HA! We FJR riders are INFAMOUS....

[TriggerT]

I think that is the first time I have been called an A-Hole for riding too much. I mean, I have been called an A-Hole for a lot of other reasons, but never for riding too much......................Wait a minute, I wonder if that was my wife?!? She thinks I am an A-Hole for riding too much.

All FZ1 owners are ******** and the really big ******** own both a FJR and a FZ1.

HEY! Now you just wait a minute....oh, nevermind. Get off my lawn!

That seems to have been my experience...

Ooooh, you guys have invoked me! Alas for you! News travels fast on the interwebs and the jig is up! :blink:

I am a little put out that seemingly several FZ folks know me as a guy, but hey, what can ya do when you are hiding behind an avatar?

Yes, I am she who must be obeyed. In our garage we have not one, but TWO FZ1s, an FJR and now my 19-year-old daughter's Ninja 250. I've done an accidental SS1000 by going from Laramie WY (where we got stuck in the rain in August with 45 degree temps - I had water running OUT of my boots) to Chico CA in 21.5 hours - one hour of which was circling Reno NV trying to find a decent hotel without success before I told my husband to get back on the #@$% bike we're going to make Chico after all. That was on my 39th birthday!

Previous SS1000 was pillion on the FJR with the CO Freewheelers and the husband has also done one with them on his FZ. He's rather done with the SSs but I'm still keen. I have to fly to VA at the end of the month, and the thought of "if I ride and make it an SS1000 will my husband divorce me" is still hanging tantalizingly in my mind.

I'm also an MSF coach in Colorado, and we do a fair amount of distance riding, 300-800 miles a day is typical for us. Not always up the renown of some of you FJR folks, but I'm in awe of your riding prowess to be sure! The dig was a tease, in case you didn't pick it up, because right below that I agree that we also resemble that remark. We love the FJR board for its research skilled denizens. Frankly, where else can you find a bunch of riders who DO put 3000 miles on their bikes in one fell swoop and report back on the tires?

So I humble myself and ask for forgiveness for calling you a-holes, and assure you it was (mostly) in jest, because if I meant it, I would have used the whole word. I'd include a hot picture of myself, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed. Signed, a fellow a-hole (ask anyone), okaugust

Good post. I did not take offense. I saw the humor in your post on the FZ website. Not sure why so many here seemed to take offense. A few folks have been getting cranky around here it seems.

"if I ride and make it an SS1000 will my husband divorce me" is still hanging tantalizingly in my mind.

I like your style!

If he divorces you, maybe you could end up with ALL the bikes! :lol:

...So I humble myself and ask for forgiveness for calling you a-holes,

I'm sorry, but you ruined the whole post right there for me...believe me, there's no one here you need to humble yourself to. Not a single one.

...I'd include a hot picture of myself, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed. Signed, a fellow a-hole (ask anyone), okaugust

I would NORMALLY clamor for that type of photo, but we have enough photos of a-holes around here...

Glad to have you around...even though there are a bunch of you all around that go both ways...

FZ1/FJR that is.

EDIT: I don't think anyone was getting worked up...I think a few of us were just having fun with it...

Hmmm, I must admit, this has possibities... but he does spoil me and is a great mechanic!

I'm having fun back now! :lol:

It's a photo with Givi, are you SURE it isn't hot enough to need to be posted?

 

[huron52]

I must find these so called jocks that can ride 3000 miles a day. Because as everyone knows..... I never get to anywhere and never... I mean never exceed the posted speed limit.

thanks for shaking the tree .. You'd be amazed what falls out :lol:

 

[Geezer]

I know what you mean about how great it is having people here who are willing to burn up a set of tires in a short period of time and report back to the rest of us so we can have real life information when deciding which tires we want to spend our money on. Without that help I'd never be able to try all of the different tires and pick a favorite before the manufacturers redesign them and make me start all over again.

Oh, FWIW, hot pictures are always appropriate.

My link

Testing 1...2...3

Okay, I can post the link to the photo, but not the photo itself. I'm not usually this internet blonde, but it's not my day today. I'll keep searching for what I'm doing wrong. The message is I'm not allowed to use that image type or file.

In the meantime, yes, luggage turns me on. I've gotten the 3rd Givi since then, as a top case.

The link for your photo needs to end in '.jpg' for the 'photo' button to work. I am not familiar with shutterfly, but it's most likely something on their end.

Cool photo.

Got a sister?

Booyah! Got it! Didn't like the shutterfly, likes photobucket!

No sister, only child, which really explains a lot...

 

[exskibum]

HA!! Good one. Same for the photo -- looks like it was hot that day.

Seems you fit in just fine here . . . that is, IF you don't stop referring to us as A-holes.

Think of it as a term of endearment, like of like when Tom Cruise calls Guido the Killer Pimp an "a-hole" in Risky Business. They really do end up best of buds. Wait, doesn't the double negative mean you want me to continue to call you a-holes?

Well, since I'm properly introducing myself, AND I'm so excited I got the photos to upload, here is another one. This was last summer during the Lee Parks Total Control II class, just about the time I think I was getting heat stroke. And a dang microburst blew my bike over that day. Also blown over were two out of three porta potties, and I was so glad I wasn't IN THEM that the scuff on the bar end didn't bother me so much!

 

[wfooshee]

Ooh, now that is hot!!!!

Givi racks all over the back of the damn bike, and bugs all over the front!

And mirrors just like mine! I feel a little woozy, need to lay down . . . . .
