They're spying on us...

Yes, a highly contentious topic title I'll admit...

But before I say anything else, I will also admit that if it wasn't for that "oh-holy-christ-we-forgot-to-put-on-an-exhaust-system" after-thought of a muffler on the new Connie, there could just as easily be one of those sitting in my gargage instead of an FJR (yes, looks are important). I just thought it was mildly funny that the folks (ok, one guy) over on the C-14 board noted that the Connie is being discussed here and a rather subjective debate ensues. Ah, love the one you're with, right?

For the easily amused amongst us (me included) https://www.concours.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=35316

Oh, christ! It's another knitting circle! And here I though we had an exclusive club! Harrumph!

It doesn't read much different than this forum. So what?!?! Most of them are just like most of us in that they bought the best bike for themselves. I figure about 90% of the C-14 owners can outride me, just like 90% of the FJR owners do. Next question?? Now....let's go riding!

Fixed it for ya....

What % of the KLR riders can out crash you? :blink:

Very well put. Thank you. .............thank you.

Aaaarrrrrrggggghhhh! Those "they" people are everywhere... :uhoh:

(knit, knit, knit...)

BFD! Ride what you like, ride it when you like, ride with who you like.

Funny thought to myself......They killed Connie. YOU *******S! Too much South Park I guess.

 

[uctofeej]

Too much South Park I guess.

Simply impossible, dood!

 

[Scab]

There was one truth written on that forum: We are living in the "Good Ole Days" of motorcycling. More choice is a good thing.

That is mean. It must be Mike cause it never crashed for me.

Listen, my former friends and riding companions, nobody can crash a KLR like I can...nobody! If you think riding your bike is fun, you should try the helicopter ride to the emergency room.....

 

[juniorfjr]

I like helicopters.

Do I even dare ask WTF happened..?? I've ridden in more than my fair share of helicopters (with a few really hair-raising trips thrown in for good measure), but I've got to admit that you've got me beat on the ride to the ER. That's a ride that I hope I'll never have to take! <looking around the room for the most solid piece of wood I can find to touch...>

Well, you'd have to look here and here and here. That should bring you up-to-date. I'll probably be home for another 6 weeks or more until back to as normal as I can be.

 

[Bearly Flying]

I'd be cautious about teasing Mike too much. Most of you will be leaving your bikes under his care in Denver :assassin: :assassin:

Duh! I'd actually read about your accident but for whatever reason hadn't put 2 + 2 together..! :blink: I'm certainly glad to hear that you're on the mend!

I've not yet had a bad get-off, but I get a major case of sphincter pucker every time I read about someone that has. I always work from the assumption that it will happen to me and, despite all my best efforts, it's a question of when and not if. Hopefully, it won't be anytime soon..!

 

[OrangevaleFJR]

Glad not to be in that "former" friends and riding partner group. :lol:

 

[Scythian]

They seem like a pretty decent bunch, actually. I'd ride with them.
