Hi everybody, my name is Albert I'm from a litle town in Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain, Europe. After a couple of years reading and learning from this site, finally today I become member. I'm the proud owner for four years of a 1992 3XW, before I've been an 89 3CV. Following yours and other advices, I made the changes recommended for wheels 17" front and back, brakes, brake pads, brake pump, KN filter, etc. I forgot, I'm a senior born in 1950, do the accounts yourself, but at least I ride every week between 200 and 300 kilometers. And sorry for my bad english.
I'm trying to show you my lady but don't find how to upload an image, help is welcome. Greetings from Europe

Hi, this is a modular helmet (Shoei Multitec) here is open.
Cheers
Albert,
Very nice bike(s). I like the color schemes. (Stock though, they are.)
Perhaps you ride using "The Force" with your blast shield down?
Cheers, :drinks:
Steve
Hola, Albert
Pues encantado de verte por aquí. Son gente muy maja, ya verás
Saludos
Alf
Nice bike Albert !! Thanks for the photo's :hi:. There are a lot of us more "life experienced" rider's here in the forum. You will be right at home. I think I read one time that you had to be at least over 30 to appreciate the FJ or for that matter to even know what they are.
George
Nice Fjs you have there. And from the pic, nice roads to ride them on.
Welcome to the clubhouse.

:hi: Hola, Albert, It is many years since I was in Espania. Great memories of a great vacation with some wonderful people and superb food :good2:
John.
Steve - I use "The Force" fot detect radars, We have a lot of them. :bomb:
Alf - A mi tambien me place verte por aquí, ya había visto algún escrito tuyo.
CraigO - Thanks, I love desert and curved (is this the correct word?) roads, ever I'm searching news, this is 100 Kms. far home.
And all you guys Thanks for your welcome!

Hi Albert,
Welcome. I'm also a European newbie on this board.
And I remember Alf from Tenerife also. I'm sure he remembers me too. He bought a right side engine cover some years ago.
It's a small world after all!
Cheers,
Jack
Hi, Jack
Of course I remember you and your part continue in my bike. Excellent item!
I remember that I asked you about using Deutsch Post because I thought that you lived in Germany :blush: and you got angry with me because I claimed you about the expensive cost of the delivery, when in fact you had to travel to Germany to send me the item... :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

That last part I forgot already :diablo:
Welcome Albert! Always great to have new members, this site has been invaluable to me in assisting with all kinds of issues with my 92 FJ, sounds like you would say the same.
Love to see the pictures of Spain, looks like a super place to ride.
