[QUOTE="BIODSL, post: 1314416, member: 2323"] Great story...the 2003 FJR has 130K on. After Alamo I began my annual trek to all the new Dutch Bros coffee shops that have opened in the last year. On day four of a four day ride to 19 new stores something when 'boom' on the second start of the morning. Smoke wafted up from underneath the tank. The bike sounded like a sick Harley and was probably making about 40 horsepower. Channeling my best Steve Attwood, I rode 238 miles to visit my last 7 stores. People stared at me all day long, it sounded that bad. I spend the day breathing unburnt fuel. She now sits in the garage, her last ride made. I'm not planning on spending a dime on her. I rebuilt her after a deer strike in 2006 and I'm not sure she's ever really been the same. I'll be looking for a low-mileage Gen 1 too host my Tanji and Russell and, hopefully, ride another 100K.
