Steinar Bang's FJ 1100

To replace my stolen '83 Suzuki GSX1100ES, I bought this bike in early october 1994. The bike in question is a 1986 Yamaha FJ 1100, with 52000km on the clock.

The FJ at its winter storage. You can just about see the Krauser bags at the back (JPEG 56K).

Another picture of the FJ at the winter storage. The taxi driver in the picture is Rolf Braseth, who tipped me onto this bike. He bought a different '86 FJ 1100, with a new paint job, himself (JPEG 77K).

Here's a picture of my bike from the day (March 26 1995) when we were caught out in a blizzard. Terrible day. Dropped the bike. Bent the clutch handle and the left front blinker. Cracked the cover of the signal generator. Rolf Braseth, who got his own FJ unscathed back into storage, is shaking his head at the damage (JPEG 58K).
