in) top to bottom (18.5in), 550mm (21.5in) wide at the bottom and 415mm (16in) wide at the...

After the summer break the show started again with business as usual - Stoner fastest in alkl practice sessions bar one, and on pole. Great to see Hopkins and Edwards qualifying well. So how do you think the race went? Someone had their best result of the season, someone made many happy, and...

I was reading in another thread of sharing pictures of rides, etc, so I thought I'd post links to a few videos I've made recently. Ain't No Second Prize - 2 FJR's playing around one Saturday morning. The FJR behind me and in front of me in the PiP shots is actually the same bike filmed on...

Reported in the 6 oclock news here tonight on Channel 0410E - "bikers who indulge in sex with their partners on the night before a ride will travel and behave in a much safer and subdued manner than those who did not participate in said night before activities... and will return safely the next...

you like good racing. If you do, try and catch the 250 race as well :clapping:

There are so many discussions these days on whether we should/should not use synthetic oils in bikes, that I thought I would just clarify the position for all: Beware of synthetic oil, it can do terrible things to you and your beloved motorcycle. It will not only leak out of your engine faster...
