I bought the bike on a whim in 1997. I still think "what was I thinking?" but there you go. The seller was a priest, Father Divine, who taught in a priests college near Wigan. He had the FJ, a Honda CBR1000 and a BMW 1000 tourer. Kept them in the college boiler room as it was warm and dry. He'd bought the FJ as a Japanese import so he could tour churches in Spain. Did 10,000 miles. I still have it, emigrated from Manchester to the Canary Islands and enjoyed the journey. The bike was tougher than I was!.
Now?. I was reconditioning my bike, took off all fairings, tank etc and decided to drive to buy a few beers. Car parked. I noticed it moving, tried to get in, it ran over me. Remember nothing. In hospital for 3 months. 2.5 years ago. Will it run? Can I ride it?. Who knows .
Welcome Homer, glad you survived. Post some pictures to show us what you're working with.
Cheers

Welcome in Homer, it's a great place to chew the cud and talk bikes/FJ's. But, as Pat notes....... we need pictures!!!
AND....... Nice to have another Brit around, even a part time one :sarcastic:
Welcome, looking forward to hearing the back story.
