The FJ Owners Club was set up in 1993 by Phil Hacker to bring together FJ owners who shared his enthusiasm for the FJ. In the course of its seven year history, the club has exceeded all expectations and currently has more than 1600 members from all over the world. It is run by Phil Hacker on a full time basis with the help of an enthusiastic band of volunteer club officials. The Club has opened its membership to owners of sports tourers other than the FJ and FJR. So FJers who have changed their 'bikes to other models can stay in the club. Friends of members are very welcome to join the club as well as to come to runs and social events.
While mainly based in the UK, the club has
a lot to offer all its members. Club membership entitles you to:

Buying a new FJR and servicing
There seems to have been a constant stream of complaints about bike servicing recently, especially servicing by one of the big outlets. You have probably seen these in the magazines, especially 'Ride'. Members have their own stories too. Now, with the Club, you know that the job will be done well, not skimped and at a very reasonable price.
Joining the FJOC - remember, it's for Sports Tourers as well as FJs and FJRs!
