Hello to all in the FJ forum My name is Simon, I've been a resident of Burnaby BC for about 1.5 decades. I have been a
visitor, to your site and forum on and off for a good portion of that time. (I think it was under another name when I first discovered same?) I signed on a year ago but lost touch this is my first time at saying hello. I may know one or two of your members from BC as it is.
I have been a big fan of the FJ from the very first red & white back in '84 Working as a mechanic in the MC industry over the years that followed, my desire to have one of them just kept on keepin' on. It was all of 1990 when I finally put the loot
on the table. Over the years from being the employee, to being the employer and back again, I have had 8 or 9 FJs come and go , but my most favorite was and still is the very first one I bought new in 1990.
I still ride it regularly. In the shed I also have an older air cooled twin, just to remind me of what it was really like
back in the day.
I'll post a pic when I figure out how!
Cheers, and thanks for having me aboard.
Simon, welcome dude... Feel free to post and stay in touch, we don't bite much....
Welcome Simon. I live in the interior just north of Kamloops. Have a 86. This the best place for any info. but then with you being a mc tech you could probably help some of us. Big R
Hi Simon!

Hey Simon, welcome aboard. I'm in North Delta, so not far away at all. I ride an '89 that I just put collector plates on; gotta love that cheap insurance :good2:
Welcome . Lots of Canadians here.
Welcome to the forum. :good2:
Welcome.
I just visited the lovely town of Victoria BC Mighty friendly folk.
I live a bit South, in Washington State on the Puget Sound.
You sound like a Yamaguy, would that old air cooled twin be from the XS-1 family?
I'm thinking this is Simon D? Hey bud I think that GSXR wheel just might work. Still need to find some spacers and a speedo gear. Welcome to the group!

Welcome Simon. I'm just across the strait in Nanaimo. Do a search for "how to add pictures". There are a few posts about it. We'd like to see your fine motorcycles.
