Just going through the garage Library from the 80's,
you know all those good magazines with boobies in them that you read before you re-discovered motor cycles  :mocking:

And there they were  :dance2:

The original FJ1100 sales brochures I got when dreaming of buying an FJ 1100, also the FZ 750 & GPZ 900r brochures,

I excitedly showed the wife," look what I found" :yahoo:

& she says "äre they valuable or something" ???:negative:

The price quoted on the back was $6,300.00 on the road for the FJ1100 :good2:

I only had $5000.00 so went to buy the GPZ, but ended up with a FZ750 & hated it,

I sold it not long after & got a second hand FJ1100  :dance2:

I've been married for 25yrs now, pretty much know how a complex engine works, how the universe evolved, the meaning of life, newtons law, (maybe not) Rubik cube (sort of).......... But, to workout how the female mind works, and acts, remains a mystery that man will never work out. :shock:

It's Because You Don't Fully Understand The Rubik Cube.   :wacko1:
May the road rise to meet you,
may the wind be ever at your back, and
may the sun shine warm upon your face.
