Holy Cow! No more cruisers for me!

I just rode my '06 from Sacramento, CA to Taos, NM via Flagstaff, AZ and back. About 3200 miles, averaged 35.4 mpg at 90, even 140 for a few moments. Check out Navajo 9 in west - central NM. I found that a Corbin seat works better for me than stock. I'm 6'2" and wish the bike had (gasp) hiway pegs or something to stretch out on. I just drag a foot or stretch forward for 10 seconds and I'm good for another 20 miles. Although I can tell this is a fatter bike than the '06 FZ1 I owned for 4 months, I much prefer the FJR. It's nimble enough for being 560 lbs. I'm now at 4700 miles and look forward to many more trips - some local and some way out.

I pick my 04 ABS up in 2 weeks!!! I haven't even ridden one yet but I already am in love from just sitting on it! I had a honda 919 and an 04 V-star silverado. Time for something in the middle, Honda uncomfortable but fast, vstar comfertable but slow and I drag floorboards like a fat lady with kankles.

Wohoo, just looking at pictures of my soon to FJR gets me all worked up, my wife is jealous!!

Wish it was warmer than 40 degrees!!!
