Don't let these grumpy FJ'ers get ya down.  You are not the first to move on and you won't be the last.  The Aussies are pissed because shit costs so much down there.   (popcorn)

Not everyone understands what a completely rational process this maintenance of a motorcycle is. They think it's some kind of a knack or some kind of affinity for machines in operation. They are right, but the knack is almost purely a process of reason.

Here is the thing...... many FJ'ers i've known to move on from the FJ have gone from bike to bike to bike .... searching for the elusive perfect motorcycle..... the grass always looks greener and all that jazz.


KOokaloo!

Remember where you are..  FJ-land! :wacko3:

My FJ has been gone for 8 years.  Remember it fondly, put > 40k miles on it and it was a great bike.  Man I was freaking out the day I sold it.   Could buy another one at anytime but haven't.  The times I come closest to "missing" it is at FJ rally's, which I still attend as much as possible.  IMO, FJ people are the best thing about FJ's.

Btw, nice bike!   :good2:  Hope you enjoy it, I think that is as close to a modern FJ equivalent as you're going to find.

Yeah, frankly, that is hyperbole. An FJ is still at least 80% of any modern production bike, and a modded one is probably more like 90%+...

Bikes just haven't gotten *that* much better.
