[QUOTE="Flibmeister, post: 1166887, member: 87085"] Home and after 1500+ miles, very happy with both the machine and the ride. Worst part-- rode 200 miles in light to moderate rain, which included all of the greatly anticipated two-lane blacktop portion of the route through southeastern Utah. Was determined to make it to Page, though, because rooms are scarce and I had a nonrefundable reservation. It's their "high season" and even though all I wanted was a bed to sleep in, I had to pay Best Western's AARP rate of $256 for the night. Ouch. Best part-- the 80mph speed limits on the interstates through Idaho and Utah, which I tested just a little (max speed shown on the Garmin is 123mph). Also, Lake Mary Road, from Flagstaff down to Payson, gorgeous two-lane blacktop, nobody on it but me, and the temperature was 75 degrees. It'll be a few months before I see those kind of temps locally! Farkling is already fairly complete for my taste ([URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/159072-fs-2008-fjr1300-13k-miles-loaded-wextras-in-oregon/"]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/159072-fs-2008-fjr1300-13k-miles-loaded-wextras-in-oregon/[/URL]), but while I like the fact that the bike has been lowered 1", the stock side stand puts the bike close enough to vertical that it makes me nervous. I'll have to look into options for adjusting that to a comfortable angle. [/QUOTE]
