Strangest thing - I get a phone call from my gen 2 bashing buddy Tony - who you know as 101stpathfinder - Some concern in his voice as he knows a mutual friend that stopped by my house. He (aka mutual friend) wanted to know who the heck I was talking about?

Well, T - IT'S YOU!!!!!!!!

YOU PRETENDER!

Say it isn't so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then again after all the miles Tony has ridden maybe it's time for a more sedate type of ride.

One where every 100 miles or so you attend to electrical failures. I suspect instead of retiring or walking away from 10k in 10 days he bought a gen ll and now has a legit excuse as to why he can't do the miles anymore.

Getting old sucks. :lol:

Jim,

What the heck (?)

Can't a guy go to work (On his Gen 1 05 BTW) without a buddy succumbing to some VICIOUS rumor

started by some NONFORUM, NONFJR person? Yea, he came wondering around here now I understand

the stupid questions being asked. I don't know where he came up with this crap, but for you to believe

his story is another thing all together. You know how cockeyed trigger happy he is. :angry:

Thats just plain nuts thinking I would DOWNGRADE to a Gen 2 POS

Move along folks- Nothing to see here.

Congrats on upgrading Tony! I rode my bike with the seat in the low position after letting a buddy ride it and not sure how I got on for all those years on my knee crampin', wide side casin', thigh burnin', too short a gears, glovebox breakin', spongy seatin', gotta pull over to adjust the headlights, valves a tickin' oil burning Gen 1!!!

Matt... Matt...Matt

Don't fall for rumors

An 08 you ride? Pffft ...

I have to update my sig line

100K ...many more Canadian Providences...shes done 4 10/10ths ...

WHY would I by a shop queen Gen 2 ? I LOVE my 05!!!

 
Well I am confused!

Is Da Wittle Twony a leacherous, traiterous, ugly fool that smells funny and has gone to the Moronside and bought a Gen II FJR?!?!?!

Or is he still one of the intelligent, handsome, sweet-smelling sophisticated gentlemen that is still a faithfull Gen I warrior, brother, and superhero?

Well, explain this!!!!!!!!!:

Those look like Gen 2 '09 or '08 side cases on the top shelf, and nut-roastin' Gen 1 blue cases on the next one down!

Skooter don't be confused and don't doubt the faithful Gen 1 owners bond to superior machinery.

The 2nd paragraph seems to describe me VERY well.

 
Oh my, we may have not one but two tweachourous twaitors? :unsure:
You got something there methinks......... There's prolly a whole secret squirrel gen 2 society going on here!

Outing T is only the T of the iceberg!

Are you kidding me?

Now I see his visit was not by chance at all. "In the area" BS!!!

Brings a flippin' camera (?) Next time he comes sniffin' around here, I'll send him through security

at the airport first. Nosey little gossip starting EXfriend.

As for the pics...

Look at my sig line- 05 BMW Dakar and 05 Yamaha FJR

MY math is good! 2 bikes accounted for...

The black side cases- I'm a gear whore. I shop CL all the time.

Stuff comes up cheap/I buy it- sometimes stuff I don't even need.

My 05 cases are scratched- so I have "Show" cases (The black ones) and

I have every day use cases (The blue ones) This is NOT uncommon...

 
Tony, say it aint so!

When I read this, I thought, that sounds like Tony, but he wouldn't...

...big mile eatin', cert whorin' Gen 1 guy has bought him a Gen 2.
Now here we are and it looks like you're dancing around the issue like a politician. "Yes I have black side cases, but I didn't inhale." "I did not have relations with that Gen 2, 2008." "Read my lips, no new Gen 2."

The truth shall set you free! :D

Well, that DOES look like a gen 1 guy!

It's not everyone that can make an outfit like that work..........
It may be a Gen 1 guy, but he is clearly riding a Gen 2 bike. Cobalt blue, those weird lookin' Gen 2 mirrors and big FJR emblems on the side panels. Yep, that's an '06.

Nah... I trust Tony. A pair of black side bags on the shelf does not a 2nd gen owner make.

 
This is FUNny stuff! Same ship goes on in my Jetski & Snowmobile forums lol. Peeps there are so stuck on 'their' older machines (and granted that's what they're use to and feels comfortable to them etc). Some won't or can't upgrade b/c of funding or maybe wify's got the nards under wraps but it is the exact same stuff and you got to admit it's entertaining. G1 or G2 and wait.. soon the G3 riff will enter the mix!)

I know one thing, your bike IS better than mine (cuz it's yours!)

Carry on fellas :)

Yup, goes on over on the FZ1 forums too. And they have actual real differences between the Gen's (carb vs FI, tank size, etc) there rather than some minor differences between the Gen's here. But the guys here are way more defensive of their particular generation it seems. :D
