Update Me: Opinions Welcome

Congrats on the new bike! I've been a follower of your exploits BEFORE you retired so I can only imagine the miles you will put on this bike.

I wonder if the new FJR said, "Oh Crap! Not this guy! I'll never get any rest!"

Just kidding, of course. Ride safe and keep inspiring me.

I would think just the opposite @Goodman4. I think the bike is saying - Finally, so much to see and I'm bored of just sitting in the garage.

Ha! You may be right. I was picturing it like a runner being bored because they weren't ever getting out to go for a run and Tony shows up and she realizes she just signed up for a perpetual marathon!

It looks like you bought the bike in eastern New Hampshire. Just curious: Was it a private party or dealership?

Private sale. VIN numbers were consecutive numbers. Side by side on the assembly line!
I had about 10 work hours to get the parts off that I wanted.

I wanted to dig the starter out, but ran out of time. Forks were bent.

Dang. That black frame looks so weird naked.

I think you did pretty well. 10h and the bike is pretty striped. I recently serviced my swing-arm which at the time I thought was pretty invasive. It took me 4h just to get it off. So you removed a bunch of stuff in your 10h of time - good job.
