I’m in Australia so you’ll see me posting at the wrong end of the day due to time zone differences. Unless I’m on night shifts and it’s quiet.

Nice to have a new member and like the concept you run of back to basics, carbs, no fancy electronics etc with the FJ. I have fond memories of using a choke and reserve tap (nah, not really )

I feel vaguely envious of you living out there after hearing our daughter's tales, she backpacked both the east and west coasts, took about 2,5 yrs over it and ended up in margaret river picking grapes/working in seaside restuarants/bars.

on basics, my friend, motorbike andy who lives in suffolk uk, bought a new kwak 650 (?) twin ninja that complies with the latest (euro 6?) emissions and said it was horribly jerky to ride round town because the fueling is so lean, he can't get ready access to anything on that bike, No choke that you can pull or plugs you can easily take out and check. no matey, old school for me

Feel free to tell your friends about us. We're a friendly enough bunch.

mentioned this site to a few ex mcn forum people that i am still in touch with, all nice types, hopefully they will join soon.

Cheers for the referrals.

well i hope that there is nobody there who you know from your mcn days in a negative way but i don't think so as these are ones who posted in a civilsed way. funnily enough i got on with the most vilified bloke who i think had slept with somebody else's girlfriend at one point, hence all the abuse that a couple of others then joined in with. what a carry on.

No, it was years ago. I can't remember anyone from then.

Hello, I'm new here but I'm one of Sir Thingy's Referrals. What happens next ? Is there an Initiation ? Do I have to Run naked in the Snow ? Should I post Bike Pics ?

none of the above, welcome nev - just start posting/contributing to posts i think, that's what i did

and yes people will be interested in your bikes. Nothing adverse was said about my old heaps haha

Welcome.

You should prolly run naked in the snow and post pics of that instead....we already all know what a bike looks like...../

The thing about the tankslap initiation is that you don't know if there's a tankslap initiation.

Not until it starts

well, now that my cover is blown................ I was also known as Snev.......... (amongst many other names)...... on the old MCN Forum........ and I'm here to claim back my Dots............................. see ? .... those are mine..... always have been and always will be...............

we are all refugees from some previous forum i imagine, years ago i used to belong to the biker forum, that was a good 'un but the owner died unfortunately, it carried on for a year or so then i presume there was no more money and it ended.

Has every one forgotten about the payment fee for joining I can send you my pay Pal and details if you wish .......

Welcome to the site the people on here are ok but they have a strange cake thing choosing cake over a nice curry weirdos.

Mate. you had a curry for breakfast when there was a full english breakfast on the menu.

And who doesn't love cake?

Having known a fair few of you guys for over 10 years now, I feel I can finally come out.

I’m not really that fussed about cake!

There, I’ve said it!

Too soon

Moi aussi.....I like it, but if I get one I'll mow through the whole thing in about 15 seconds, so I tend to stay away.
