Hello all, My name is Mike and I own a 85 FJ1100 with 16k original miles. Got it from a buddy tht hadn't riding it in 5 years and was tired of hauling it from base to base. Almost done with mechanical rework, just rear suspension and 2nd gear to go, then I start cosmetics. I live in north Texas and work on the bike during the hot summer months right now and ride the rest. Hope to chat ya all soon.

And another Red and White, might be time for another vote..... Welcome Mike from a fellow Red and White owner. But I am not biased or anything....
