old guy on a fast motorcycle

[mrjeff]

Just bought a 2004 fjr, currently also own a vstrom 1000. In my 55+ years of riding I have owned many motorcycle, most of them Yamahas . Two things that I haven't done yet is own a Harley or own a black motorcycle and at my age neither will probably happen. I currently live in south Mississippi and have a cabin in northwest Tennessee , the fjr will be used mostly to go back and forth. I am allowed to have 2 motorcycles because my wife was 2 a 650 Vstrom and a Honda trail 125. She probably rides more miles per year than I do. And now for a warning most people including my friends think I am a grouchy old fart who is sometimes full of sh*t.

We all get grouchy when we get old. We’re tired of the ******** and we hurt all over. And we fart more. But we have FjR’s and that makes the world tolerable.

Well, in Fjrforum they say that the Grouch's small heart grew three sizes that day. And then – the true meaning of riding came through, and the Grouch found the joy of ten Grouches, plus two!

(With my apologies to the good Doctor)
