I picked up my new FJR Thursday night, and it didn’t take me long to hook with a fellow Middle Tennessean on FJRForum.com. Today (Sunday) we went out to ride together. It was my first day of really trying out my new bike on an extended ride over a variety of road types. After logging nearly...

Update: Took delivery of my new FJR1300A late this afternoon. The dealer was able to get one within three days of me walking into the showroom. He tracked one down and had it shipped from another dealer. The irony is that he said he received two more FJRs today that he had no idea were...
