First, thanks for this forum. This is very usefull place in internet for us, who own Yamaha FJ  :good2:.
I bought my FJ 1200 about a year ago. I have been member since then. Well, little late introduction. My FJ is from year 1988 and she has 86000 or 186000km in clock. But still going strong  :good2:.
We have long winter here so driving season is only 4-6 months max. But there is lot of time in winter to work with bike and I am lucky to have a warm garage in my house.
Even FJ 1200 is quite old bike, it is very well made. Some years ago Finnish police, for example, used FJ:s in duty. So, I had  Yamaha XJ 600 Diversion after FJ and when I wanted bigger bike, was FJ the first option. And so... here I am  :greeting:.
I wish safe and funny riding for everybody FJ owners.

Yes... ice speedway :good2:. When I was eh... many years younger, one of our neighbours had a speedwey bike. Interesting machine it was  :smile:. And some people like drive in meter thick snow with their enduro bikes. But absolutely hardest was that guy, who drowe all year round with his Honda Gold Wing. He had skis both side of bike and spikes in the tyres  :good2:. Ice, snow or frost, he did not care.
