Trailer I approximate to about 190 kg with the fridge packed, the Bike and bags probably 350 kg all up well over half a tonne.

Mostly mid strength beer, and Jack Daniels when the sun goes down, straight up slightly chilled.

Day One 26/10/2007 Left home at 09:15 after finally getting packed, had to fuel up just down the road but noticed considerable weaving from the trailer (tail wag), this was affecting the FJR from only 75 kph. This does not feel good, I had a milk crate with water, gas cannisters and a couple...

Dont expect to do a great deal of dirt riding but I must admit, i did think about riding the oodnadatta track on the way north. Athough this tack is touted as being a 4WD track, I have driven it a number of times and reckon it is do-able. But with the recent rains we have had and 850 klms of...

Shit yeah with the DB's, but seriously, I have crossed the simmo on my own, and have done many 1000s of klms around Oz in varous types of transport, I met my wife on a SR500 and we have been together for 23 years (yeah I know murder would have been cheaper), but she shares my passion, has her...

Got to the stage I had to start pulling shit out, have packed most of the heavy gear on the bike and the bulky stuff in the trailer, will carry 5 litres of water, 5 litres of spare fuel, and 5 litres of beer (just in case I don't make town for the night). Seriously, I have towed trailers b4 and...

Will do fella, Wish u were here, these trips are gr8 with numbers but "I Will Survive" Tomorrow I expect to do about 700 klm and will be camping in the Oz bush at least 150 klm from the nearest person, camp fire, JD and steak on the Barbie, yeah it'lll be grand..... Cejay

About 10 hours from now One day would love to do it over there but right now, have too much of this beaut country to see... BTW don't know if I qualify for young at 50

America is huge, go south

No such thing as too much power, usually relates to not enough grey matter. FJR is an easy bike to control, it is forgiving, sure it's heavy but so is a slab if you hold it in one hand, shit a bottle of JD can tip you over if you hold it out at arms length without drinking some. You will enjoy...

Colour (Oz) is subjective, I have had a number of black bikes and a superb 5.7 litre Holden (Chevy) they are a bitch to keep clean but the effort is worth it, my 07 is in Blue and Silver and still attracts dust like a shit magnet....

Well most of the hard work is done, the trailer is set up ready for the trip and most of the packing has started, have fitted the gearsack rack to the FJR after cutting of the brackets that mounted it to the ST1100 and unbolting the brackets that mounted it to the CBR1100XX it now has a new...

Having owned a Busa for a year and travelled 2 up at over 300 kph indicated with the frt wheel looking for the clouds the rush was incredible. Every time I took it out I just loved that second gear, arm tearing acceleration, I soon learned when solo to stick my arse into the hump before nailing...

Just regarding the AE versus A choice (its actually an AS in Oz), I love tech and toys and thought the idea of a lecky clutch was great. I bought my 2007 AS untried after having test ridden an 05 A model. When I collected the bike the next day and instinctively reached for the clutch I was in...

Mine is a Classic Trailers standard 50mm ball hitch on the trailer I have a swivel coupling made by the local traile bloke (Shadow Trailers) Have towed with Blackbird (220 KPH - Shadow Trailer), XV750 Yamaha, ST1100, VN1500 and now about to spend 4 weeks with the FJR.
