I know it says I am Carl but really I am Jonnie, his wife, who is too lazy to register!
I sold my FatBoy (don't worry Carl is still home) and have a 2009 FJR coming to Wyoming next week or so. I don't see me doing any LD riding but, it is not uncommon for me to do 500-800 miles a day. I will be retiring in 1.5 years and hope to be on the road more than at home.
For accessories, I know that I want additional lights, gps, satelite radio, J&M CB (I had it on my Harley) I added 1" to my riding boots and hope that my feet touch the ground otherwise I will be lowering it as I am inseam challenged. How are the seats on the FJR for long days in the saddle? I have experience with Russells since I have one on my KLR and an old GS.
I have a background of parking lot tip overs, I blame it on my short legs. So I am a little concerned about damaging the new shiny bike. It will be coming with sliders, any other suggestions/recommendations to prevent body damage?
Hoping for a warm front to come in so I can get a little ride in when the bike arrives! :yahoo:
