Beautiful weather ..... great roads......and the FJ..... key ingrediants that form the perfect receipe for a weekend getaway.
Called up Eric M. and we arranged the details to meet up at Willville motorcycle campground located on the picturesque plateau otherwise knows as Meadows of Dan,Virginia.
loaded up the camping gear and headed on out for some quality riding literally right out my back door.
you know it's going to be a good day when ya see the pink elephant

I GOTTA KNOW!!! the fj in the pictures with the twin mufflers. what kind are they and how can i get some. i love the look. looks like a awesome time you had. scott
Well Scott, we certainly did have a great time. It was a fun overnighter at a nice place with an old Bud. We have been doing the early spring campout for the past couple years and its a great way to start the season.
I got bad news for you about the slip ons. They were made by Yoshimura and sad to say are NLA.. No longer available from the maker, although from time to time they do show up on Ebay. Me likey too......
