Mature Riders and FJR's

[JimLor]

Renegade - one of the sweet mysteries of life - we don't know when we have started the back 9 of life!

 

[Longrider]

At 72 years of age, I hope to soon out grow my youthful foolishness and become mature. My wife says there is no hope. See you all at SW-FOG, WFO, and CFO.

Ok, it's firmly established, then, that we are a bunch of comfort seeking geezers. :dribble:

put in perspective, a recent Wing World reported that their AVERAGE membership (GWRRA) age was "over 50".

we're spring chickens compared to the color-coordinated dairy queen crowd.

I wouldn't say that I'm Donald Trump

so you're not broke, bald and begging for attention?

Are you saying he wears a rug?!!!?

Might I be the youngest at 28? The fact is the FJR is THE best all around motorcycle around. It has the performance potential that will suprise alot of 600's, and the 2-up capacity I need for the wife. And it's still a cool looking bike. :clapping: I've always been wise beyond my years.

WITHOUT QUESTIONS, THE BEST STATEMENT OF THIS WHOLE THREAD! You sir, ARE wise beyond your years!

You can ride with the big boys. :drinks: Big in our group usually means, "IN GIRTH rather than LENGTH"! :haha:

[05fjrman]

Well, CK, you can be my deputy.

 

[Joe R]

39 years old here. The wife is 30. We want to do longer trips and the 06FZ1 was not doing the trick. Hopefully we can go for a ride sometime with the old farts here. Heading to Solvang this Saturday for a test run.

 

[Clark Kent]

Well, CK, you can be my deputy.

I'll have to decline the offer.

The last time I was in law inforcement was the 3rd grade in 1950. I was given my white crossing guard safety belt and badge.

I began kicking kids out of line that very day.

Just too much power.

It went to my head.

I was removed from the "force" the very next day.

I never looked back. But, I never went into law inforcement again. I just can't handle police powers!

I don't always obey the law all the time either. (got a speeding ticket a month ago!)

33 years

 

[erik_r1]

[SIZE=12pt]How old am I again? After 21, there aint nothing to look forward to/bother thinking about until 40 starts approaching. I was born in January 1979 so that makes me 28 (I bought my FJR last year at the ripe old age of 27).[/SIZE]

One thing I have found interesting is trying to explain to younger people what kind of motorcycle I have. For example, someone will ask “is it a crotch rocket?” No. “Is it a Harley?” No. I tell them I have a 2006 Yamaha FJR1300A… then I go with the definition Yamaha gave it… it is a “Super Sport Tourer.” What do I get? Looks of bewilderment.

40 here, The FJR looked like the best bet for a 2 up bike to add to the stable for a good long time.

 

[Gunner]

36 here Wanted to tour Road King did not cut it

Tis the love child of a union between a Hayabusa and a Goldwing.

[Hud]
