Title: Kind of out of control.
Post by: Tor-King on September 21, 2016, 10:04:06 PM
I know that many of you have multiple FJ's.  I caught the bug and bought a 3rd one tonight, like I needed that.  I am a very happy guy tonight.  It is an '88 (Canadian version) in the unique silver, red and white colour pattern.  It is in great condition!  It has been parked for over 5 years and has not been started since.  I bought it from a fellow who simply was downsizing and did not have the time to resurrect it.  As far as I can see, it needs VERY little.  The plastics are beautiful, has a Corbin seat, stainless brake lines and even an intact belly pan.  And for the price of $700 Canadian, who could resist?  :good2:

...Why is there a bike on top of your fridge???


1. Display piece.
2. Mad bikin' skilz.
3. Too much light beer in the fridge, had to hold it down.

If it any of those, then I am jealous.
A. because I don't have fridge to put a bike on (at least not one swmbo will let me use)
B. I don't have mad bikin' skilz
C. I don't drink light beer, so fridge wont float.

It was truly a great find.  I certainly was not looking for another FJ when I discovered this one and only about 10kms from my house.  This one does need some TLC but I am putting it in hibernation for awhile.  My '86 has my undivided attention at the moment.

Love that color, and for approx 350 American dollars, why that's just a fantastic buy. Even if the motor was broken it would still be a buy. That's great.

Great buy on a a very rare, in the States, bike. That color combo is my favorite. Yes, Fjs are like potato chips, You can stop at one. I have a 89, stock, in the same livery, a very stock, low mileage 86 in red/ white, another 86 running project in various red/ white and etc body parts (soon to be yellow), another 86 that is 2018's project, another 86 titled frame with engine scheduled for 2019, and a untitled parts bike. I have most of the major parts to complete the bikes, plus a bunch of spares. I need to block Craigslist from my computer. I keep running across cheap FJ's. Enjoy your rides.

700 for that jewel is simply obscene. The FJ's are ridiculously under-priced. But good on ya for bringing this old girl in from the cold.
