Title: FZ From OZ
Post by: Methanol on 29 July 2018, 11:13:56 am

G'day Riders
Had a look around for Fazer forums and settled here, as it has the most activity.
Just bought my 2009 FZ1S in very good condition with 43,000 km on the clock.
It has a few accessories and not much more I'll need to add.
Decided on a Fazer FZ1S as it ticked the most boxes on my needs list.
A group trip half way around Australia planned next year, and my regular DP dirt sled not an appealing choice for all that open bitumen riding.

I've been around bikes from some of my earliest childhood memories.
A 3rd generation rider and racer myself, with an international GP racer in the family extended clan.
Done most of my open competition riding on dirt with MX, Dirt Track and a bit of Enduro in the early 80s.
Had a bit of break for life, wife and family then went racing again from early 90s in VMX & Dirt Track.
So I'll be referencing the forum for needed info and if searches fail to deliver, I may posts up some questions.

Thanks in advance to all forum members for contributed info.

Hi Methanol. Welcome to the forum. You and your family have certainly got a lot of experience in the biking world. Looking forward to seeing your FZ1S. As you say, probably a better machine to do your ride next year, rather than your off road machine.

Lovely bike, and top box and panniers fitted. Everything that you need for your trip next year. Hope that you enjoy riding it between now and then.
