pulled the trigger!

:yahoo: greetings from idaho. i introduced myself a couple of weeks ago and besides already knowing a fjr was the bike i wanted, this forum helped seal the deal. it all came together and the best bike i found was in carson city, nevada. my friend happened to be headed that way.......the bike is perfect! so meticulously cared for, broken in and ready to go. a nice sargent seat, backrest, new stock tires, and a y.e.s. 3 year warranty left. so the first evening i hopped on and rode 70 miles till dark, a smile plastered on. the next morning i awoke and rode the 500 miles home. WHAT A BIKE! only hit a few scatted rain drops, and when i pulled it into my shop at home, the heavens broke loose. it was a window of opportunity to say the least. my only regret is that it close to the end of the season :angry: anyway, one week, and 680 miles later, i am one happy new fjr owner! just had to share jerome

Congrats Jerome.

Riding season almost over? Only if there's snow/ice on the ground!

Get yourself some good warm and dry outer gear and/or some electric underclothes and keep on having fun.

I plan on riding all winter here in Virginia Beach/Norfolk, we usually don't get snow/ice.

Awesome! Be prepared for the longest,(feeling), winter you've ever encountered

Excellent score, jerome, good on ya! B)

Idaho is one of several venues being looked at for next summer's Western FJR Owner's gathering, so you might be a short ride if Idaho gets the nod.

Check out the WFO sub-forum to look at past WFO events....

I'm in New York City & I ride ALL YEAR as long as there is no snow or ice.

Many safe miles may you & your FJR enjoy together!

Congrats Jerome!

You will love the bike, and you live in a great area for riding.

I lived in Ketchum for a while and nothing beats the SawTooths for fun.

I would definately nominate Sun Valley for next years WFO!
