Thanks guys..
Paul....that 3CP1 skit was a hoot. Reminded me of the early days of SNL. Zainey.
John... The garage journal site will prove to be very expensive....all kinds of good stuff in there.
There are several audio/video sites I frequent, also if not careful, can be very expensive.

Me thinks I'm just going to have to go back to work....(not)

Thanks again!

I've heard motorcycles can be expensive too. :unknown:

Yea, motorcycles can be expensive, very true...but FJ's are great bang for the buck motorcycles.
Simple to understand and to work on.

Compare what a BMW dealership would charge you for service, or God forbid what a Ducati dealership would charge you for a 8,000 mile valve adjustment on the Desmo valves.
Got a newer bike with a 14k redline and shim under buckets? Good luck with that.
Those cams have to come out to change the shims.

Besides, the money we save with our FJ's we can put into modifications, so I guess it's a wash after all.

Pat, don't forget the best FJ around can be had for less than a new bike depreciates in the first year.
