So the first bike that scared the poop out of me was when I was about 13 on the back of my cousins fj1100, I was hooked. After years of looking for the right one n either having other bills or whatever or it was gone the day before getting the cash. I found my 92 FJ1200 in Iowa on craigslist. A Dr. bought it new n its only got 21k miles always garaged n shop maintained. New Avon's, battery, came with tank bag, cover, and a little rack, and Vance n Hines pipe, for $2150. It got dropped so has a new factory ferring this thing has been babied. I'm getting the seat shaped lower n recovered blue n silver leather w matching teal piping just because. I hope to help others w projects as much as I know all of you will help me.  :good2:
So dad asked me why I pack my 45 in the house....God damn decepticons I told him. We laughed, the toaster laughed, I shot it, it was a good time:-) Had to share that haha

Welcome to the club. Too bad you got the wrong color. At least you can still enter the Kookaloo zone of fun.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

If your gonna fling the crap,then you have to expect that someone, thinking you lost it will be polite enough to fling it back.... It all good fun with the FJowners. And very polite I might add....
