Way to stay thirsty, my friend....
Probably in denial of a sickness, he's likely parched, is truly sick and there will be a #17.....

Great read and beautiful photos, Scooter.

You could be suffering from worse afflictions. Hopefully, this one won't fade.

After the smugmug url you have a "Rides" folder and a "FJR-16-Fly-N-Ride-From-Atlanta" folder then the image name. Your later ones come straight from the "Photos" folder and those are the ones that work. Might need to go back and update some of those links to get them to show.

I don't know WTF is going on! Every time I reload this thread I get something different. Sometimes all the photos are there. Sometimes half of them are missing. Once was like Festus and only the one photo wasn't there. I haven't changed anything in days. I did initially have some issues and tried fixing them by moving them to different file folders in SmugMug. That worked initially. Or so I thought. It's pretty damned frustrating.

On the plus side, the pie photo shows up. Sadly, the photo of your ugly mug also shows up, so I guess it balances out. :D

I've got to try that pie one day!

Oh my goodness! What a clusterf***! All photo links have been fixed. I think. All photos should be properly showing. Please let me know if any are not.

Now where's the next report for you to screw up? Should be due, right?

Edit: First one on day 3 still not showing up for me, the rest are there.

Thanks. Fixed. Looks like I missed one. What is weird is that it was showing up both on my laptop and my phone before I just now corrected it.

I know, had prior knowledge, I was just playing along trying not to spill the beans.... I'm not on FB, so didn't know the date of the actual deed.

SkooterG wrote: Fri May 05, 2023 12:07 pm So why a pristine 2013 model when I currently have, and have had so many other FJRs? Well, I have had three other '13 FJRs and I keep on coming back to it. Somewhere I described the '13 Stone Grey color as unremarkable, yet beautiful! I like it
I fell in love with the '13 color when it came out but found it impossible to give up my '07 black cherry. Still got it, 140K miles. 2 yrs ago I lucked into a '13 with 103K miles less , nicely farkled, 15 miles away for $6K. Only things I've done is add gps and phone mounts. I find I get as many compliments specifically on the '13 color as I do on the '07. I call the '13 Algae Green, like the wispy growth in clear streams. Not really green, nor gray, nor yellow but it really shines in the sun when it's clean! Hard to keep it that way in the rainy & buggy southeast especially when you ride as much as I do at dusk and later.

By pulling all the inventory off the market he's keeping our values high. That's all to his advantage when he decides to open his own FJR dealership and sell them all for a healthy profit. :D
