A little while ago I sent an email with photos of my FJ to Motorcyclist Magazine too see if there was interest in using it in the Me & My Bike page. I was surprised when I received a response asking for a photo of the bike and me together. I had a photo that I sent in and now it looks like My FJ and I will be in the pages of Motorcyclist Magazine. I don't know if it will be Decembers issue or not. Motorcyclist Magazine has already posted the page on their Facebook page. Below is the link

I hope this link works.

Nice Fred.
Way to go Fred! Good looking FJ. All it lacks is a bikini clad girl on the seat. Might be a little cold in Kansas now for that.
