No it's not a BMW

[Toecutter]

My old man had the Fireman Union stickers in his back window for years. Still got tickets.

By the time they see my emblems, it's already too late....

Well, that would be straight from "Spider, the untold story". Too bad it didn't remain untold.

I like that there is minimal badging on the FJR and it can't be identified easily. And being called a BMW is not really a bad thing. Just smile and say, it's an FJR by Yamaha, that usually starts up a nice conversation.

Hey Toecutter I agree with you on the FJ-40 thing I have a 77 fj-40 and 82 fj-60 and when they say "nice JEEP" I just say thanks it's not worth correcting them.

Sorry, I missed you Smitty, yea I saw the trike, but I was more impressed by the "landing gear".

Ah yes, '77 was a fine vintage. Mine was a '71, but I added a TBI 350/SM420 combo and power front discs to make it go good and stop in a straight line. Sold it to a buddy 7/03 and I can still drive it and work on it whenever I want. Never owned a 60 but coveted many. I still have my '93 FZJ80 though, for family camping trips and such....

FJRandy, got a picture of your BMW sticker?!?

Hysterical!

Is BMW now a generic term for Sport Touring mc's? Kinda like KLEENEX?

You'd think folks would realize that if it didn't have that little blue and white badge on it, it wouldn't be a bimmer or beemer.

What's funny is when I'm standing there with a YAMAHA jacket on. Of course I have also been know to wear a 100th anniversary Harley jacket while riding the FJR. I do get some strange looks. More than normal. Maybe I should get a BMW shirt or jacket, just to REALLY screw with 'em?

I don't even correct anyone any more, unles they specifically ask. I just go with the flow. However if they ask me what kind of YAMAHA it is, then I usually bend their ear.

There's a course for that??!?

Funny, I have a 86 FJ1200 and I get a lot of "Nice Ninja...."

:huh: Well I just got my fjr 5 days ago and just after droping a line on this post I stopped at a store walked in and the guy asks "IS THAT A HARLEY" Yea it's a yamadavidson it's new do you like it. So far this bike is a blast I don't think my tire's will last long.

 

[NovaFlyer]

"IS THAT A HARLEY" Yea it's a yamadavidson - cartfj40

<lol> .... Good one. I tend to use 'Yamahog' when I ride my Roadstar. You want to talk Harley confusion for the masses, the Roadstar is it. Had even some Hog posers step their foot in it which is always a fun sight to see <lol>.
