New XJ rider from Estonia
Posted: Wed May 13, 2020 7:19 am
Hi everyone!
As I bought the XJ to myself, it is time to join with xjrider family!
When I talk about myself then I can say I have driving experience in two wheels about 33 years. I started with 50cm3 mopos when I was 7, I think. Maybe 8. Several years I used these small mopos and then got some 250cc-s and 350cc-s. The last Soviet origin bike was -91 Jawa 350 and I still have it. No in use, though. It was made in Chehoslovakia in soviet times and the model is Jawa 638. Quite unique in these days but not very well constructed. The level of quality is not that high, the durability is poor. But anyhow, it is fun to drive!
Then there was some 10-year gap when I didn't drive a bike at all. Four years ago I thought I need some modern bike and bought FZS1000. I have driven with it every season about 6-8000 km and I love it. It is goodlooking and it has power. I can drive together with my wife and performs well everythere. Our season here is about 6 months and I use this bike a lot to drive around.
In winter, for my 40th birthday I bought -91 XJ600. The idea was to start a new rebuild with it to build a cafe or scrambler. I'm not quite far yet as there are some problems, but I'd like to be hands on, so this is actually very satisfying. I will a start a new topic under other section about my rebuild. Of course I need some advice for it, so help is welcome!
Thats some words about me. Hope to get some good advice and good friends as well from here.
