Tabernac!!! You damaged an FJ? What were you thinking????

Welcome dude... Fix it and ride it some more..... They love to be ridden, like a two bit hooker....

Welcome. The FJ is a handful for a first bike !  As bikes go they are pretty easy to work on and still a lot of parts available.  Hope you were not hurt in the misshap.  Asphalt is a cruel teacher.

My favorite people are the French Canadian owners of the company I was hired into 21 years ago. Great people to work for, I loved how they treat people.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely, in an attractive & well preserved body...but rather to slide in sideways, body completely worn out and and with your last dying breath screaming, "HOOOYA LIFE, lets try that again"!!!
