[QUOTE="gixxerjasen, post: 1315168, member: 20220"] After a long list of sportbikes, I had this hotness... [IMG]https://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/gixxerjasen/Past%20Vehicles/Motorcycles/IMG_1654_zpsc96e451e.jpg[/IMG] Then I plowed it into the side of a car that pulled out in front of me. Considered an FJR that was for sale locally, till a seller sent me pictures of this he had for sale. I'm kinda partial to the color scheme and he hooked me. [IMG]https://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/gixxerjasen/Past%20Vehicles/Motorcycles/DSCN0235_zps32ab4d64.jpg[/IMG] I kept thinking about the FJR though, still wanted to do more touring though, but didn't want to give up the performance. On an Arkansas trip with the FZ1OA, this guy was there and was impatient with our group's pace, and thus passed me and the lead rider. [IMG]https://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/gixxerjasen/Arkansas%202011%20September/IMG_6901.jpg[/IMG] I passed the lead rider and chased him down. I had to work hard and if not for the intervention of a slow moving pickup truck through the twisties I'm not sure I could have caught him. He saw the yellow in his mirror and rolled on hard and off we went. I realized then and there that the limiting factor was the rider and an FJR would not hold me back at all. I've teased him about the amount of money he cost me on that ride. He retaliated by taking more of my money and selling me his suspension. If my wife finds out it's one guy who cost me that much money total, he's in for it.
