Hello from Eastvale California

[realdutchboy]

Hello everyone,

I have owned my first FJR since 2008. Bought it brand-new and as it stands it has 168,000 miles on it. No issues no drama. I bought a 2013 Gen3 about two years ago. That one has 68000 miles on it (barely broken in..) I use it to commute every day just like I did with my 08. The 2013 is completely stock. My 08 has Delkevic pipes and and an Ivan tune. It still runs like a champ. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all the valuable information on this site. I have done all the maintenance myself on all my motorcycles for as long as I can remember. Also in the stable are my wife’s 2009 Yamaha FZ6R and 2012 Triumph 675R. A bike for every mood as it should be right?

Great lookin machines, and if you are ever anywhere near Fresno/Clovis and need anything, give me a holler and I'll come running.

That GMC looks interesting too.

Aah yes, it’s a ‘75 GMC K25 4x4 Sierra Grande. New 350 engine, driveline rebuilt, sitting on 37” Humvee tires. It’s a time machine really, sure feels like that when I drive it haha!

Silver or black. Always a hard choice! Love that black one.

Yes, I love the black one for so many reasons but I couldn’t pass up the 2013, too good of a deal. The silver color did grow on me, still wish that one was black too though.

One hour to the west.
