Mr. Previous Owner

[Travis398]

I was wondering if some of you guys could help my out here. i am looking for this guy that goes by the name of Previous Owner. 
I have heard a lot of people talk about him here so i thought it would be good place to ask.

He is the guy that screws up a lot of shit, broken bolts, stripped threads, broken fairings, scratched side covers,
ripped seats, dented gas tanks.........just to mention a few.  I was thinking that this guy has been messing shit up
on everyone's bike for a while now.
So if this guy wasn't around we could all be driving bikes that would look brand new, and problem free.

I noticed the guys selling their bikes seem to talk about him quite a bit,
so this gives me the sneaking suspicion that he must be working at the stealership.
Anyways i think i need to kick his ass.    I noticed a new scratch on my gas tank after my last ride.

It is right where my zipper rests when i leave my jacket zipped down a ways, and the only logical explanation
I can come up with is that this Previous Owner dickhead must have scratched my gas tank. I may be able to find him
if you guys let me know what he has done last, he must be leaving some kind of trail behind him.

Has he done anything to your bike in the past or lately?
it may help me find him and stop him from striking again,
although he might know i am looking for him now and gone into hibernation.

Travis, he must be quite well off, cos he seems to visit Aus quite regularly too, and I'm sure I've seen posts suggesting he also hangs out in Europe and also visits South Africa.

I am sure somebody else will help, because in my company people say thats "somebody else's" problem or "somebody else' will do that

Actually I thought Previous Owner was kind of a careful guy; it seems he's never actually crashed a bike on the street or track, but only has minor mishaps where the bike fell over on the lawn, in the garage, or the moving company didn't secure it properly in their trailer, but never ever at speed.

And oh yeah, no matter what befell him or the bike, it never results in structural damage.

So why y'all picking on the poor guy

[FJmonkey]

Hey!!! I think this guy works for my company....Whenever crap goes wrong and I ask the first shift who did this, they tell me it was the second shift. So I ask the same of second shift and they say it was third shift. Third shift says it was not us. This bastard is on the fourth shift buggering everything up.

About time someone called the Previous Owner out, I was starting to wonder what the deal was with him. I think he's also the guy that always jets the carbs perfect to match that LOUD pipe, once the stale gas is out it'll run awesome you understand. And he always rebuilds the motor a month before selling a bike, that smoke will clear up when the rings seat. And all his fluids are fresh synthetic. Previous girlfriend took all the receipts. Can get you a title if necessary. And it will go 160 MPH no sweat. Don't worry about the sidewall cracks, tread's good. Don't worry about the tread, shaved for racing! Brakes/clutch just need to be bled a little. All of these bikes make that noise. The clutch is supposed to release as soon as you touch the lever, shifts faster for racing! You don't need the clutch, just back off the throttle and click it twice to go from first to third. Second is only for traffic and this bike is for the open road! I think the cat put those scratches there.

Really, is no one secure enough to say yeah, I dropped it/ never maintained it/ beat the shit out of it/ ran it out of oil/ backed over it with the lawn tractor while sloshed/ went a little past 12 o'clock on the last wheelie/ tried to hop it up and now it barely runs?  Because at least some of us would understand.
My name is Doug and I have been a previous owner.

The only previous owner of my FJ was this this guy in Hamamatsu.  He did f*$k up a few things, but I think he may have done the same to a few other FJs as well.   

[Travis398]

so let me get this straight. this guy works 4th shift and crosses borders? i had no idea he was a workaholic. perhaps i under estimated how hard it
will be to stop him, what will he do to my bike next?

Previous owner must have re-used a funky circlip on my shifter, cause it slip off when geeting on the freeway last week. The cheap bastard!....Wait am the original owner 

[The General]

Why don`t ya just admit the zipper wasn`t on ya jacket! (I love my fj too  )

Same here.  But I think he worked on mine as the last bike on a Friday before a long weekend. 
Then again, if I'd had one of those legendary rock solid reliable FJs, I'd have few tools and a stock bike right now.
