(Also, I'm loving learning the vernacular of the FJ community on this forum. I like that I have an "Ambulance")

Better than a Pink stripe....  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Drivers pull over for an Ambulance... Too bad you can't make the WCR this year..... Wait, better that you stay away for a few years, I need time to get my 86' cleaned up and more presentable. Other wise I need to park around the corner if I ride with you...

Hey nice look'n bike man! Theres something about the blacked out wheels thats appealing. The tire and the black wheel give it a thicker, bobber look I guess.  Your buddy only drove it 130 miles a year? What are friends for?

I think you can drive with a broken toe- just put some bubble wrap on the shifter.  :biggrin:

Thanks! I'm on the fence about the wheels, the center spokes were painted white all the way out to the tire when Gene bought it years ago, looked kind of funky. He painted them all black, which looked LOTS better. I'd kind of like to go back to stock, with polished lips and spoke edges. For now, I have the red rim stripes that I bought ten years ago to put on, and never did.

Hmmmmm, I DO have some bubble wrap...........
