Stereotype: FJR's are only for older fat people.

[FJRay]

Yep,old and fat!

:huh:

+1, Gunny! 62 years old, 245 lbs., 6'-1", 42 x 32 Levi's, 40 Speedo, 38 thong, still fast enough to keep Fairlaner in spotting distance, still able to hold my own in any pub or speakeasy, Irish by heritage and persuasion, and hung like a STUD Humming Bird.!!!

Fixed it.

 

[redtail]

Turned 50 last summer, 5'10" and 200 lbs. wearing 33X34 pants.

I tried to enter middle age gracefully, and didn't like it. So I got out the free weights and moved my bulk up to my shoulders.

Have every intention of riding until I'm old and fat!

 

[MCML]

Over 40, so I guess that makes me old by this poll's definition.

Over 60, so I guess that I won't argue the point.

 

[Niehart]

Who says I'm old and fat?

I forgot, what was the question...

 

[madmike2]

Yep...old. I am not to heavy for my height....I'm too short for my weight.

I'm not out of shape...ROUND is a shape.

One day I hope to be able to actually the capabilties of my FJR, like Niehart does.

Until then I'll just enjoy touring. :blink:

Good luck with that Mike.

Yep, we're all old and fat. Guess what ya pup, you're old too. Get used to it, it's a matter of perspective.

Then remind your buddies that they can't hack it. That's right, they can't keep up with a bunch of old fat guys. Now how funny is that? Hell, even a tall, skinny aberration like Brodie can hit an elk and still ride to the party, have a good time, then ride home. :blink:

48 YO

6'0"

waist 32"

 

[Radzifke]

Pff I'm 45 and just to small for my weight .

 

[ShinyPartsUp]

fat, but that's so my **** doesn't look disproportionately huge. :assassin:

 

[Blind Squirrel]

If I were to sterotype our group I would say the most (not all) FJR riders are older white people.

 

[Checkswrecks]

Yes, I could get the senior discount with the Hardley riders at the chain restaurants.

Maybe it looks like I have. A little.

Then - Those kids don't know what the sticker on the back of my helmet says...

Old Age & Treachery Overcome Youth

 

[Bounce]

I have a few buddies that harass me continually that FJR owners/riders are old fat people. I take a little offense as I'm neither. However, I am curious where the majority of FJR owners fall. Want to help me prove or disprove the stereotype? Please be honest if taking the poll.

Thanks and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

ask them to ride with you cross country and back and see if their little pretzel machines are so fun when they're done. the machine for old/fat people is the Wing or the K1200LT.

The ugly truth east of the Mississippi. Pictures sized not to lie:

 

[lonerider]

I resemble that remark- 60, 6'4" and 240 lb. I like to think of it as "relaxed muscle".

 

[beemerdons]

+1, Gunny! That's an Old Irish trick, Shiny!

OLD AGE AND TREACHERY WILL OVERCOME YOUTH AND SKILL ANY DAY!!!

 

[timk]

I look 81 feel 41, so I'm 61, could still fit in my service uniform. Plus my wife says with pride, she can still wear the same earrings she wore in high school.

 

[maddad]

I'm not so fat that my front wheel won't come off the ground and can out rider 75% of the younger squids that I usually ride with.

But I've calculated that if I dropped to the weight that I should be, I would gain an equivalent of 20 HP. (HP to Weight ratio). Can't get that much HP out of a power commander.

Time to hit the gym.

Still wear 33x32 levi's.

Yeh, me too. A pair on each leg.

But let's not label and disparage a whole group based only on the observation that most of us actually are old and fat. (Those pics from Ionbeam were pretty damn depressing, tho, weren't they?)

 

[Jer]

I am a skinny old guy and still enjoy a fast spirited ride. In my mind I still think young, but a look in the mirror tells me the truth. I will turn 70 this summer and don't have any plans to quit riding for the next ten years at least. My wife is apparently bothered a little with my age, because she told me the other day that if I was going to get another bike I should get with it.

I dunno, the women still look pretty damn good and thats all that really matters.
