Introduction, Canadian style Eh?

Post by FFFDiesel »

Hey guys, nice to have a dedicated forum for FJ’s, I’m a firefighter in Ontario, just sold my travel trailer as driving south to Nascar tracks is all but impossible and actually getting tedious now that my group is all closing in on or over 50 years old. Last bike was a 86 FJ100 which I’ve regretted selling for many years but with kids and other family responsibilities was the right choice. So , onto bigger and better things I just went and purchased a 2013 FJR!300A from a super nice lady who unfortunately lost her husband recently and had to sell his ride. Looking forward to checking out threads and conversing with all of you. So as we say in the FD, stay low and stay safe. Cheers Eh?

Welcome. You just picked up an awesome bike, best year too.

If you want to fraternize with a bunch of fellow Canucks, I think they're having a little gathering sometime soon. Watch out for the...well, never mind. Have fun learning about your bike. Most of the people here are awesome. Have fun finding out who is and who isn't.

Great, another member of the Invasion Force.

Welcome from the land where our Governors increase the price of license plates every chance they get as well as wind up making them in the prison workshop a few years later.


(That’s Illinois if you were wondering).

Hello and welcome!

I see 2 post reports in the admin log; it appears you're trying to send Rayzerman and geosci a PM with your location; but instead you're hitting the 'report post' option. You can get to the private message (PM) inbox via the link at the top of the page that says "private messages". From there, it's like composing an email.

Thanks,

Wayne
