Hello!

First of all I want to say sorry for my bad english. My German is much better but I guess if I want you to understand what I am writing it's better to tell you in (bad) english.
I bought my '91 FJ 1200 ABS last July - and I just love her. She is perfect for me. 2 years ago I rent a BMW Enduro - I hated this bike. Just didn't feel comfortable with the BMW. But when I first got on the FJ it was like she was built for me. I made more than 3000 km until September with this Lady.

I don't know much about motorcycles. So I hope you can give me information and good tips when I have any problems.

Cheers,

Natalie

I think he just asked if Natalie is married and if she also owns a boat.

Per Google Translate:

Hi Natalie, Welcome to the FJ owners. We have members from all over the world who participate in it. What they are part of Germany. I have relatives in Zwickau. Very beautiful country. Once again, welcome and enjoy their new "lady"

But I think I like Mike's translation better,

Jeez Dan,

For such a conservative, you to use Google translation is almost treasonous.  :blum1:

From my translator, it reads:
Hi Natalie, welcome to the FJ owners. We have members from all over the world, are participating. What are you part of Germany. I have relatives in Zwickau. Very nice country. Once again, welcome and enjoy your new "lady"

My German wife will have fits for sure.  :flag_of_truce:

Thanks for all your nice welcomes!
I live close to Mönchengladbach, a town near the dutch border. The sea is far away - so no need for a boat, Mike! :nyam1:

Welcome, Natalie.

I spent 11 years in Germany with the U.S. Air Force, stationed at Ramstein Air Base, near Kaiserslautern, in the Rhineland Pfaltz. Many, many good memories of FJ riding over there.

I sure do miss the autobahn Kookaloo!
