    Back on an Xj

    lately Ive had a fair few shop bikes in and out. But nothing I could call MINE. Always I knew that they would pass on to a new owner. And the more I liked the bike the morelikely it was that it would sell.
    But now I have a bit of personal nostalga back in my hands. 85 XJ750 (the Xj900 lookalike)
    Its looking fairly sad but the bones are good.looking forweards to getting to know the old gal again after a few years appart from xj's

    Nice one Frosty!
    Had same year and paint scheme, good bikes. Unless you hand your licence straight over to the police, you will not notice the difference between the 750 and 900, the 750 is slightly lighter and more perky. Had no issues with lack of power ever.
    Come join the pre 1990 crew at BFTP, we loves tha old crusty ones ( the bikes, not you)

    Oh, and the Mk1 is all sweet- you may have seen it zipping by your work all wired and sorted.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Ok... I will try and pop in today. Haven't washed it in 500 odd miles but since the last time you saw her- I think the go cart evening back in 2005 - it has got considerably more pimped...

    Tidy unit mate! They were a good bike in their day and should be reliable enough now as well. Looks like it only needs a cut'n'polish!

    "needs" is a funny word innit??All it really needs is the crap off the brakes sorted and the idle settled down. Trouble is once ya get startedon these things ....

    Yeah, before you know it you're noticing little things that could use a tidy up then suddenly it's in a million bits for a full resto!

    Must resist!!!
