I wrote this for Bounce, over in this thread:
https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/153006-peer-pressure-ride-to-work-day/page-3?
but I'm pretty pleased with it and think it merits a broader audience, and possibly contributions of additional verses.
Dedicated to Bounce, to be hummed along to the tune of the can-can, I give you
"The Fully Farkled FJR"
Dear Yamaha, never make a car,
We dearly love the FJR.
But we’re going to Farkle it,
Because some parts disappoint a bit.
The wind shield is the first to yield
Got to keep the air away
Next the seat, it’s not so sweet
When we’re riding all the day
Wild Bill pegs will save our legs
On a long stretch of highway
Add Cruise control, we like to roll
Who cares how much we have to pay?
Add more lights, we ride at nights
At the front and at the back
Put the fear in Elk and Deer
(For LED’s please see our FAQ)
Wyn’s Big Foot stand will be grand
When we’re parking on the sand
Penske says “replace the shocks”
In case we’re riding over rocks
Canyon cage is all the rage
Frame sliders are so passé
GPS adds finesse
In case we ever lose our way
RAM ball mount, I’ve lost count
Of the checks I’ve had to send
Change the tires, add more wires
When will it ever end?
The engine’s fine, both yours and mine
We need not change the ECU
Unless on ‘06 we like to dash
Without the risk of throttle lash
Givi’s mount, not Yamaha’s
Will withstand a thousand jars
Just in case you add a case,
To carry the stuff you need to do
Iron Butt, Don’t trust to luck,
A franken tank hangs off the back
Forget all cars, just raise the bars
To give you comfort that you lack
Better far than other bikes are
Is a Fully Farkled FJR
