I bought it!

[jwhite518]

I suppose it was inevitable. The big question is, why did it take me so long? Last night I became the owner of a 2005 non-ABS, purchased from a forum member who took meticulous care of it and farkled it quite nicely. Today we got to know each other, stretching the trip from Irvine to San Leandro into 460 miles of two lane twisties, wide open straightaways, and nary another car in sight. My first impression?

That is one helluva windshield! I'm not huge on stickers but those are well done. Nice bike.

Nice ride.

How about a close-up of those aux lights and how they're mounted.

Congratulations! It is a great looking bike. Smart move to buy it from someone on the forum. It is a great network.

YOU DOG!! That's DocDan's old bike isn't it? DocDan is now bikeless.... :dribble:

Good for you! Nice ride. Enjoy!

I was going to give you crud saying something about it's too late, all the forum members sold their bikes and the forum would close or something goofy like that. I then I saw the pix and recognized Dan's bike. Crazy. :blink:

Congrats Jerry! Bout frekin time!

I though you were going for the 'most posts without an FJR' award. Many happy miles to ya. And at least you no longer have to worry about final drives.

Look like PHIDs to me. Most likely mounted with FJRGoodies 'Top Gun' light brackets and Bill McAvin 'U' brackets. Lots-o-info on that combination around.

Man, I need to start posting more.

Grats on the new ride!
