After being stored for 2 weeks I brought the FJ back to life...

Had to put it on full choke for her to start up, but once she was warm there was no problem.(at first it seemed like the battery may have been a bit dead but once it started I no longer worried)

She still runs smooth but I must say now after comparuing it to the big boy there is a world of difference.(obviously)

going at 60km/h feels A LOT faster on the FJ than the Big Boy. Even though I had only been off for 2 weeks it felt like I had to relearn how to steer the FJ and I saw myself taking a few corners wider than I should of, it then occured to me just how much my fork leak affected my steering/ handling as when I rode the FJ for the first time it wasnt even as bad..

I must say the kookaloo is there evenjust riding slowly at 60km/h it feels a lot more fun than the big boy(and a lot more comfortable)-I think I should upgrade its seats as I constantly slide on them bricks :biggrin:

It feels good to be back for a while atleast :good2:
Life behind bars - is actually quite thrilling
