Ex-Pat Brit - emigrated to Texas in 1986.
Had a Yamaha commuter bike in England prior to leaving. It was a miniscule 100 or 125 2 stroke back then.
Always wanted to get another bike, but marriage, kids, work blah blah blahd.
2 years ago bought the FJR after getting my motorcycle license - downright intimidating to start with but now 4500+ miles in I love it.
Longest ride in a day 350 miles - more worried about my body and how it would hold up versus the bike!
Been working and living in San Antonio since 1989
