Hello
The weather is still cold around here and the forecast says it will take another week or more untill the spring will come(ironically, February had better temperatures). So I will start with some of my old rides and also the first with the FJR.
I previously owned a Yamaha DT125R, a Honda NX650 Dominator and a Honda XL650R Transalp which were all dual-porpouse bikes, so I didn't had too much experience with touring bikes(I had the chance to participate to a BMW Test Day and I tried a R1200RT, a K1300R and a K1600GT). For my first ride with the FJR I thought it should be in a empty parking lot to get used to it. It supposed to be heavy and somehow wierd but wasn't. However, I found the FJR to feel light and nimble after just a few minutes and on the road to the parking lot I decided to take a short trip which became longer and longer(finally almost 200km) even though was a cold 31 Octomber.
November came with good weather and I had a nice afternoon ride to a nearby lake. Here I found that FJR has good suspensions even on rough roads.
Unfortunately the autumn was almost gone...
This is one of my favourite places.
And with another short ride at the begining of December the 2012 season was gone. But the winter was very light and in the middle of January I got the FJR back on the roads.
A short ride with a friends.
And another one
One month ago...
Two weeks ago me and my girlfriend took a trip to a Zoo in another city. It was the first ride with passenger and also my first longer ride with the new bike. but was perfect. Unfortunately the Zoo is in another era and far from the modern standards.
Spring should arrive sometime in the near future so I'll be back with another photos soon.
I hope you enjoyed this short report.
