Those are two awesome looking bikes! I love the color of your FZ1. The full fairing looks great. Do you have any heat issues with the fairing? Yes indeed, I lurked for quite some time on the two forums you mentioned before buying my new baby. I agree the FZ1 is appropriate for longer trips and...

I took it to Blood Mountain the first weekend I had it and the bike performed very well. BTW, I really like your website. The pictures are awesome!

I just picked up a 2006 FZ1 a couple of weeks ago at a very good price and can't be happier with the performance. It looks like it came off the show-room floor and has only 6K miles showing on the odometer. It came with a few farkles that I definitely wanted including a carbon fiber can and...

I have a set of Shinko Verge 011 on my 2006 FJR and I've been extremely pleased with the performance. I now have 10k miles on them and it appears I'll get a couple more thousand miles before replacing them (with another set of Shinkos) for my upcoming cross-country adventure. I had a chance to...

That's a lot of miles per day. I recently did just shy of 8000 on a western odyssey, but it was over 23 days; a much more leisurely pace and better suited to my stock seat. I did pass through the black hills on the way back from Oregon and really enjoyed the western landscapes. Your pictures...

Thanks for reading and you're so right about the number pushing. I can't wait to get back out on the road again. I've never been to New England or Quebec and I hear they are beautiful in the fall :D

Thanks for reading! Even though I enjoyed writing my account of the journey, it's nice to know someone is reading.

Thanks for following my exploits and adventures on the road. Let me know when the next day ride happens. I'd like to meet another FJR road tiger. WDE!

Thanks for looking and setting up the "easy" link.

I'm always open for a day ride and meeting new friends. Keep watching my blog and you'll know when I get back to home base. :D

Ask and you shall receive. Today's route through Idaho was definitely a byway adventure.

I'm currently in the middle of my grand adventure and have reached the turn-around point of Portland, OR. If interested, you can follow my progress at highandby.blogspot.com

I wave low for technical reasons. It's easier to get my hand off the bar without hitting the mirror on my cruiser. I just slide it off the end which is pointing low and away. Since I got the FJR, I'm not getting the waves I used to. I'm a little hurt by this new development.

Greetings from Atlanta. I picked up my new-to-me 2006 FJR from a very nice gentleman in NC with 11K miles about ten days ago. It's in fantastic shape with nary a scratch on it; I can't believe how much I like this bike! A brief history of my motorcycling odyssey: I started riding again about...
