Title: A hello from Wiltshire
Post by: VMax1000 on March 04, 2012, 05:33:48 AM
Hi all,

New to this forum but not to the FJ1200.
Been into biking since 1987 whilst still living in the Netherlands
This is my second FJ1200 (first was a 1986, this is a 1992 with ABS)
Always had Yamahas, started with a XJ750 Seca followed by the first FJ1200.
Then got a XJ750 Maxim-X and later a VMX1200 (hence VMax)

After moving to the UK I bought a Thundercat but couldn't get on with it so it went.
Finally found the bike I wanted and now back to FJ ownership.

Got a lot of catching up to do and hopefully find usefull info on here as well as posting some (I hope).

You don't mean 'Doc' by any chance now do you ?

Anyway thanks for the welcome and all. :good2:

As I bought it with a service and 3 months warranty I spent the last two weekends doing:-


Not bad for a bike with recent service and MoT
