Hi all. New member from Birmingham. Probably tell from my name that I have a soft spot for Harley's. However, some years ago I owned an FJ1200.... What a fantastic bike, right up until it got stolen and written off. Gutted!!  :diablo:

Anyway, last year I got myself another one, and then three more. Loved working on them, sold them. Now I have one left which I am going to try to keep. I have a workshop just outside Birmingham City Center, which is all about bikes. So anyone passing, pm me and you can have the address, kettles always on.

Welcome to our digital campfire. You are not the only Harley owner/enthusiast here. If you are open for visitors then you might want to place a pin on the FJ OwnersZeeMap so others can see where you are in the world. It is not required and not part of this forum, just used by many FJ owners. Your pin will show on the map once approved by an ADMIN.  :drinks:
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

SINCE WHEN ARE WE LETTING HARLEY OWNERS ON THIS FORUM?   :diablo:   OK I admit I still have my softtail. It doesn't get ridden as much as the FJ but had the Harley before the FJ. Welcome to the asylum. We have some very good inmates here.   Dave
A pistol is like a parachute, if you need one and don't have one you will never need one again.
