It's FJR Day!


Today is the day! My FJR will be traveling from the warehouse to the dealer and I will get a call (hopefully soon) to come on down. My digital camera is ready, my riding gear is in the trunk of my car, and I am as excited as an eight-year-old on Christmas morning.

I admit to some trepidation. Until you twist the throttle for the first time, you really have no idea just how powerful the bike will be. It's like lighting the fuse on an explosive you cannot see, and hoping that you are standing far enough away.

My sense of excitement has vastly overtaken my fear. Today is the day that I officially begin my grand experiment: trading a perfectly good automobile for the motorcycle equivalent of a cruise missile. No more wimping out because a few drops of rain are falling from the sky. No more filtered climate control. But I gain the pure, concentrated joy that only being out in it all can bring.

    The next concern would be when you buy a comfort bike rider. And 'safe and comfortable, the purchase of the bike to be sure that you get the correct size for their body structure. Since each person is unique dimensions of height, leg length, arm length, and there is no one-size-fits-all bike. When you buy a bike, go shopping and get help from suppliers. Make a structure would be assembled the best and try to see a series of frames, which is very nice. For added comfort and security, adjust the handlebars and seat position for comfort, correct posture, and maneuverability.
