Glad to hear that you injuries are not more severe. I had a serious accident with my 85' FJ1100 way back in 1990. Totalled the bike and did a pretty good number on myself. While I was recovering, still using crutches. I purchased a basket case VF1000F that was in boxes and over a 6 month period, put everything back together, put the engine in the frame and got it running and rideable. By the time I had the bike ready to ride, I was off the crutches and started riding again. Overall staying busy and tinkering with putting the bike together was very therapeutic.

Here is a possible $1100.00 therapeutic device.

Not a good thing to happen. Hope you heal 100% and there seems to be plenty of FJs for sale, so never say never  :drinks:



Re that bike for sale the seller states only 20000 miles, but it needs new rings??

Damn it!  Damn it! Damn it!  This has not been a good week.  My family just lost one of my cousins in a motorcycle accident in Alabama this past week, so I'm currently a little sensitive to hearing about this.  All I can say Hartless, is 'Thank God' it didn't turn out worse for you and your family.  Heal up and get back on 'two' soon.

Remember, machines can be either fixed or replaced, but we riders can't always be fixed, and we certainly can't be replaced.  So, once you're healed up a bit, go celebrate being alive.  :good2:

Heal up Adam and I'm glad you're OK. I hope for your sake that nothing is broken.  I've broken a couple of bones but they didn't hurt nearly as much as a bruised kneecap I sustained in a dirt bike get-off some years ago, so even if it's not broken doesn't mean it can't hurt like hell.  Give things time to heal.  Hopefully you'll feel like getting back in the saddle when you feel better.

Damn bad luck. Stay busy and build something, be it model kit or the real deal.

Headed to Portland from Sisters the middle of next week. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you while I'm there.

Feel better my friend. One question.... was it a woman driver? Just curious.

Hartless (Adam),
I'm really sorry to read about your mishap, but it could have been much, much worse.

Heal up and get back on!

funny you ask because I had a discussion or two with a female co worker a couple months back about how every time I almost get hit by someone on my bike, its always a woman driver. when she texted me after she heard I got hit she asked the same question. as a matter of fact it was a woman lol. im not going to jump back on a bike right away but I think that I will get back on eventually. for sure I will be riding in the dirt as soon as I can. its chapping my hide hardcore that I cant ride the xr350 I just picked up!!!!

HARTLESS-sorry to hear about the accident. Hope you stay on the mend and recover quickly.  Like everyone has said, it doesn't take an FJ to be on here.

A lot of guys I meet at the dragstrip don't ride on the street anymore - you can always take it to the track to get your kookaloo on too!  Short and straight, curves, or even miles of salt...

You don't have to own an FJ to show up at a rally either.  :good2: :good2: You just have to know how to spell "FJ"  :rofl2:
