Hello everyone, just wanted to introduce myself, My name is Shawn, I just recently bought my 87 FJ1200, Found it on the internet for $500.00, It runs really good, but has some minor problems, A fuel leak that turned out to be just a lose fuel line  :good: Now the speedometer went out, and found one on the net for $120. + $15. s+h, Should be here Friday, Hopefully, this will be the last thing for a while.
 
A little about me, I'm a truck driver by trade, but have been laid off since Dec 28 2012, but have been wrenching on vehicle's at my house to keep the bills paid :dash2: man I hate wrenching, I have been riding motorcycles for more than 30 years, and there isn't any other vehicle I rather be driving or riding, I also love to golf, Golf and I have a love/hate relationship, I love to play it, and it hate me to play  :good: thanks for listening (reading) to my rambling, Shawn

I love ta hear that clean smack when a ball gets hit perfect. Pity I rarely get to feel it.  :hi: Welcome Shawn. I can see you`re a patient rider driver - I like quiet Stealth.

the best

Welcome Shawn, it's a good group. I joined last year, they have helped me in many ways. Always offering good advice and they will also tell you if you're heading in the wrong direction. I raced  moto x as a kid, have rode bikes all my life since 13. To date this is best group I have I have seen. Again welcome.

Welcome Shawn, they can't take em' all in the asylum so we ride to stay sane. Good intro, happy to have another Red & White joine the ranks.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.
