[QUOTE="tsteve, post: 5869, member: 525"] As far as stepping outside the norm goes, I've gone the other way. No more riding thousands of miles on holidays on a cruiser that struggles around sharp bends, no more wishing I could push on a bit faster on motorways, no more hoping I've strapped the bags down to the bike securely, no more soaking wet legs in the slightest shower, the list goes on and on. An FJR is much more a normal bike for the type of riding I do. :P As far as riding with friends goes, we go out each week with just one other couple now, the cruiser riders we used to go with either find we are a bit quick, or we find them too slow. Either way, I don't miss having to do 50mph when I could comfortably and safely be doing 80mph., and anyway I always found it a little scary at the lack of proficiency of some of the people we were riding with.
