Bright sunshine, but mid-40s. Rode her to work. She loves to roll downtown at 80 on the freeway ...

 
Rode it through Baton Rouge traffic to get a part for the washing machine. Decided that I had earned the right to take the long way home. Rode it over to visit Mom and Pop. Pop heard it and was peeking out the front door before I got it parked. I rode like crap but the bike was wonderful.

 
Touched it. It looked lonely sitting in the garage with its new rear shoe. I really need to take it out for a short ride to scrub it in...hopefully Thursday!

 
Road to work today, a balmy 14 degrees.

Were good,

Put money down on a 2016 ES Gunmetal Grey.
So when is the expected delivery? When are these things comming off the assembly line?

Dave
Sounds like Canada will have them before we do...they already have pricing, and are taking orders. No pricing here in the USA yet, and can't get one ordered either. Just talked to my dealer yesterday.

Believe it or not they are quoting a February delivery. Unfortunately the FJR is not a good snowmobile. Guess I will have sometime to farkle and polish it until the salt is off the road.

Chris, you could get a conversion kit...

 
Not the FJR but I have project xl600R which I am planning to setup for ice riding.

Have you seen this, bunch of crazy Laplanders ko ice racing R1's and GT3's



Only thing missing is a complete lack of free time as I have to prepare my 05 FJR and my 07 Versys for sale. The promise to get that done was the true price of the 16.

Neat video, and if one goes down on ice, road rash should not be a problem,

but if you get run over by another racer, then puncture wounds would be..

Perpetrating the 24K valve check (taking it to the shop). Getting coolant changed since it will be prime time for that and it's due anyway.
