Thanks Guys,
Well I must admit I got a steal on this bike. A few cosmetic fixes and it is golden. The bike is currently sitting in my living room next to my Yamaha WR250F dirt machine. I'm awaiting a few cosmetic fixes and then I will post some pics of it. Expecting a new chin scoop next week and I have the front fender sent out as it has faded to PINK for some new paint. The weather permitted me to take it out Dec 31st and run it through the gears, everything works awesome, in fact went sideways down the street for the first 15 feet as the back tire spun out from under me in first gear. 2nd gear is good as I was worried about this since my last FJ the 2nd gear was toast.
Canadian Rally sounds awesome, in fact I plan on taking the FJ to the east coast this summer. I plan on a 1 week trip... 2 days there.. 3 days exploring (Cabot Trail, Bay of Fundy, etc..) and 2 days back. If anyones interested let me know.

You looked like that the whole day we rode. It was the rally? I thought you were just a happy guy (except going up the mountain)!
