This is why I like the rides on this forum vs that other one.

[n2osx]

So a couple of weeks ago down here in Portland, there was a group of PNW riders going on a ride and I figured that the wife and I would check it out for the first time. Well there were mostly Harleys, 3 sports bikes and another FJR. It was a very boring ride. With the FJR guys it is a bit more "spirited". I would like to meet more FJR guys in my area to ride with. I just figured that I would say thank you to you guys for making it such a good time.

So what'cha trying to say Carl. Everyone knows that we're a bunch of old slow guys here...There couldn't be folks older and slower than this senior group of like minded individuals, could there? I've found that you must choose your riding partners carefully, of course...look who I hang around with. h34r:

See you Saturday.

Ya George, your right. That just reminds me that getting through the show this weekend is gonna take forever with all you damn old FJR farts pushing your walkers, not name names. (Niehart, Panman, blufjr just to name a few!) I digress. I'm gonna have to weave in and out of all you old guys like a dum young kid driving a stupid Honda with stickers, wing, and a fart can exhaust and think I'm fast just cause I passed you!!!! :tomato2: No, I just want you guys to know that I respect you guys (despite your very senior age group!) very highly and you guys are a huge benefit after I got my beloved bike. I used to have a CBR 929 a long time ago and I know and don't like how not all, but alot of those guys are, and I have ridden Harleys with other friends and even some of them I don't like their attitudes of their $h!t don't stink. It's funny, I haven't met any really that close to my age that rides an FJR. I tell you what, hanging out with you guys makes me feel like I am volenteering at a senior center, or at least hanging out at an Eagles concert where all you smell is BenGay. lol

lol That is pretty good. You know, I was raised to respect my elders. So that being said, I respect you guys ALOT! So, to you, lead the way, because like they say, "Age Before Beauty!"

Carl

P.s. I have never seen it, but from what I hear, no one else mounts a walker to a bike with such style the way you do. Hats off to you, my friend. :hi:

 

[Niehart]

Carl, did you get the windshield parts?

With the FJR guys it is a bit more "spirited". I would like to meet more FJR guys in my area to ride with.

Me too.

Given the average age of FJR riders, I expected a sedate pace when I rode down to EOM. My first ride with a forum member was an eye opener. I got left for *DUST* as soon as the road got twisty. But being a forum member, he didn't just abandon me. He waited by the side of the road for me to catch up. Then he made me lead. After arriving at the hotel I told him how crazy smooth he was. He just grinned, shrugged his shoulders and said I was doing pretty damn good myself.

After talking to a bunch of these guys over the next a few days, you'd be wise to listen and hear what they have to say. Lots of experience here.

Carl, great to see you & your wife at the Seattle Bike show. You missed some good door prizes at breakfast but would guess Bryan's wife's cooking was better.

About 10 years ago I was considering a new Concours. I had the opportunity to ride one across Vancouver Island but it was going to be part of a Goldwing (GWRRA) ride... Ride Captain and all <insert groans here>. I still get frustrated when I think about that ride and all the good stuff I missed having to stay in formation. After lunch in Uclulet, I made a dash for the bike and did a solo blast back to the east side of the Island. Yes, I did buy a new Connie after that.

I think there is a youth movement with the FJR I am under thirty (till February) and didnt see many guys/gals close to my end of the age barometer until this past year on this forum or the other FJR forum I frequent. I hope us young guys dont ruin it cause old guys have money and can move to a new bike and leave us youngins to our devices and that could end ugly.

 

[n2osx]

That is tru. I really like hanging with the "old" guys, (you know who you are), they do have alot of knowledge to share with us young guys.

And soon you will transition from the old age of youth to the youth of old age...
