I have '08 fjr and live in south SJ, need ride buddies. can ride 5pm to 8pm or so mon - fri and on weekends.

I have two kids and a wife and we all stay busy on the weekends but she knows I gotta ride!! I don't ride

with a death wish (anymore)...... but I don't ride slow either.. twisties are goooood.... I have had dirt bkes,

rice - rockets and cruzer.... now its fjr time so lets ride.... I have had it for about 3 - weeks now and put over a 1000 miles

on it. ......the coast will be great this weekend.....

I really want to go on half day or full day rides around here ( the bay area ), I just got a Garmin GPS to be able to check out

the great BAy Area loops, I keep hearing about ! I will do it alone, but in small groups or pairs would be a lot more fun.

.SEE YA.........................

Nice little trip, we went up 9 to Skyline, then took Alpine road to Pescadero road, then over to 1, south to 17, east to Bear Creek, then Skyline again from the other end, and 9 going the opposite way. Then back to 17 and home.

No problemo Keith is the Man...

 
He found me, then wandered off to find bigger and better people to ride with :rolleyes:

This ridin stuff gets adictive don't it? B)

 
Ray... I didn't wander off.... just out there"grazing"... gotta get that FJR broken in and

go see all the good farkles... :rolleyes: I got to hear different slip-ons and pipe set-ups and

that was really worth it... everyone sz which pipe is good, but I gotta hear um... FJRM

 
== It has come to my attention... that there are more FJR owner/members in the south bay area, but they don't

get involved in local rides very often... I would like to extend some encouragement to reach out and ride with

new members... after all.. it's about the ride and meeting new friends, right? :huh:
