It looks like an able butt-hammock, but if you say it's the most comfortable in the world, that's all that matters. Enjoy!

Beautiful scenery! Three of our kids live in WA and I keep threatening to take a trip up there on the bike. These photos push me to the edge...

I live about 25 miles from Nelson-Rigg and could ride up any time and have anything 'right now'. When I wanted a tank bag, it was tempting to go for a ride to N-R. BUT, Revzilla had the same item for about 15% less, free shipping, and had it to my door in just a couple days. No-brainer. (Lucky...

Somebody jump - or fly! Good deal on a great package, and there's nothing like a fly & ride "honeymoon". GLWS.

Yeah... heh, heh. I drove to PHX yesterday (in the van, ugh) yesterday and back today. Spent many miles imagining being out there on the 'bird, having done so on the other 'girls'. Gonna have to save such fun for the Silver State!

Great looking ride. Thanks for sharing with us.

I've tried to explain the concept of a "motorcycle shortcut" to my darling bride. She can't understand how, if the distance from 'A' to 'B' is 25 miles, it's a 'shortcut' to go 100 miles. Fortunately, she DOES understand how riding 5 hours/180 miles to Julian for pie is better than Costco.

Yes, but it will be smaller.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I am stunned to read so many stories of folks who used to have a Bird, loved it, sold it, and regretted it. The guy I bought Roxanne from was the original owner, has great memories of 2-up rides to Laguna Seca for 5 years - and hadn't put 100 miles on it in...

I just put the same tire on the 'Bird (T30 GT). Since it'll be my first experience on this bike, I won't know how they compare to others. As usual, my ignorance is bliss.

Thanks for the reminder! There is about the same amount of room on the FJR as there is on the Hondapotamus, but not as far of a reach. And then there's the issue of man-hands...

Anyone heading there from the Left Coast, there are wind advisories across AZ & NM, T-storms from OK to IL. But, hey - looking sweet in Moonshine this weekend!

I just put a set of T30s on the Blackbird. I figured that - at $100+ less than Michelins - they are worth a try.

I make my own dinosaur beads. Save the little silica gel packs that come in electronic boxes: mix them 50/50 with love beads (when the string breaks) and add 40 ounces when mounting a tire. The silica gel removes (oh, alright - sequesters) the moisture. The love beads bring good karma (Dali...

If you are leaving in four days, you might need to reconsider a last minute change. "Everything is connected" and when you make a change in one thing it might help BUT it could shift the problem to something else. A seat pad may help. But it will also raise you an inch, which will shift your...

Well, poop. I've been busy the past few days and just noticed this. About 8 hours ago I had the local shop put a set of T30s on my Blackbird - a day too late for the rebate.

Thanks for the nudges, gang. The deal is done, I "Just Did It" and the garage is a bit cozier tonight. Rose (Wingabago) and Lucille (FJR) now have a new roommate, Roxanne.

I'm either a late bloomer or behind the curve. For 15+ years I've had lust in my heart for the Blackbird. Three years ago I saw one at a dealer and was REALLY tempted, but it wouldn't fit in my luggage (we were in Budapest at the time). Two years ago I bought Beemerdons FJR - and I love it...

Agreed - nice looking FJR. Naturally, the question of two bikes is valid. Until you have two - then the question becomes... Three?

Congratulations!
