Much obliged. Welcome to the site.Congratulations on a wonderful trip and terrific report, well done sir!
Thanks. It was awesome.
Well.... aside from that.... hehehe
Kidding too, gurpeee
Sorry, you'll have to reassess your definition of the words "tagging along" when every else has had the chance to stop, pee, have a drink, and a granola bar.......while awaiting your arrival around the latest section of bends......
lol, jk it wasn't that bad......?
:spank:
But nonetheless it is a valid point that for the last day we were together and the roads the windiest you were the only one still loaded like a mule since I'd dropped most my kit off in Santa Barbara.
I was riding slow on purpose. Hard to take it all in when all you are looking at is the road.
Also hard to look at the road when you come around a corner with no guardrail and a jaw-dropping landscape behind the 1000 foot drop!
Personally I prefer:

*WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*

FZ6 + FJR riders.......
So you really getting an FJR?!
See the Sprint GT thread I posted. I was thinking of an FJR but was hesitant because of the sheer size of it.
I think I'm set on the new sprint though.
The FZ6 is amazing and versatile, but 15 day trips with a big rider is REALLY starting to get out of its range. Some of those miles felt like work. Im excited like a schoolgirl about the new sprint though. The local dealer said he'd have one early october for me to see.
Go for the Sprint GT Lone......much smaller than the FJR...and as such, a bit more sporty, when you need it to be...
:thumbup:
yeah i was just being drawn in by some of the touring feautres of the fjr.
the gt cuts into them a little bit so takes away the appeal of the fjr a little bit. and the biggest draw is the sportiness of it, because if i could, i would buy an R1.......but problem is i couldnt get to any corners. my bike needs to get me to corners with enough comfort that i enjoy the way there and back but MAX sportiness possible in that equation.
