    FJR Mileage Milestones

    You've got 50,000 on a pink 2014? Cool.

    Bike keyed at work!

    No need for that, man! Your opinion is based on your needs and your experience. It's as valid as my opinions, needs, and experience. My multi-scarred, commuting FJR has those marks on both hardcases. (And maybe two or three sets on the starboard side.) Mine were caused by rubbing against...

    Bike keyed at work!

    Your opinion is never worthless, but this time it's incorrect. My FJR is a marvelous commuter bike! Power for the Interstate miles; nimbleness for the tight street corners in Midtown and Buckhead. Acceleration to maneuver among cars and trucks and to seek revenge on stoplights; serious brakes...

    What's the CA in model FJR1300 ES CA?

    I'm proud of my FJR farts.

    Is it Me, or Bags Difficult To Latch?

    Hey, sapest, did you ever find out why the bag wasn't closing properly? Bent hinge or latching tabs?

    FJR Mileage Milestones

    It isn't 200,000 miles, but she started at zero in November 2014. Sunday, May 26, somewhere between Atlanta, IL, and Atlanta, GA: <edit, next day> See the rain spotting?

    Information please: FJR Police Edition?

    With no real information except my opinion, you should be able to buy a stripped-down version of the police bike. Email the Idaho folks and ask. Link here, in PJ4863's post. Let us know, please.

    Looks like we have another FJR in the family

    If you two are headed this way, let me know. Always looking for an excuse to miss work.

    Schweet, and congratulations! And please don't mention riding an FJR in Europe again. My jealousy meter needs to recover. <edit, twenty mins later: Phuk. He started a THREAD.>

    Underwater Traction Control

    I will guess the rear tire slipped sideways due to the combination of slime and current. Glad you ... powered ... through it successfully!

    Information please: FJR Police Edition?

    Cobb Gwinnett County, GA has police FJRs; I have seen one. They're in northeastern metro Atlanta. I have been stymied whenever I've asked to chat with a motor officer or to snatch a photo of one for publication here. PM sent. As for why WE ride FJRs .... My two reasons are it's reputation...

    FJR Mileage Milestones

    Well, there USED to be a guy around here named SkooterG, but he don't come around here no more. I shook hands with somebody that must have been impersonating him at NAFO 5 in Montrose.

    the day has come, sold FJR

    Enn, photos or it's Fake News. Post up a ride report, brother. Its cool to see where other people live and ride. (Congratulations on the new bike!)

    2019 FJR Details Released

    The 2018 and 2019 ES model pages are almost identical, though. Surely they're not shipping last year's model as this year's model.

    Dropped it

    Wish I believed you. Practice has helped me a LOT with low speed handling. And, Mr Doyle, you're not the only one who needs help picking up these bikes.
