I don't care to be PC about anyone's age, including mine. Hope you are game for this poll.

Frankly I am curious me'self, but for the right reasons. I am curious to know what age group likes the FJR and for what reasons. I think we can all assume that all of us are bikers for many years, certainly not newbies at the sport and passion.

Let the poll begin! :clapping:

ps: I have no idea how poll works at this site, we will see soon :lol:

Guys and gals: This poll is anonymous, poll away. It will be fun to see results

It probably didn't help the accuracy of this 'poll' that I voted in each of the three categories...
That's my point! Very unscientific intentional :glare:

I am obviously bored as I don't have a bike to ride and the weather is so great! in NJ (rare) :angry2:

 
I guess this post was moved by one of you admins.

I wanted to know why this post was considered "completely off topic" and moved? It surely relates directly to FJR and riders of it, their view of the bike and about themselves riding THIS bike! I wasn't asking about hardleys :eek:

I understand you guys are the boss of this place, but be consistent. There are other posts on this forum that have nothing to do w/ FJR (or even motorcylcing) at all and they fly and stay!?

 
Posts are getting harder to read...anyone seen my reading glasses?...Oh, wait, what's this hanging around my neck?...Never mind, I found them... :lol:

46 here...

A couple of weeks ago, on the Dragon, I chased down some junior squid on an R1, and passed him on an inside line with my FJR. Complete with full bags and a loaded-to-the-hilt Givi top case.

46, and yielding NOTHING to the little twits. They can't keep up, and they can't ride.

Old age and treachery defeats youth and skill every time.

 
There is something telling about the fact you bracketed poll ages at 20-30, then 30-40, then the throwaway 40-100 age group. :angry2:

 
If I am over forty I am old, if under 39 i'm alive and can ride, under 20 and i am lost in the bike world.

I would pilot the fjr at any age it is the style of riding and bike I like, I also like all other kinds and enjoy riding them. So no answer for your poll from me, it all comes down to this " CHOICE"

Oh, that is your answer, not age related

I am filling a protest with the NLRB for asking an illegal age question on your quiz!!!!!!!! :yahoo: :yahoo:

 
I tried to vote but:

"Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature, or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the help files for more information.

The error returned was:

You did not choose a poll choice to vote against. Please go back and ensure you click on one of the radio buttons next to the choice you wish to vote for"

:angry2: Radio button was selected, cookie blocker disabled & no reason for error message.

Probably human error. <_<

So give me one vote * My wife hugs me from behind. that's a first because of this bike!

It was all good, here we were in the kitchen, my wife hugs me from behind, I stick my arms out as to imitate driving the motorcycle and we are leaning into the turns as we are: one in the motorcycle universe. :yahoo:

You'll notice most of the owners are old farts. Most of them sly and treachorous. Beware of them and watch your six. Can't trust them ol' dogs.

I selected old age stoopid n00b button. Would appear to be a given and unselectable.... :unsure: :D

This poll is apparently set up so that you HAVE to poll in all three cartegories, 20's, 30's, and OLD GUYS in order for your selection to work.

meaningless polls...ya gotta love 'em :blink:

BTW, when I was in my teens...ALL these categories were OLD guys.

I still feel just as immature now as when I was a teenager.

Yep! You can expect a letter from the AARP and the Attorney General as a result of your inclusive over-40 bracket as compared to your selected, and thus age discriminatory, younger ages by decades.

Sly and treacherous? :dribble: Besides, I thought you had to be in front in order to watch your "six". :lol: Annnndddd, being passed on the inside of a turn by one of the "old dogs" HAS to be experienced to be believed. Its worse when his pillion is waving at you or taking your picture, er, uhm, so I've heard.

Edit: Evidently you CAN"T vote in only one "box" or you get an error message. :blink:
