FJR Mileage Milestones

[Mount Rainier]

Bad news today, totally surprised me, my mechanic says the 04-05 FJR won't start due to low compression. Looks like the Donor Bitch will soon be dressed with plastic again and put into full service. I think I will part out the 04-05 unit, save a few pieces like wheels.

I wonder if anyone will notice the new plastic Ken. It didn't seem to matter to anyone when you ran it stripped-down. Not even you!!!!

Keep Going!

I covered a reasonable portion of the US while I lived over there, but there are still plenty of places I'd not had the time and money to get to, one day I hope... And have been actively exploring Japan as time and money permits, it's a damn site more expensive to ride over here, everything from 2-3x more for tires, gas and expensive tolls on the hwys, when you need to use them.

blufjr...could you please move me up to the 100,000 mile club.I finally reached 100K last weekend.

Most of my friends and guys I work with can't believe I put 100k on one bike,but checking into this thread I feel like a pup looking out the window at the big dogs.

Good job Den! Knowing the crappy roads around your place, that's a real accomplishment

I'm about 4000 miles short of 100K. I was hoping to bag it this year but it'll be next spring for me. Snowing out right now

Blasphemy I know, but I'd find a couple of days to trailer her down to Cali and rack up those measly 4k

My bike has never been on a trailer, and never will, unless it's busted or stolen. How about I just ride it to Cali in the spring?

Like I said blasphemy, but I'd make an exception when the road is impassible, still I proudly display a sticker on my rear fender that reads: "If you see my bike on a trailer, call 911".

In 150K my FJR experienced a trailer only 2 times, once when they picked it up to ship to Japan and the second when my R/R burned out in BFE somewhere at the Western Most Point of Japan (figures right), I hate that Murphy guy :glare: I was quite upset that I didn't have a chance to ride back home.

It would have taken over a week to order and receive a new R/R out there, and I had to be at work the next day. So had to take pretty much every form of public transport known to man to get home: hitched a car ride, caught 2 different buses, a train, a plane and a taxi :blink: My FJR was picked up by a road service I subscribe to and delivered to a near-by dealer about a 2 weeks later, where I installed the new R/R.

Had a 6 hour window of great weather and lots of nice gravel to ride this afternoon.

 

[rocketdoc]

My'04 turned over 100,000 original in June in Hereford Oregon. Met Rog&Deb that night by sheer luck in a restraunt in John Day Oregon. Great place for a Rally.

Still in love with her after all these years.

 

[SkooterG]
