Hello,  I finally did what I wanted to do back in 1986 and bought an FJ.  A friend let me borrow his brand new FJ in 86 for a week as a birthday gift and I thought it was the best bike ever.  I picked up a 1987 with 18k on the clock.  So far it has been good.  I have about 8 bikes hanging around in various states of repair, dirt and street.  I prefer 70's two strokes and the FJ has been my first 4 stroker since I was 9!  So far so good.  Thanks for the cool website and parts supply.

I am from the South Bay.  My Dad still lives there so a trip down that way is a possibility.

I had no idea anyone else liked the FJ till I stumbled across this site.

The best surprise was the people on this forum.

I'm sceptical of most things about the web, and don't link up with people from the web in real life.

Against my normal judgement, I hooked up with some FJer's face to face.

I'm still sceptical of the web and most people on it.

The FJ crew are my exception.

Welcome to the forum mate. You've found a pocket of gold here.  :hi:
1984 FJ1100 Ms Effie brand new :)
1984 FJ1100 Pearlie, stock as.
1985 FJ1100 Mr Effie 647,000K and still running hard.
1985 FJ1200 'Yummy' takes a licking & keeps on ticking
2013 Trumpy Tiger 800, let's do another lap of Oz

After all is said and done, more is said than done :)

Troy, perhaps we could discuss this over coffee next time I visit earth.
