Hello everyone, im Peter from Margate in Kent. I owned an FJ1200 a number of years ago but due to cashflow and life changes she had to go. A few weeks ago i managed to bag a real bargain, so im now the proud owner of a 1992 FJ1200 3xw abs. I had a very cold 65 mile trip back home but the bike performed as a 1200 should and apart from bitterly cold fingers i enjoyed every mile of my journey home. As soon as i pulled out of the sellers road and gave the throttle a tickle i knew i was on the bike i wanted to own. The only real fault i have with the bike is a damaged fairing and i would love to find a metallic blue and white one with the pink pinstripe, ive been searching without success. I am hoping to have many many miles from this bike and hope to get any small cosmetics sorted.
Cheers peteh :drinks:

Welcome, to the FJ club....Could you be convinced to paint it Red and White?????? Working on a world domination kind of thing for the Ambulance colored FJ's.... Either way, thanks for the into. I hope you stay in touch and keep us posted.
Welcome, and good choice on the pink stripe idea!
Good luck with getting familiar with your "new" FJ.

Hi,

Welcome
Seen lots of UK here.
Maybe an Olympic run down the M25 is on the cards :dance2:
