    Apologies to those I have offended

    Well to my knowledge you have never offended me either. I just learned really quickly on this forum to STFU and just read. When I did post something that I "thought" at the time to be real I was drug close to 500ft through the mud and basically hung from a billboard with an idiot sign on my...

    Newbie

    It was to me, I decided I wanted a bike, I wanted the best one made and ended up here with a new FJR...then work kicked my ass and I haven't ridden since

    Newbie

    Mine cost me $15,600 OTD so if nothing else you can just be happy you didn't take it as hard as I did :) I bought mine when there weren't really any around to buy so my dealer had to find it and bring it in from a couple states away...they didn't even pretend to smile when I brought up a...

    06 FJR DOWN near Atlanta

    Here is the story straight from my Inbox: Email #1 (From Mark) Guys, it pains me to have to report that one of our newest members went down hard today. We were at Wendy's (the meeting spot around 9:00 this morning. Zsolt rolled in on his new Triumph Speed Triple and said there was an accident...

    DOH!!

    Being that I am still so new here I understand everyones uneasy feeling with believing me but in time you will notice that I have no time for games. I am only 27 but I've been in a board room since I was 15. I quite frankly don't care if anyone can go faster than me, dip lower than me, beat me...

    DOH!!

    Well if I pushed the bike as far as what y'all are scaring me that I did I may need to empty my shorts now. I knew I went FAR beyond my own limits, I didn't realize I was on the edge of the bikes...basically if I read this right...I was within a degree or so of involuntarily exiting my...

    Decisions Decisions

    Well it appears as this makes at least 3 of us here on this forum that started with an FJR. I have a 2006 A and couldn't be happier with it. I have had only one close call so far but I only have 225 miles on it in two weeks. I haven't had any slow speed issues at all so far other than the...

    DOH!!

    Ok never mind I guess. Apparently I have the only FJR that will do this? I didn't say I had mad skills. I fucked up and went into a corner way to damn fast and when I came out the saddlebag had made contact. I'm not here to see whos balls are bigger, you win really, I quite frankly don't care. I...

    DOH!!

    Well it's nothing near as bad as I have seen other complain about but I got my first road rash today. I am still out practicing and getting the feel of the new bike. I have a 5 mile stretch of light to moderate curves that I keep going back and fourth on. When I got to work today I looked and...

    Atlanta FJR riders

    Well as of this point I am not up to the shill level required to ride with a group but I would love to get to know some local FJR owners. Since I am a computer geek, you guys shouldn't post your email addresses openly in forums, this is one of the main ways spammers get your addresses. I'll PM ya.

    Good to hear, I love the hell out of mine as well!!!

    So long new 2006 FJR!

    I hit 150 miles this weekend on mine and it is the first bike I have ever owned. I have noticed that mine is very sensitive but that's about it and most of that I feel is me and not the bike. Mine hasn't thrown anything at me that I wasn't able to handle yet. I just have to be very aware of the...

    Just wanted to say hello quickly

    What an awesome machine!!!! I put a tad over 50 miles on today and had a freaking blast with every one of them. One thing I am noticing is that my throttle hand is getting knumb, is this just a newbie thing or an FJR vibration thing? I put Motovation bar ends on and they claim they're supposed...

    Just wanted to say hello quickly

    Thanks C.R. that was a good read! wheaton, I wasn't actually afraid I was going to wreck. It was just the general tension of doing something that I had never done before and being dumb enough to do it after dark that got me. I know it sounds like I was and I guess re-reading the post I made it...

    Possible new owner

    Actually the guys are lying threw their teeth...I have only met two other FJR riders other than myself and both have permanent shit eating grins. I only road 20 miles last night and I haven't been able to get it off my face all day :)
