Thanks all! Still trying not very hard to sell it :laugh:

That;s it. I see a few others on CycleTrader going for higher with similar miles, but in the end we are probably far enough on the end of the world out here that we're trying to keep the price attractive for someone who will appreciate it to also be able to come out here and get it. If we have...

Selling the FJR Mike (blueliner) bought from MrVrooom on the FZ1OA site many moons ago. Second owner. Never been laid down, laid over, laid up or tipped. Let me give you two outstanding reasons you should buy this bike: 1) It is currently 59 degrees in the beautiful coastal Pacific Northwest...

:tup: Nice trip, Jasen! Next time I hope we get to meet up with you, and I really hope you get to 141. :D

Lunch hour? I haven't done any real, actual work for three days. I have one employee who is sick so I asked her to please go home. Another asked to work remote and I said sure! Last one is at a dr's appt all afternoon. Actually, I wanted them all to leave so they don't catch me in here reading...

Nice write ups! I'm so excited a co-worker and I decided yesterday to do an IBA ride in August. His first! Color me lurking and reading for fun.

My mini-me. She's five foot and one half inch. The 250 is as low as it can get and she is still has to tip toe it.

Love the bee, that's what Mike's is. I have a skunk, as you can see from the pics. The two best FZ color schemes. On another note, I just got a text from my daughter. She is out on a ride, about her 3rd or 4th. She is with a college guy she knows from high school. He has a Ninja 650, so I was...

Well, he does ride an FJR...

Considering he's still alive, I concur.

Divorced in 2004, he moved back to Oklahoma (where we are from) in 2005, and died a year later 2006 at the age of 38. Drinking at a friends house, fell down the stairs, three days in a coma, drove down with the kids (ages 15 & 14 at the time), made the decision with the rest of his family to...

I know right? Actually, they are material similar to what a plastic cutting board is made of. Lee Parks makes them for use in the class. I took the Lee Parks class from Lee Parks himself. Those of us who didn't have leathers he gave these to as we got closer to touching down a knee. He said...

To use a phrase from Tolkien, short cuts make for long delays. If we are on 80, we are usually trying to get to points NW and making time. The scenic route is a no no for us on a day where we are going from, say, Denver to Boise. My dead-ex-husband lived in Rock Springs back in the late 70s or...
