Title: Hi from Scotland
Post by: al_b on September 28, 2009, 10:10:13 AM
Hi,

I'm Al. I live near Glasgow, in Scotland, and have owned a 1991 FJ1200ABS 3XW since October 2008.

I'm a member of the UK FJ Owners club.

Hope to get some good tips and tricks from across the pond!

Al.

Al,

Hello and welcome     :greeting:

Is this your group    http://www.fjclub.co.uk/page6.php (http://www.fjclub.co.uk/page6.php)

They really have a lot of items for sale to fit the FJ.  Some of those Items are hard to find over here in the states.

I am sure you will enjoy this group as well as your UK FJ budies.  You might even meet someone near you on this site.

Ride on.

Later, Phil .....  :bye2:

Thanks for the welcome. Yeah, the scenery is stunning, as long as you can put up with the changeable weather!

The photo above is of the "Bealach Na Ba" - Pass of the cattle. It boasts the greatest ascent of any road climb in the UK, rising from Applecross at sea level to 626 metres (2,054 ft). It's stunning!

Still dangerous for backpackers though.
