Well I went out this week and put some real miles on my new Yamaha FJR1300 this last week
I rode about 900 miles in a couple of days of riding with friends around central Wisconsin and upper Iowa.
Heres an action shot of me courtesy of my friends wife of me cruising the FJR1300 about 80+ mph on a low traffic part of the interstate.
what a great week for riding.

Hey Skip, do any of your riders have a BMW motorcycle? Those things are almost too classy to ride. Really nice.

Hey Bobby, no one I ride with has a BMW.
I rode a 2008 BMW K1200GT before I bought my Yamaha FJR1300.
I didn't like the Beemer at all.
Overpriced,clunky shifter,premium fuel only $$$$$. Expensive upkeep and parts/service and a very strict P.M. schedule changed my mind very fast.
Plus Beemer guys are stuck up and snooty and think they are better than every other rider/bike brand on the road. I'm not like that.
Plus I know from past experience that Yamahas and Hondas.
are reliable as the sun.
Just change the oil and put some regular gas in it and ride ride ride............

 

[Fatdog]

So... how do you REALLY feel about them?

 

[bill]

good times.

Didn't I just tell you?????? LOL!!!!

 

[monchito]

well skippy ira will then change over to the hydroturbine car instead of his woodie it goes real fast

 

[redbenjoe]

hey ramon --i forgot you had that shot

i made that cart about 20 years ago
for those that cant tell by looking at wheelbase , tires etc -

its the quickest handling vehicle on EARTH

 

[MasterBlaster84]

Ira, are you holding on to the brake with your left hand? I don't think that cart is handicapped approved.

don --
you uncovered the only weak point of the design --

my 'rub -the-tire' brake system suks --
when that tire is wet --
its so useless
that the only way to avoid certain death

is to BAIL
