Just picked up my birthday surprise.....2017 ES!

[rdrasher]

Congratulations when you have time post a picture of that black beauty.

Speaking of posting pics....

Does anyone know of a good pic hosting site that is free to use?

Photobucket wants to charge a monthly fee.

That's outrageous. You should start a thread about it.

Nice gift! And if your bike is anything like the google images I found it is one nice looking machine! Very modern looking for the year. Maybe keep it around as a back up?

This red one looks real cool, where's the front suspension?

On that bike, it has a single sided front suspension, on the left side. I have no idea how it works though.

Happy Birthday and congrats on the new FJR. And no, I'm not buying you a Russell Day Long Seat. Nice try!

I wish I would get bday presents like that. lol

Thanks everyone for the congrats.

I just got some goodies in the mail today!

T-rex FJR sliders, mc enterprises rear luggage guards, & a techmount stem mount for my Zumo 660lm

 

[rdrasher]

Put on the Techmount, T-rex sliders, and MC enterprises luggage guards on today. Looking good against the black bodywork.

 

[Ditch]

Those are my favorite sliders, look almost factory-ish. Good choice.

Happy Birthday and congratulations on the new ride!!

 

[rdrasher]

Thanks everybody! Unfortunately I didn't get to ride today on my actual birthday. Too busy prepping for hurricane Irma down here in FL. OH well, next week. lol

 

[art miller]

Thanks everyone.
It feels weird, I've never had a new bike so it seems like I'm riding someone else's.

Better get that bike to higher ground!!!! the storm is coming!!!

Fortunately I'm in the center of the state, just north of Orlando.

 

[Bogie]

Congrats!!! Keep both bikes. The other one is just too cool to get rid of.

Well happy happy birthday! At my age I was wanting to forget birthdays. But if my wife started buying me presents like that I could start getting my memory back real quick. Enjoy! p.m.

 

[rdrasher]

Well I was disappointed to see that my right side luggage emblem already fell off the bike after only a few weeks of ownership. But it's to be expected from what I've read. Now both sides are gorilla glued. After delivery I double checked my saddlebag locks and even though the dealer assured me they were loctited, they weren't... sorted that at home. Today was a good Ebay day! I scored a NIB Yamaha oem comfort seat for a best offer of a $100. Now to convince my wife that I need the touring windshield. lol

 

[RaiderBill]

You do need the touring windshield, women just do not know these things. That was a great score on the seat.
