Hello everyone.
I am from Poland but "Aries" because I once had a Dodge Aries in the States, a pretty cool vehicle, except it had too many wheels :)

I became the new owner of an FJ 1100, even though the last time I rode a motorcycle was in the early 80s.

As it happened, I bought three motorcycles in a package, because apart from the FJ, I also bought a BMW R1100RS (93) and a Suzuki GSX 600 (91).

Now I'm getting used to the difference between riding on narrow wheels (80'is it was 175 bike) and wide ones now, which makes a big difference, especially on gravel.

Welcome, happy you found us. 3 bikes to ride and work on. Enjoy our campfire and stories of "Kookaloo". It's an FJ thing, look it up.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

Welcome to the FJ family. You'll get plenty of help from the guys here if you get stuck.

3 of us ride our FJ 1200's to Poland in June and made sure we went to the Gorzow Wielkipski round of the Speedway World Championship races. A brilliant event with such friendly people. We loved Poland.
