A gift for all of you stuck in the frozen north

Yup, a balmy 63 in central fla. today. This is our payback for the long hot summer months, but look at that N.C. Scenery!

BTW don't stand in curves to long for pictures. Enjoy!!!

I traded my 2003 ST1300ABS for an 2006 FJR1300A and I couldn't be happier. Well, I could be happier if it was 60 degrees in the winter here in Upatate N.Y. Congratulations and thanks for reminding me what I'm missing.

Hey Spinner,

Where exactly in Roch. do you live? I grew up in Pittsford. Lived for about 10 years in Victor as well from 81 to 91 before coming back to my senses and moving back to my early roots in Atlanta. I own a blue 06. I've got a good buddy up there that lives in the Canandaigua area and rides a Gold Wing. Jesse

Great looking bike and nice shots. Sorry to hear about the drop but I cannot see any damage in the photos? I too got in a few hundred miles today in 60 degree weather. We are very lucky indeed.

I can attest that the FJR is much easier to pickup off the ground than a Honda ST1300. Don't ask me how I know this...

"Oh No" I have to ask............does that gorgeous new FJR now have scratches? :huh:

Um, well... A tiny scratch on the side cover (alternator?); a tiny scratch on the leading edge of the muffler; and 4 or 5 tiny scratches on the lower part of the saddlebag. Got stupid doing a "U" turn on a narrow back road. I knew better. Rather than do what I should have done, I got timid not being used to the bike, and over it went. Zero speed, which helped limit the damage. Still, it saddened me, (I said very bad/unkind words) but hey, it's over with, and I lived to tell about it.

You can find a paint match in the '06 Bin-o-facts for the alternator cover.

The muffler is stainless, so a bit of work with a fine file, then progressively and carefully applied (so as to not make it worse) abrasives will take the scratch out of the muffler.

You now are responsible for finding and posting the formula for paint that matches the cherry color. Congratulations!

BTW, I think the cherry color looks good... I did not have high hopes.

Do I have the honor (horror) of the 1st '07 to bite the pavement? Thanks for the tips, I'll see if I can find someone who is a little less "color challenged" than I am to match the Black Cherry.
