Hey everybody im new to the forums been on before for research but just wanted to let yall know ive had an '89 fj1200 for about 3 months now and recently learned how durable they are i was leaving my house a week and a half ago and was cut off by an SUV! hit the front brakes too hard and as many of you know the front on the fj dips a little bit!! lol well needless to say the bike catapulted me off and into the air i hit the ground face first slid about 30 feet and broke my shoulder in three places! bike flipped in the air and landed a couple inches from my face! well thats the bad news! the good news when i got back from the hospital my roomate went and got the bike...... He rode it back! it still rides like a dream a little fairing damage but the damn thing just won't quit.... I loved the bike before but now i think i wanna marry it! P.S. THANK GOD FOR HELMETS! wear them and stay safe!
WOW!!!!
Glad to hear that they were the only injuries.
Front brakes work too!
