What did you do to your FJ-tracer-gt today?

[Stew]

Quite clever, eh. He is a nut for Motorhead. This is his wee crafts shop/tearoom, hahahaha

I saw them on their first and second tours in the UK, my ears are still ringing, but he was better with Hawkwind.

Installed my Hinson exhaust,very easy and took only about 1 1/2 hours.And I got to keep my center stand.

light flashing, not a problem , there's a good 30 miles left.

8 miles later , I had a couple of hours sit around until a farmer took pity on my weeping sobbing body and gave me some petrol to get home

You only got 8 miles from the fuel light on to empty?

Maybe 10.

I was seriously going for it for a bit though, but I was still shocked.

When the light starts flashing its Morse code for "Time to change the right hand inputs from 'sport' mode to 'economy' mode for a bit... 😎

I have got the flashing light many times and I immediately tame it down, have managed 20 miles a few times and once I got 25 miles before reaching a gas station and that was a 4.5 gallon top off.

Twice , in the past 20 years, that I can remember, I have been stuck at the side of the road.

BOTH TIMES out of stupid petrol.

Once coming back from Amsterdam via Eurotunnel, which was around 2011 ish, and today.

I'll take that , operator error.

At least you got stuck from having too much fun. Both times I’ve been stuck on the side of the road it was because I was on a Triumph 😂

That's crazy usually you get at least 20 miles once the light starts flashing

I've noticed my mileage has been down but in actuality going to a 15 front end 44 rear it puts me in an RPM range where my mileage is better droning along at 65 but I still only averaged about 40 miles per gallon

I once ran out of gas in the middle of the Bay Bridge coming from Eastbay into San Francisco the Bay Bridge is a double-decker inbound is on top with out outbound Below had a great view of the Bay called on the box and he was out in 5 minutes and kept watching for somebody who could rear end us, gave me a gallon can of said fill it up and get the phuck out of here, which I did live and learn and that was on my BSA 500 single

Just got back from a short jaunt stopped it the Woodstock Harley bought a hat had some BBQ next door talk to a friend who just got a new 13 K 1600 last night I took Sheridan Road South and stopped at the Baha'i Temple in Wilmette still one of the most beautiful buildings in the US all concrete

Fortunately, I have never experienced that myself, I have been close a few times.  You're lucky it wasn't dumping rain. 

I once got a <expensive> speeding ticket doing 110mph on a bike. As the trooper was writing the ticket, it started pouring <cats and dog>  rain.

The trooper was pretty cool and asked if I wanted to sit in the car.  At that point it didn't matter, so I just stood in the rain and took my punishment.

Nice

Loud even with a DJ killer (if available)?!

Cost, from where?

[nhchris]

Took a 50-mile ride to see if I incurred any oil leaks after installing an R&G clutch cover on my FJ.  NO!!!!

At  a coffee shop little FJ hung out with some big American muscle.

I wouldn't park my bike that close to that thing it might be contagious.
