Dear FJ owners forum.....
First of all... am very exited to be part of this forum, and look forward getting to know some of you.. sharing info and support.
I remember the day I saw the first FJ in our local motorbike store in Gothenburg, Sweden. What a beautiful thing it was. No funds at the time meant it stayed as a dream... until now. But I do remember standing at that shop front window many many days... dreaming.
Have recently purchased a UK FJ 1200 89 model.... being shipped abroad, to my present location, where I work at moment. Have had it fully serviced by a great team... the FJ owners club near Bristol UK. Counting the days.
