As a newish Forum member (4/10/08) I delivered (rode) my 03 Dyna Super Glide Sport to the new owner yesterday in Clovis, and am scheduled to take delivery of a new 07 FJRA tomorrow at LA Yamaha (OTD Cyclesports, $11999 out the door - cheap!). Happy/sad day, as I have genuinely enjoyed the black beauty and have had 23K virtually trouble-free miles, and yet really excited to be getting a feejer and moving up to a new level of performance, technology, comfort, etc. (have watched them since 03 on the road and in cycle rags). In a perfect world would have kept the FXDX, but two street bikes not in the cards for now (later for sure).
I will be trailering the bike home (200 mi) as I do not want to break in on I-5/Highway 99 and would prefer to do the initial riding on my local country roads where I can better control traffic flow, etc. The mileage is certainly not the issue as 200 miles is a good Saturday ride for me!
I have read the many great threads on tie-down spots on the feejer, and the concensus seems to be split over whether the bars or the lower triple trees are the preferred spot. I will have tie down equipment with me tomorrow, and will just see what looks best once my Dad and I get to Marina Del Rey where the bike awaits.
The vast amount of information and knowledge (and razor-sharp wits) within the members of this site is truly astounding, and I hope to be able to throw out a few "pithy pellets" as well as I discover the ins and outs of the FJR. We'll see you on the road!!
