Title: Coming over from the Yahoo list, I am from cent. Mich. & still looking for an FJ
Post by: ws6transam on March 31, 2009, 03:14:32 PM
Hi all,
I've been on the Yahoo list for a very long time,
Still haven't found the right FJ for me but I am still looking.
What I want to find is a 1991-1993 FJ1200. I just sold my old
rat-bike Honda, and I'm in the process of road-registering my
'92 Yamaha WR500 just so that I'd have "Something"! to ride

However, a '92 FJ1200 needs to find a place in my garage sometime soon.
I could travel, perhaps as far as Milwaukee, Chicago, Indianapolis, Cincinatti, or Akron, OH area to get it.
If you find one, let me know, OK? It's got to be clean & be able to make a five hour road trip.

I hadn't seen that one! I'll have to bookmark that auction f.s. and show it to my wife!

In the mean time, I just got a license plate for this bad boy, just this afternoon!

(http://www.ws6transam.org/WR500_mid_restore1.jpg)

Those are, believe it or not, DOT approved tires.
It'll be equipped with brake, horn, mirror and headlamps before it actually sees pavement though.
I half-expect to get pulled over so I want it 100% ready for Michigan roadways. The muffler is about 94 db.

i know a good handful of us would vouch for bob being a generally good guy without overall psychotic tendencies, and thus you shouldn't have any reservations dealing with him.

Thanks for putting 'overall' in there Dean, I was going to have to correct your reply. Every now and then, some pop out despite the meds...

That WR looks like a fun ride  ;)  I've got a 90 WR250 that needs a rebuild, and have my 03WR450F legal and plated.... no better way to commute!  ;D
Good luck finding a good FJ, sounds like Bob has a nice one...

Now I just have to get my wife on-board with it. Bob's looks like a good candidate for sure.
