[QUOTE="Gnirtsnod, post: 1366972, member: 89342"] I'm glad to report back that the trip was done safely and we had a blast. 5,733 miles in 14 days! The longest day was 707 miles and the shortest was 291. This was my first marathon trip on the FJR (had HD Ultras for 15 years before this) and I will attest to the superiority of the FJR. One MAJOR plus for the FJR - traveling at 65-70 mph and slowing to 55, then 45, then 35 mph in a small town then ramping the speed back up to 65 mph, realizing that I never shifted out of 6th gear. The Ultra would have worn me out shifting through this scenario and especially navigating in the Rockies. One surprise was that we never saw another FJR that we could confirm (we may have met one but could not tell for sure). This bike is awesome and apparently the best kept secret out there. ...Don [/QUOTE]
