Couldn't Stay Away

[MIST]

Quite a while ago I traded my '07 FJR for an '08 BMW R12RT. At the time I thought it was the right thing to do. I didn't have the RT very long before I traded it for a very low mileage '07 BMW K12S. Kept the K12S for 6 months, then traded it for a new '09 Ducati Monster 1100S, which I still have. Until recently the Ducati shared garage space with my '08 Triumph America that I got in October of '08. That all changed this past week when I was on the computer checking out different motorcycle sites and dealerships. I stumbled upon an '08 FJR with 380 miles on it at a dealership about 85 miles away from home. A short road trip was all it took. Needless to say, the Triumph has been evicted and the FJR now occupies the vacant space. I had forgotten how much fun this motorcycle can be. Now when I want to take a ride I have to decide what I'm hungry for, Italian or Japanese. I don't think I can go wrong either way.

Both those bikes are awesome! :yahoo:

Welcome back.

I have to get another Duc. I miss her.....

MIST, my professional diagnosis is that you have commitment issues.

But I agree that if you have to choose, Italian and Japanese are the best.

They also make excellent motorcyles.

Welcome back....and how many wives have you had? Hmmmm! Tend to agree with Hudson.

Diversity in the garage is a natural thing, and makes for a better rider, and one who understands that 1 motorcycle cannot be everything. You need at least 2 more, totally different in catagory.

Hey - I got it right! I have my FJR, a BMW G650GS dual sport and a Yamaha TTR-125 dirt bike. Great combination. With those three bikes, I can ride anywhere.

Welcome back! That's the problem with motorcycles - - so many bikes, so little time.

thats an awesome story, it's hard to go wrong with those 2 choices of rides. I've ridden the RT's a couple of times and much prefer the ride of the FJR.
