Hello from 1TX650

[1TX650]

Howdy all, brand new to the forum.. Just rode home today on a 1986 FJ1200S with 16,XXX miles, one owner.  It has the full Lockhart lower faring,  Stage 3 Jetting, and Supertrapp canisters.  I'll try to post some pictures in the future.  I'm super happy with the bike and it is a 9 out of 10 for condition.  I feel pretty lucky to have found it on Craigslist at a dealership about 100 miles south of me.  Only flaw is the dried up silicone in the fuel gauge gremlin which I plan on taking care of soon.

I have a couple other bikes at this time;  1973 TX650 Yamah5, 16,XXX original miles (active restoration almost completed),  1969 CL70 Honda KO, 11,XXX (older restoration), 1964 C100 Honda Cub (awaiting restoration).  I've owned numerous bikes and kinda have a bend for riding rice.
