Hi Don
Hope you enjoyed your New Years day ride. I suspect it was somewhat drier and warmer than my ride home from the North of England. Fours hours of constant rain along with close to freezing temperatures make me long for our trip to the Pyrenees.
Happy New Year

Happy New Years Dave, I wish you could've been with us, instead of slogging it down the motorway. Were you on the M1?
It was a fantastic day for a Central Arizona motorcycle ride. Forty bikes, sixty people, blue skies and at 20 degrees Celsius.
I am with you, I am really looking forward to our trip to the Pyrenees with Stef and the Italian FJR Forum Crew! Yours, Don

Excellent day & choice of roads ! Thanks Don for helping put on a safe, fun day of food & ridin'. Couldn't have been a better group to ride with. Nothing like a great twisty, sweeper ride with good company at your choice of reasonable speed. Splitting to smaller groups & spreading out made for a safe & memorable day. The 2 new black FJRs sure were looking good. Nice to have met & ridden with some new faces & the usual suspects . . .

It was great to see my FJR friends, as well as my long time BMW buddies yesterday. Very nice to finally get to meet BustANut and Rondo. The new FJR's looked absolutely stunning in black. I'll never part with my 2003, but maybe a black repaint is due!

Same here. It was great meeting everybody. I'm sorry I had to turn back at Superior, previous obligations, but it was worth shooting out there just to put some faces with the names. The beemer folks were great as well and I'm just itchen for the next group ride.

Sorry for the tardy posting....................
What a great way to start the new year! Muchos grassy *** to mi amigo beemerdons for being one of the driving forces for setting this up between FJRForum, FTRG, and the AZBeemers club. A 260 mile ride in some good weather, swell eats, and great peeps, is a great way to get the new year going. And what a turnout. About 40 bikes or so? And, as it turns out, the menudo wasn't half bad either. (At least for the sip I took.) Jane and I had a great time. Can't wait for the Yarnell Hill and Jerome ride later this month.
Here's a few of the photos I took:
The main gaggle of bikes at the Winkelman stop:
Another smaller gaggle of bikes (mainly kraut krap) at the same stop:
Two brand spankin new 2008 FJRs belonging to forum members BustANut and ?????, and vectervp1's 05 FJR. Note Arty-Farty's black wheels and FREEKIN HUGE V-stream windscreen.
More photos of those brand new 08s. Eat yer hearts out all you 08 waiters and snowed in *******s!!! I gotta tell you. I am NOT a fan of black motorcycles, and haven't been inpressed with the photos, but these things look a hell of a lot better in person. If your in to that sort of thing.
Owners in background:
Doub B's 121,000 mile 2003 FJR. Notice anything different?
Apparently, last summer Doug had a run-in with a some sort of critter that left the lower part of his fairing flapping in the proverbial breeze. So what is a cash-strapped FJR pilot to do?
Make a semi-naked FJR!!! It looked pretty sweet, but I told him he needs to polish or chrome those header pipes!!! I was impressed on how clean his high mileage 03 looked. Hell of a lot better than my FJR.
Two riders from the dark side joined us. Here's one:
And last, but not least, after lunch and menudo, in the parking lot we ran into this cool little toy I wouldn't mind having in my garage:
Great times!!!!
