Ciao da Milano Italia

[Dom66]

Buona sera a tutti, mi sono appena iscritto e mando un saluto a tutti i possessori FJ del mondo.
[Good evening everyone, I just signed up and I send a greeting to all FJ owners in the world.]

Buona Giornata  (Google says that's Good Day)


Hope all is well for you and your family.  I see from the picture it looks stock except for fork tube guards, running lights, and rear signals.  Is the mirror mounted with spacers?  Can't quite tell as the picture gets too blurry when I zoom in.

Plenty of things can be done relatively inexpensively to make immediate improvements.  Make a list and we'll chime in.  (I see you've already stated asking in the Mods section)

First suggestion get rid of rubber brake lines and buy a set of steel braided ones.

Next...

Ciao!

My FJ looks just like yours.

I've been to Milan a few years ago.  I decided I actually kind of like how Italians drive.

Thanks bro!
For the moment, everything is fine in the family ... my wife works in the hospital, hopefully well! Here you can't even go out.

The photo is 2 years old, now I mount the stainless steel braided brake hoses forward.
Changes / additions: depth spotlights, engine oil thermometer, voltmeter, 12 volt connection under the saddle, and yes I have put thickness gauges for the rear view mirrors ... and feeler gauges to slightly raise the handlebars.

Thanks ... we are quite "dangerous" ...

Thanks ... we are quite "dangerous" ...

So far as I can tell, you have two rules - don't stay in the left lane on fast roads and don't hit anybody. Everything else seems to be ok. 

The absolute best part is that nobody really gets angry.  Somebody just got in front of you - "eh, he needed to go faster. Who cares!" 

Two things surprised me on the road - old Fiat 500 still driving and how many Harleys I saw.

[Dom66]

There is a certain nostalgia for the old 500 ... for the Harleys there is a certain admiration ... even if it is not my kind of bike.

Hi, welcome, and greetings from Rovigno, Croazia.

Welcome from Canada. Nice looking bike! Molto bella? Parlo un po 'di italiano. My wife and I try to travel yearly to central and northern Italy to enjoy the scenery, the food, and the warm, friendly people who kindly let us practice our beginner Italian speaking skills. I enjoy taking pictures of the many motorcycles and scooters I see. I wish you and your family very good health. Mike

Grazie Mike, allora rispondo in italiano direttamente così fai pratica (anche perchè io l'inglese non lo parlo...traduco con google )

Questa moto è stata una grande sorpresa per me e la possiedo da circa due anni ormai. Era del padre di un mio carissimo amico ed era ferma da 18 anni in box sotto un telo. Io l'ho presa, smontata completamente e rimontata revisionando tutto da cima a fondo. Non è il mio genere, vengo dall'enduro e sono alto quindi mi sento troppo "seduto a terra" sulla FJ ma, devo dire con piacere, mi ci sto affezionando e per i lunghi viaggi autostradali la trovo semplicemente un missile rispetto tutte le moto che ho avuto, mi diverte devo dire!

Speriamo che questa brutta situazione del virus finisca presto così potro tornare in sella!

Un caro saluto a te e famiglia, Domenico.

Grazie per l'opportunità di praticare l'italiano Domenico. Spero che torni presto in sella. (Google Traduttore)

Thank you for the opportunity to practice Italian Domenico. I hope you get back in the saddle soon. Guidare sicuro?...ride safe. Mike
