I seem to be one of the young'uns

[E1Allen]

I know being 24 and in the military I could have went out and bought any number of bikes, but I went and got the FJR instead. I noticed most on here have at least a few years on me, but someone tell me they are younger please...

E1Allen:

Welcome to the forum! You are obviously mature and wise beyond your years if you have selected a FJR. Good choice. Unfortunately, my avatar picture is older than you, but there are plenty of FJR pilots in your age group.

I used to live in Rocky Mount, NC and had riding buddies in the Fayetteville area. We used to make a regular trek down to Daytona for Bike Week and Biketoberfest. I made the trip multiple times on my 82 Suzuki GS 1100 EZ, so it would be a breeze on the FJR. Are planning on checking it out?

 

[E1Allen]

I already requested leave for those days. I haven't been to a bike week yet but I plan on attending this year, and the EOM '07 also.

George Burns once said, 'you're only as old as the women you feel'. I hope there isn't anyone on here that says they're 17.

I thouhgt I was one of the young ones at "39, and so fine!"

I'm a little closer to your age, I'm 28...I had a VTX1300 for about a year and a half, during that period I also owned a 99 corvette. Sold the vette once my son was born and missed the ability to hit the go pedal...So I sold the VTX back in November and starting shopping for a bike that was more "me". I found it!

[E1Allen]

yeah, i was kinda looking for something that I could have fun on, and something that my wife could ride comfortably with me. I guess guys our age still want to go that little bit faster.

Thats basically what I was looking for, fun for me, but wife can still ride. Most of my friends are on faster bikes, I just don't see the need - this one is fast enough for me!

Yup...and if it was capable of going faster I'd certainly test it. Nothing good could come from that.

I don't think the "mature" age of FJR riders is so much a factor of the style of the bike but has alot to do with the initial cost of it. The items I can purchase now certainly would have been alot harder to buy when I was 24. I think many younger riders just don't have the financial capability to purchase ANY higher priced bike, not just the FJR.

 

[E1Allen]

Yeah, expensive bikes aren't on the list of things young riders buy. Although, it was the power windshield that sold me on the FJR

 

[vectervp1]

Yeah, your definately on the bottom end of the age scale around here. Don't let it get to you. When I was at the Iorn Butt National Meet, I was only member there under 30!

 

[irq77]

Sweet! A younger fjr owner! I thought I was the youngest at 31....

If you're ever near Colorado (when there isn't two feet of snow) lets go on a ride!

Actually Bob Dylan wrote and performed the song in 1964. It was performed by Johnny and June Carter Cash, and also by the Turtles, Joan Baez and Nancy Sinatra.
