TerryJ from southcentral Montana,
Congrats on the new Feej. You'll have no regrets.
Where you live? Billings? I bought my '03 FJR used with 1300 miles in Feb. '03 from a Billings guy named Luther James. I think he worked at one of the refineries. He had an HD and 'Busa in his garage, too.
I have 44,000 on her over five seasons, and would have 50,000 except three of the five seasons got cut short due to: 1) having the bike stolen, recovered, totalled, bought back and restored; 2) hitting a rock in Idaho and bending both wheels and 3) a get-off aboard a GSXR-6 rental at a Firebird Raceway trackday last fall that kept me off bikes for six weeks and caused me to leave my honey in Mesa, where it resides presently. I will go fetch it soon.
Anyway, I have been riding Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Washington and BC for better than 20 years and have started to learn Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. I've also ridden part of the Mississippi Valley. We have some great riding in this country: Bighorns, Beartooths, The Flathead and Yaak County, the Idaho Panhandle and so much more.
If you ever want a fellow FJR pilot to tag along - or lead the way - let me know. My wife and I are game just about anytime. We love to tour but prefer a "brisk" pace. PM me and we'll do the Beartooth Highway, Chief Joseph Scenic Byway, etc. as soon as it melts out and opens - first weekend of June?
