Since nobody else seems to want to take on this challenge, I will. Please take what your about to see with a grain of salt.












My 88 FJ1200 and Italian (Fiat) sports car, both in grey.






Before you complain, let me explain.
It was built in Italy.
Italians believe that all cars are sports cars and drive them like that was true.
It has a whopping 69ps(hp).
The gas mileage is outrageous.
Beside, who needs a sports car when you have a FJ?


Should this be deemed acceptable then the next is your FJ and a Joshua tree.
There are bold riders.
There are old riders.
There are no old bold riders.

MWHAHHAHAHAH,
Sorry fellas, I didn't get a notification of an update to this & just stumbled across it after posting in the projects.
Fred, winner, I didn't state 'live', and yes Noel I did really mean a live one.

Now as to the Italian sports car, it should only count if you've removed the rear view mirror in a cavalier manner by throwing it in the back-seat! Yes all Italian cars are sports cars in Italy. :sarcastic:

Sorry Alt, lost the thread totally there for a while.

Ok Alt, you've won this, what's next?

I think we should add stupider the better, or most tenuous but factual link. Super kudos to the dickhead that does a selfie on a moving bike!

Noel, BAH HUMBUG should be a new FJowners saying, I'm going to use it!

As I said before, your FJ and a Joshua tree. If you don't know what a Joshua tree is look here. http://www.desertusa.com/flora/the-joshua-tree.html

Will this work? Thanks to Avation Fred for the reminder....

Next challenge, near and dear to my heart, your FJ with a wheelchair lift, vehicle or building mount....

Not my bike, not my photo so I'm not claiming it, the challenge still stands. Mark, what did you mean about 'vehicle or building mount...'?

Wheelchair lifts are for vehicles or buildings, so I kept the challenge open. Feel free to post the next challenge. I thought it was a great sight when I stopped at Newcomb's Ranch (a popular MC stop) and saw a guy pull up in in a CanAm Spyder. He pulled his folding chair out and transferred over. Legs don't work, no problem, he can still ride the roads and enjoy.

I'm out of this one. Just can't find a lift. Lots of ramps everywhere. Even the buses use ramps here. :shok:

How about a mobility scooter? ("Wheelchair vehicle")

Ramps are taking over and I think acceptable for this challenge.
