[QUOTE="user 213, post: 1451234, member: 213"] If it will help, I can break it down more. This forum has seldom been politically correct and enabling to whining. :) Had the OP said the FJR is no dual-sport, 99% of readers would have agreed. Including me. Had the OP said the FJR was no dirt bike, 99% of readers would have agreed. Including me. The generic FJRs don't like dirt lacked specifics and presented as someone being uncomfortable who has been off bikes for a very long period and relatively recently gotten back into riding. Saying "Anyone got any strategies on making soft roads easier?" That the OP is a very recent member of the forum, AND is unwilling to, (or has not so far, deliberately using nonsense location of "at home"), put their location or any other details in their profile also smacks of trolling. So the OP has difficulties in soft conditions on the FJR. How is my suggestion of seeking more training hurtful, harmful or in any way demeaning? If you're having difficulties with some aspect of riding a motorcycle, more training specific to that area, and lots of practice, is generally an acceptable method by which to improve. Beating your chest about how many years of experience you have doesn't change the fact that the OP is the one saying they have some issues in dirt and soft conditions. I'm a piker here, with only 160k miles under my butt on a FJR. I can add around another 340k+ to that on other bikes. That's nothing compared to many here. Several, apparently, who also don't have issues riding in dirt or soft conditions. [/QUOTE]
