I live near Cincinnati, Ohio and while I was out today there was a black FJR pulled over. It was on I-275 near Milford. Anyone want to fess up?

Don't usually see many motorcycle pulled over here. Which is a good thing. Either the police are not out to target motorcycles or most riders are following traffic laws ;)

 
Wasn't me cause mine is blue.

There is a black one in Monroe that I've passed a few times but haven't met him yet.

It wasn't me. I live in Alexandria, KY but mine is Blue and I'm on the other side of the world right now.

It could of been Jonathan. He lives in California, Ky and has a black one.

 
Wasn't me, I was riding southern Indiana this weekend. I do, however, plan on being in Cinci this coming weekend. I hope this isn't a foreshadowing of things to come.

Maybe the cop just wanted to look at the beautiful FJR...That happened to me one time on a classic Triumph and the cop admitted it. :rolleyes: :D Bill

Drive sensibly and you won't have to worry about it.

The cruise control is one thing I miss on the FJR vs. the Goldwing.

The ThrottleMeister will take care of that! :lol:

 
I have noticed I'm getting a lot more "looks" from cops on my FJR than I ever did on my Honda Shadow Aero. I had straight V&H pipes on the cruiser, loud as heck and I didn't exactly drive slow... but I'm of the opinion that cruisers get a "pass" to a certain degree. Even had a deputy look at me and wag his finger once when I was at 40-something in a 35!

The FJR gets more suspicious looks, been followed once for a few miles by an officer than pulled out of "stationary patrol" to tail me. Wasn't going too quick, but he was lookin'! Kinda worried this might be a bad omen, but SHEESH this thing is hard to be sedate on! :p Need my V1 on all the time and constantly think "slow, go slow" which keeps me only slightly quicker than the speed of traffic. hehe
