...This is a big forum with a ton of boards (which I generally find frustrating, more clicking around to do, but ah well!). But it turns out there's a board for "Bikes for Sale".

Since I'm going through a ton of FJ ads, I'm occasionally sticking ones I find and pass over (too expensive, too nice, or just not what I'm looking for, or good for parts only) there. I'll probably keep doing this at least until I get one.

Just so you know, if you are looking for something, might want to keep an eye there and see if I find what you're looking for. (Hell, feel free to tell me to keep an eye out for something in particular.)

Not everyone understands what a completely rational process this maintenance of a motorcycle is. They think it's some kind of a knack or some kind of affinity for machines in operation. They are right, but the knack is almost purely a process of reason.

Something I *won't* be posting there...

...is THIS winner:

http://stockton.craigslist.org/mcy/3216927807.html



$300, firm on price.  :wacko1:

Is there a chance this is worth something to anyone? Maybe as a complete (edit: almost complete) set of fairings with a possible salvage on some other pieces here and there on ebay (seatpan? gauges?)? I don't think I've ever seen a bike in that bad of shape for sale anywhere...

Yesss, as a matter of fact, I'm doing a travelling roadshow where I attempt to jump 25 Hardlys with a double decker bus, but I'm sure we can use a pseudo stand in filler and besides most of the Hardlys break down on the way to the gig so we're always short of "participants"...

makes the 84 I found on eBay look like a concourse bike
unless you ride bikes, I mean really ride bikes, then you just won't get it

84 Fj1100  effie , with mods
( 88 ) Fj 1200  fairly standard , + blue spots
84 Fj1100 absolutely stock standard, now more stock , fitted with Fj12 twin system , no rusted headers for this felicity jayne

Sniff, sniff, brings back memories of my beauty when it bought it. Almost..... :cray:
Yep, bought a piece of shit, and got it back to life. Not as pretty as 99% of the bikes the owners of this forum, have in their garages, but it is mine, it runs, it keeps me happy and I wear a full face helmet so my mates can't see it's me  :rofl2:

Motor alone is worth the $300 all day long, even if it doesnt run.
Then you have the carbs, ignition, and everything else.
Strip it down and parts it out for $2000 on eBay.
Pick it up if you're a local
