Good to see you preverts are still here. I got really busy work-wise a while ago and then with some home activity, plus repetitive threads, some folks' negativity and the bitchin' was building between FJR oriented forums that I can hear at home or work, so I decided to tune out. I may not be here as much as before but will be checking in.
One change is that I now have my 19-year old as a riding buddy, which has been great! (Yes, I'm the short one.)
Last month had a work trip to a small town in France and took a couple of vacation days to rent this Honda 600 out of Toulouse & ride the Pyrenees:
Cute little back-water town:
A few road shots:
[SIZE=14pt]Holy SHEEEEEP[/SIZE]. There's a lot of free-range grazing going on and the critters like the tender cut grass at the edge of the roads. This was just a pair in the middle of a straight, but it's not unknown to come around a curve and finding horses, cows, or sheep filling the road.
And finally, to keep it FJR-related, stopped by a French dealer in Brive-la-Gaillarde & found this French (lower hp) version:
They include their taxes (about 25%) in the price & Euros are about 1.5 to 1.6 times the dollar, but OUCH!!! We in the US have it good & don't appreciate how much so!
Tyler - WOW - Sorry to hear about your saga, but sure glad to see you're busting outa "da Joint!"
