Had me convinced as well that we were on a ride... BTW, Monkey, there's no way he could've pulled a fast one on you with the bandage and some fake blood, right? I mean, you said you didn't wanna SEE the damage, and that would make the whole thread epic, for sure. :)

I have no reason not to believe his injury, I picked him up at the hospital. I know its hard sometimes when we have had some story tellers string us along in the past. He seems to really like his FJ, I hope he stays active and contributes like many others here. It may have been  just as difficult for him to believe that our advice was as coming from FJ experts. He was likely not aware that many of us refuse to take our bike to the mechanic. Instead we have become our own expert mechanics and use this forum for help and advice when we need it.

This is also good reason to get your collective selves to a rally near you. Meeting members face to face is so much better than just a screen name and funny avatar picture. Kookaloo brothers. :drinks:

 Good on you Mark. I didn't follow the thread too closely , but was wondering myself.
Years ago I raced go-karts and the owner of the series said that each person racing there would meet someone that would be a friend for life. Well I did end up becoming friends with someone from my go-kart racing days.
I have met three or four FJ Owners guys who I expect to be lifelong friends as well. As Mark said go to a rally. The guys you meet will be awesome. It also helps to understand different people's sense of humor as well as their general temperament, making small jokes easier to take from those we know.

I feel pretty bad about piling on, but it did look like a pic I had seen before.  Thanks Mark for checking in and helping the guy out...  that's a pretty rough intro to the FJ and he's right back at it.   :dash1: :dash2: :dash1:

Good luck spots.  I apologize for thinking the finger nip was a hoax.  Please be careful around this toy.

I believe Papal attention may be justified. This example of Brotherhood puts you just one miracle from sainthood (cannonage?) I believe.
