Was it being chased by a Spyder?

Yes, yes you were.

That was definitely the wife and I then.

A few years ago I went on the Cafe Press website. I got a t-shirt with an FJR logo and a small pic (I think it was one of Andrew's great pictures) over the breast pocket, and a small "fjrforum.com" on the top of the back side. I saw that you could customize it pretty much any way you wanted, so I centered and enlarged the photo on the front, and moved the print on the back down, changed and enlarged the font, and changed the website URL to the phrase "IT'S AN FJR. BUH-BYE!"

Trouble is, I never ride with just a t-shirt. Maybe I'll put it on a sticker for my side case.

But yep, if Yamaha had H-D's ad agency, we wouldn't have to tell folks all the time, would we?

There are a lot of nice looking Harleys, but there are also a lot that are not comfortable to ride for very long. Any bike that you can't stand riding for more than an hour or two is not worth wasting time on no matter how good it looks.

Oh, I'm not sure I agree with that! 2 hours is about max for me on my FZ1 (with OEM gel seat), but the amount of smiles during those 2 hours is like the number of grains of sand on the beach.

I don't think I would knock any motorcycle company that has been in business for 111 years.

Just because they've been in business for 111 years doesn't mean they make that great a product.

It means they have great marketing.

It amazes me how so many people think Harley is the be all of motorcycling.

I've had quite a few people say to me over the years, "don't you want a Harley some day"

If it wasn't for the Japanese they'd probably still be making the same motor from the 50's.

To me, a Harley is everything a motorcycle shouldn't be.

Poor handeling

Too heavy.

Underpowered

Poor brakes.

Expensive (anything but a Sportster)

Not as reliable

Expensive to work on

Only good thing is they hold their value better than a Japanese bike.

That being said it's your money to buy what you want, they just don't impress me at all.

Are they expensive to work on? I'm surprised. I thought they would be simple to work on.

Lauren, I saw that BMW in Kingsgate late yesterday afternoon.

Was it being chased by a Spyder?

Yes, yes you were.

Caught her, too.
