Put the FJR to the test

[jerseyjoe]

Just got back from a crosscountry trip with the wife and myself!The bike ran great almost 8000 miles.Changed the oil halfway through .Its ready for another now!Took the north route out and the southern one home.

Left new jersey on 8/20 and home today.This was the reason for me buying this machine and i'm glad I did!

I left aug 2 and looged 8200 miles on my 2014. The bike performed flawlessly. Like you I want to make that a yearly trip.

So, Jersey: did ya take any pictures? Do we get to see them? Are ya planning on telling us any more about the trip? Empty minds need something to do around here, especially mine...

Oh and by the way, you DID NOT put the FJR to the test. I learned that years ago when I flogged my Galaxy Blue Beauty 16 hours a day for 2600 miles... that the only thing being put to the test was ME.

The first part of the trip was getting out at least a 1000 miles.Once we got into the south Dakota this made it worth while!No offence to the states in between!Three days total in SD,we want to go back and spend at least a week out in that area.Montana was really nice country another area we want to go back to.The 80 MPH speed limit helps but the wind killed me!More to follow don't want to get to long in the tooth!

Have you seen some of our Ride Reports? We like them all.

Nice ride. Test for the FJR? Hardly! You are just getting started.

By all means type up a ride report and include photos! Please?

Many unfortunate desk jockeys have to live vicariously through other forum members......Plus it's good karma to give a little back to all the folks on here who help out.

"...17 ROSWELL NM -- NO UFO's..."

Now I know this is all a hoax because if you really did ride an FJR through Roswell, the aliens would have kidnapped you and taken your FJR. No alien in his right mind would pass up an opportunity to own an FJR !!!

I've thought about visiting the Dakota's one of these days. Don't blame ya for wanting to go back.
