Just got the call from my Yamaha shop...the '86 is now certified safe for the road!  :yahoo:  Off to the licence bureau!

Want to thank all you guys that held my hand thru the complete process, its not easy to teach a carpenter all those mechanical tricks. Its not a pretty bike to look at....yet, but after a complete rewire, many new and nearly new parts, four years of sitting idle in various garages in differing states of disassembly, the engine roared to life on its first roll-over. 

I'm afraid the sound of the FJ coming to life again has stirred something evil from within...what' my next maintenance task...should I go for a complete paint and decal job...what mod should I attempt first...o dear...have I been inflicted with Kookaloo?  :wacko2:

Now, to get all this snow and salt off of the roads up here!

Thank again FJowners.

The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

Red and Whites RULE.
We are the 80's disco biscuits.
Keep the faith
life without a bike is just life
