    What to do with a high mileage 2003 FJR ?

    From A guy that had 3 in the garage until last summer. Two 03 FJR's and a wing. The advantage of walking out to the garage on a Sunday morning and playing eny meanie miny moe was over ridden with the silly cost of insuring 3 bikes. Spread the word amongst your riding partners and I'm sure they...

    So thanks to Mary Ellen, Scott and Rob, just kicked myself in the ass......

Is there really...

    Sorry Boss, I'm going...
