[QUOTE="Uncle Hud, post: 1247361, member: 29492"] My comment wasn't hating on the city -- although 6 months working in lower Manhattan made me really appreciate Atlanta. Compared to the Bonneville, the FJR is heavier, has a higher center of gravity (I think), and she's got rather wide hips when carrying the hardcases. Not traits one imagines an ideal urban motorcycle would possess. I ride my FJR into downtown Atlanta a lot: commuting or joyriding from my home 12 miles away in the near-burbs. But downtown Atlanta is different than Manhattan or Brooklyn; we have elbow room in the street and space on the sidewalk to park your bike. Nevertheless, the FJR performs well when buzzing through town. Where she shines -- brighter than any other bike -- is rolling up I-85 to Charlotte to visit my son and his wife for the weekend, or carrying me to Kingsport and back in a day. [/QUOTE]
