LOL! I just saw the thread.If you need help zeroing your trip meter, just call on me. I know.
Oh, and you'll like it.
It's a '14, so not quite new, but pretty damn new anyway. I abandoned the fly n' ride idea when I started looking at nearby used FJRs and added in the non motorcycle-related expenses of flying, traveling home, etc. compared to a simple local buy. California has some extra restrictions on bringing in a used out-of-state bike too. But I'm real happy with my pretty red FJR.LOL!

Duly noted. I shall reference it when the time comes.
I don't know if I knew you bought one. When did you go from looking at low mileage fly and rides to buying new?
Outstanding! Congrats to you (assuming I didn't already)! Do you like the ES?It's a '14, so not quite new, but pretty damn new anyway.

Thanks. Funny thing is, ever since I got the '14 I've been so busy getting the '05 ready to sell I've hardly ridden at all, and that includes experimenting with the suspension. I don't see how having all that flexibility can be a bad thing, however. The bike is so sophisticated there's a LOT to learn and get used to. Not just the ES part, but the sport/touring selector and the traction control and the so very complicated dash readouts. But I plan to start getting deep into all of that right away. The '05 is on the market now, so I don't have to spend any more time de-farkling and prepping it. But I would kind of like to have somebody come over to the house real soon with a mitt full of cash.
Thank you. I should be in pretty good shape figuring out the menus; I've had the FJ-09 for a full year and it seems much of the display is the same. I'm a little unsure still how I feel about letting go of the FJ-09. It IS a fun bike. I loved it at the beginning. The things that bugged me about it a little bit now bug me a lot. My experiment on the '08 FJR I bought recently and the subsequent sense of loss after I let it go prompted me to jump on this deal.Thanks.
