[QUOTE="guyver60, post: 1417507, member: 20136"] Up until about three years ago I loved my 2008 FJR and even took it on some business trips with my suit rolled up in a bag. I retired three years ago thinking I was finally going to do some traveling and camping on the bike. Then eye surgery, knee surgery and two separate cardiac episodes for stints got in the way. During this time, my new son-in-law who races motocross, came in the picture - and I got interested in dirt bikes. At 58 years old and having never ridden one, I decided to give it a go, bought a WR250F, and fell in love with it. It has been one of the most painful (going down) and fun thing I've ever done. It's also something my 5 year old grandson loves, and we are doing it together. After spending almost a year on dirt bikes, I climbed on the FJR last week, and it felt like I was climbing on an elephant. I probably rode for an hour and a half, but after being on the skinny lightweight dirt bike I'm not sure I really got comfortable on the FJR. I know I need more saddle time on the FJR, but I'm wondering now if I will get comfortable switching back and forth between them. In the past I always thought there was nothing better than climbing aboard the FJR, but not sure I was really feeling it last week. I was just curious if others had much trouble going back and forth between a dirt bike and the FJR. [/QUOTE]
