Hello everyone, im Peter from Margate in Kent. I owned an FJ1200 a number of years ago but due to cashflow and life changes she had to go. A few weeks ago i managed to bag a real bargain, so im now the proud owner of a 1992 FJ1200 3xw abs. I had a very cold 65 mile trip back home but the bike performed as a 1200 should and apart from bitterly cold fingers i enjoyed every mile of my journey home. As soon as i pulled out of the sellers road and gave the throttle a tickle i knew i was on the bike i wanted to own. The only real fault i have with the bike is a damaged fairing and i would love to find a metallic blue and white one with the pink pinstripe, ive been searching without success. I am hoping to have many many miles from this bike and hope to get any small cosmetics sorted.
                          Cheers peteh  :drinks:

Welcome, to the FJ club....Could you be convinced to paint it Red and White?????? Working on a world domination kind of thing for the Ambulance colored FJ's.... Either way, thanks for the into. I hope you stay in touch and keep us posted.

Welcome, and good choice on the pink stripe idea!
Good luck with getting familiar with your "new" FJ.
