Lol I've seen these. Saw a "contest" at bike week.

Lol perfect

I think I'll do a weekend rent on both. Pack some stuff, do an overnighter. Really see how she likes it. She did mention yesterday as we watched a Harley rode by the "noise" makes her horny.....damn shame Ducati doesnt make a sport touring bike....lol

Funny thing is her friends husband rides a chopper. She won't ride with him. I was surprised she didn't go that route. Why rode one of those dangerous things?

So we went to a friends house over the weekend to watch the game and the bike discussion came up. Her friend said "what do you care what bike your on as long as your out enjoying the ride, it's about the experience". Gotta love it. My sentiments exactly. Later that night she said "I guess...

this Howie? Yeah It sounds as if Howie has had his full of the fairer ***

I appreciated your comments, I really do. In some ways your probably right. I was married 22 years and we really didn't do much together. She was there for my racing but we didn't have a hobbie together that she was involved in. This relationship of three years I have wanted to be different...

Who would have thought that a discussion to buy a motorcycle would become a relatiionship turning point? For some reason it feels like it is. This is just another thing that exposes the differences between us. We are on the same page about a lot but there are some differences that makes...

Great blog. I enjoy photography also. What lenses do you carry with you and do you just pack them in one of the hard cases?

In talking to he last night it sounds like they never rode the Harley more than an hour at a time. She talks about how much fun it was taking it to the mountains and ride. "taking it" meant they trailered the 4 hours up to N Georgia and then rode. It was a 2003 Fat Boy so maybe I can...

Sorry guys I don't have any pics of her in leather and Harley garb. Shes very attractive and I'm sure you would approve!

I don't think all Harley riders are idiots at all. It's just a different taste in riding. That's where this all started and I don't mind the idea of a street glide as its a great looking bike. I'm sure we would enjoy it. It's just when you weigh out the cost andntyennyounlok at the FJR being...

This all great stuff guys and I'm excited. Unfortunatly after about an hour of conversation she shows NO interest. Says she "doesn't like how they sound". Or the gear to wear or that we will just look like a crotch rocket and it won't be as much fun as a Harley and riding around turns scares...

Thanks for all the info. Sounds like we have had the same thought process. Local dealer has a leftover 12 and I think I need to go let her touch n feel and sit on one. That along with all this great information will make my job selling it to her a lot easier. Note B....your right it's not...

Great info guys and I really appreciate the input. Most of the gear I see you wearing seems like its for cool weather and from what I gather protection in case of a fall. What do you do when it's 90 plus degrees here in the south? The Harley guys seem to just have jeans and a t shirt and...

Best place to show her all the cool gear she can buy?? She LOVES that damn Harley store. Also any pics or videos of 2 up riding you guys know of?

have done 2 cruises in the last 15 months. Nobody went overboard so I guess we have that going for us. Plus if it doesnt work god forbide I have a bike I can ride alone...lol. I have a very flexible work schedule and can work from almost anywhere. It would probably get put to good use either way

I am hoping that we can get away with the stock suspension for a while until we figure out if this something we want to get serious about. Hopefully with a little bit of suspension adjustment we can make do. I am sure I wont be real agressive out of the box. I would imagine moving the pegs...

I dont mean to sound like an ***** but truthfully guys my girl and I have not been getting along real well and this is an attempt to do something together that will help. If I was alone, as I stated, I would purchase an FJR. The last thing I want is to be single and on a freaking 20 thousand...

Here is a link to the bike if anyone is interested on giving input. https://www.cycletrader.com/listing/2007-Yamaha-FJR1300A-104911445 I would offer 7400.00 out the door. I live in GA so the tax is in state. As you can see it has a Corbin seat but it sounds like the Russel would be the way to...
