I Know I Announced This on the "New Members" Page, But...

[Smilin' Kyle]

[SIZE=12pt]I don't think it gets better than this: Gorgeous weather for the weekend and a new, black, beautiful, sexy FJR in the garage. :yahoo: As the famous "Far Side" cartoon says: "What to do, what to do, what to do."[/SIZE]

Okay, it's not that perfect--I have a deck to finish--but I'll get some seat time, for sure.

I've had some motorcylces that I've really liked. I considered my just gone K12LT to be "good looking." I think the 2008 black FJR I just brought home yesterday to be "absolutely stunning." I'm sure others with another colored FJR would say the same.

I am just amazed how much easier it is to ride compared to my K12LT. (Of course, they are two totally different machines intended for totally different purposes.) It's incredible what dropping just about 300 pounds will do. (I should keep that in mind when I'm barbecuing up those racks of ribs, pulled pork and brisket sandwiches.)

Most of my riding is as a commuter--parking lots, backroads and highway to the junior high where I teach--with some trips on occassion. This machine is perfect for that.

I'm excited to get connected with my fellow Puget Sound and Northwest FJRers. I'll be snooping for wrenching sessions and get-togethers.

After today I know I'll need a taller and wider shield and bar risers. In the fall I'll add heated grips.

Well, gotta go. I need to go tuck my baby in for the night.

Congrats again Kyle.

fjrdego, tabacco valley. You have some great riding there. I've been lost up in the Yak many times. Do all roads lead to the Dirty Shame?

Very nice Kyle, can't wait to see more pics of a black beauty. If you're free on Sunday, hop a ferry and meet a few of us at Lynnwood Cycle Barn at 1:00 PM. Sound Rider is presenting a pack right - pack lite seminar that is full of good information.

Hope to see you there.

Damn, pack right, pack lite seminar! Sounds like a good idea. Sunday you say?? I'll see if I can drop by and catch that! WPB, FL isn't too far! Is it? :dribble:

Welcome Kyle, and you KNOW most of us intimately understand that tingle you feel.

I'd been riding a '97 Blackbird when I got my FJR, so I wasn't deprived of nice motorcycle hardware either. But there was something about the FJR from the moment I pulled out of the dealer's parking lot in Carson City on April 15, 2005 on the FJR. Honestly, I don't think I have ever had a stronger feeling of "this bike is everything I had dared hope it would be" than the FJR has given me.

Enjoy!

--hijack-- :lol: Of course not. With a couple day head start you could have made it with time to spare. If you're interested check out the information at Sound Rider. No affiliation but decent info. -- hijack over--

OK, it's "Tomorrow" where are the pictures?

P.S. Congratulations and welcome to the club, I am probably the closest FJR owner to you.

Are you going to WFO?
