Hey at all FJ Riders

its the rest of my School English that i have learnd for over 35 Years.
Now,my Name is Andy,i am 50 Years old,came from Northrhein Westfalia.In Germany we call it "Ruhrgebiet".
I´m not married,but i have a Livepartner .Her name is Bea and she has 2 Children.Her little Son lifes in a Wheelchair
because he had an Swiming Accident in Age if 3years.But i love this little Men.
My Job is 40t Truckdriver and i am carry the good old german Beer.But i dont drink it.
And now my Bike.
I buy it in 1987 as one of the first puplished 1xj.Today i have 245.500 KM to ride on my Old Lady.In over 26 Years
i have many many things rebuilt.R1 Front Fork,3.75 front Whell.6.00 back Reel,Oilthermometer into the Revcounter,
a Horn from a Sailingboat(very Loud :D)and many other things.
Currently i rebuild my old original Motor with 1314 ccm Wisecokit,polish canals,36Flat-side carburetor,
a fine crankshaft,camshaft with slotted holes.I hope i bring it all and good together :D.
So i hope you understood my writing and i learn from you for better reading and writing.So long.
Welcome!
I really want to go back to Germany one day, I spent 4 hours in Franfurt in the train station in between transfers. Was going to go outside for a walk around but had a Football group come screaming by in a fit of drunkeness and I didn't feel like being assaulted.
Awesome about the mileage on the bike, good to know as someone who bought an FJ recently that it can be reliable for so long!
Welcome Andy. Your English is fine (better than some around here who claim it as their native tongue...) You sound like just the sort to fit in around our 'virtual campfire'.
There are lots of fine people and great information here, and it always seems someone is there to help with whatever sort of questions folks have.
Again, Welcome.

Welcome Andy, You will enjoy the group, and looks like you are building a motor that will be right at home on the Autobahn.
Fred
Welcome to the funny farm. Is your FJ still stock Red and White color? If so, then welcome fellow ambulance driver.

Poor Andy...don't bother trying to translate Baldy's Aussie speak .... Even native english speakers have no clue what he means...
He does it on purpose.
Are you referring to "Lord Baldy" :blum2: There is a Android "app" for "oz" speak.
