Hi from a newbie to the site. Just picked up an 88 FJ streetfighter rat and looking forward to getting it tiptop for the summer. First FJ I ever owned, just sold an 88 ZX10 tomcat cos I want something a bit less sporty looking and a bit more Ratlike.

Ummmm, I'd have to say the first one lol. Although I have some plans to add some metal bits n bobs for that post apocalypse look, never been much of a shiny plastic or chromosexual biker, I already have a 1984 Honda Shadow VT 700 bobber and this is the sports tourer alternative to that :)

Welcome to the group. Not many here have a FJ Street Fighter. Post up some photos and maybe plan on attending a Rally.

I was in an armchair on the verandah of a house we regularly hire near Phillip Island (For the superbike races) when I asked my very young looking 73 year old mate, what his secret was to an obviously long youthful life. (He rides a Kwaka 1400zzr - don`t ya hate having an old mate that`s faster than ya!)
He looked me straight in the eye, wiped his mouth, (he was dribbling a bit) and said Mate...Maayte.., "I`ve thought about that question... a lot.....the more I thought about it and other blokes like me, the more I realised they really only have one thing in common" (I braced myself, ready for a recital about fruit veges and apparently, Grog!).....
"for their entire life... they were absolute Ratbags!" - true story- :hi: Welcome Gaz.
