FJR Milestones - Places you've been

[wheatonFJR]

... I do believe the WV Ramble was when I met both of you guys. What ever happened to Mike (Yamahaulic)?

Yep, I do definitely remember that week in 2006. Mike rearranged the Ramble to coincide with the STN National. I met BugR and Acadian Rider (a great Honda ST1300 rider and STN member) down at the Snake and the Smokies before the STN meet.

Heidi, you led a ride that led through Smokehole Road and other places...here's the gang on Smokehole Road

Mike started doing his own thing in 2007 after leading rides for a number of years. I know he and his wife did a lot of boating. I'm sad that Mike isn't involved, as he was instrumental in showing me the sport side of touring...but I understand that people move on...I just don't have any plans to be one of them. I love touring and riding the curves too much to quit.

Until this thread I've never understood why I've heard the FJR referred to as "An old man's bike". Now its perfectly clear. Bill (Young at age 64) Love the pic's

Gathering In Morro Bay

...I could keep this up all night, but you get the idea.

Man, I wish I was at that Morro Bay gathering.

Dude...those are some awesome photos/memories. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, I "think?" everyone gets the idea.

Great times, No?

Let's Ride!

EDIT:

TWI... typing while intoxicated... lol! That was a fun time, Mark. Going from the one meet right into the other was fluid, wasn't it? I have pics, also... & I can see for sure, I've definitely lost weight.

And who could forget the Illinois Rolling Cluster Feck of May 2011…

It's difficult, but my therapist says we're makeing progress.

You know you've covered a lot of territory on your bike when you end up here.

Only one thing to do........................................keep riding.

Hi all,

You have great trip and parties I see))

I have no photos with a finger... and I even did not rode my FJR yet - so I have nothing to post in this topic I guess))

How can I post here a photo with a H.nda, you name it

But I have a question about a rear tyre of this bike, it seems quite strange for me.

It's an automotive tyre, not a motorcycle one, am I right.

But why?

Sorry if my question is a 1001st about it

Good question. However, to keep the "Darkside" discussion out of this thread, please click this link and read all about it.

Please, no more darkside crap in this thread about FJR Milestones...

Well, as an excuse - my small Milestone, it's May2011

Good riding conditions, huh? )

The way to that point

Thank again, gone reading
